Rip-Off Report: SmokerPipe.com Scam Site

[admin]

Warning! This is a scam site. Do not order from them.
SmokerPipe.com - copy / paste that into your browser if you like, but please do not link to them from the forums. A link will give them legitimacy in the search engines. (For the geeks here, I couldn't get the nofollow tag to work in forum posts.)
They stole the design from Smoker's Haven and apparently stole the photos of pipes from SmokingPipes.com. It seems they do not have inventory, but they will take your money.
More to come later today. I am working on the story now.

Is there nothing these fools will try to relieve us of our money. It just shows how carefull we need to be. Thanks for the warning Kevin.

Thanks Kevin! I really try to support our site sponsors as much as possible in part due to these kind of issues.....

Thanks.

One of the reasons I stick with sponsors . . . just easier to avoid this nonsense.

Kevin, Thank You.

Thanks for the heads-up. It never stops. I get 2 calls a week telling me I've won the publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes. The calls come from Jamaica. Craig's List is awash with scams as well as e-bay. Best to stay with who you know.

What ever you do, don't order a pipe from Smokingpoops.com I ordered a pipe from them and it tasted like shit.

Bastards. Thanks for the heads up Kevin.

 

[pstlpkr]

Have they been reported to the FBI yet?

The site is back up and the article is updated with another site they own doing the same thing.
Make sure you have a good Firewall and Anti-Virus if you decide to visit them. This is what I got on my last visit.

where are they kev? if close to me will show up as a thief in the night, rob their stash and share it with everyone here :wink:

 

[pipetrucker]

Yet another reason I only buy pipes in person, from B&Ms.

 

[grouchy]

kev, report them to microsoft so that can take measure too.

 

[ace57]

Thanks for the 2nd time today, stay on top of it.
