I guess someone sees all the expensive prices in the pipe world and decides to scam people, I mean seriously, what the flip, running a scam tobacco site! LOL ?

It just goes to show people will try to scam people out of anything these days, and until I started smoking a pipe again, I would of never thought there would be something like this.

Pathetic! :(

It would also be lies. Weez has got rock solid sex appeal.
Here is how I really feel... ?

well if there is a way to scam someone someone will try it. It's one of those things where people who are looking for a way to make a buck without providing anyone benefit, they'll try to do it. I am sure that people were coming up with scams before we came up with money.

Sad that ecommerce hasn't enough manpower to shut this bastard down and go after him.

Thanks for the heads up, but anyone with filling between theirs ears should be able to determine that's a junk site...

Clues include, but are not limited to;
1. They have an option for "Informations"
2. Their shipping policy contains information for shipping your tobacco via 18 wheeler.
3. The "pipe tobacco" section contains pipes, not tobacco.
4. None of their social links work
5. They stole SMP's logo
6. Their "customer care" tab doesn't function
7. They take Maestro
8. They have better selection and prices than P&C

I mean, if that last one doesn't throw a flag... ?
They have Esoterica...

Thanks for the heads up!

I am surprised to see that they use Paypal. Virtually all customers are covered by PP protection policy.

I bought knockoff mason jar lids during the pandemic shortage and paid with PayPal. Everything on the website said "USA made - Ships from USA." As soon as I (eventually) got a tracking number, it originated in China. They wouldn't respond to refund requests until I contacted PayPal. Then, I got a refund with a damned quickness.

Remember that some M95 masks were fakes too. Anything can be faked and anyone can get scammed. The more we let each other know the better.

I mean, if that last one doesn't throw a flag... ? There are also a lot of suspicious outdated emojis. There are such moods that you want to attach something really original. Now there is a lot of news on the network. I would not stop at one thing, it is worth considering different options masterbundles.com/ It might be a good idea to check out some emoji resources. Or you can turn to the company of programmers for advice, because the site needs a little redesign
The simple registration form on the site is also suspicious, and the logo was really overdone

Perhaps the earliest scam was "I'm now your king, and you'll do what I say or my bootlickers here will beat the snot out of you."
