MtnLioness Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 A friend on Facebook posted about this Prado e-cig and this is looking like a complete rip off to me. She posted this link: http://healthconsumernews.com/healthysmoke/ Looks cool and all...though right away I wondered why they were pushing this Prado e-cig so much. Scroll at the bottom. UGH.........look at that fine print! Insane! Plus I also saw this: http://www.ripoffreport.com/tobacco-companies/prado-electronic-cig/prado-electronic-cigarette-eci-7d622.htm If you keep scrolling down, you'll see other complaints, too. What's really unfortunate is a friend of ours on Facebook posted a big thanks to her and said he ordered one. I wish people wouldn't be such impulse buyers and do their research! Can you believe this? "If your Trial Starter Kit and one month supply (20 cartridges) of cartridges is not returned within fourteen days, your credit card will be billed the purchase price of $149.90. Upon placing your order, you will be enrolled in the Cartridge Refill Value Plan, which will automatically send your refill cartridges 30 days after you order the starter kit (20 cartridges) and every thirty days thereafter and bill your credit card $59.95 plus $9.95 Processing and Handling.. " Wow....so....anyone else heard of this one? I hope that friend can get his money back. I posted immediately, warning them both. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The economy sucks right now and half of america is uninsured so the prescription rouute is already messed up, idk, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

LoriHNC Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 A few months ago, I was talking about this "Prado" ecig when I was visiting my family in NY. My sister and my niece fell for this. http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/forum/topic/6664-prado-ecig/page__p__59751__hl__prado__fromsearch__1#entry59751 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAYVAPE Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I remember that Lori!! Did they get their money back?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriHNC Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I remember that Lori!! Did they get their money back?? Yeah DAY...after a fight to end what they called, a contract with them. In the fine print you are agreeing to future payments, just like the book clubs and such. My niece returned the whole kit. The bad part is, she didn't take my advice and get a 510 kit, so she and my sister are still smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAYVAPE Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Those are the ones that give e-cigs as a whole a bad rap! Maybe they will come around after hearing about your success. We can only hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeRo9k Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Ya, screw those companies. It's funny because a lot of spam companies use that same picture with the lady in the newscast. It's like if you're going to scam people, you use that image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
