Oh the e-Cigarette Scams we see every day….Would you pay $12 for an individual Cartomizer? Of course not. RegalCigs wants you to though. Here’s the scoop on the next Prada eCigs DISASTER.
Remember the number of complaints against Prada eCigs (safsecuretrial.com) on Consumer Affairs? )
The “Free Trial” eCig company ripped off thousands of smokers by convincing them to order an eCig starter kit for free, just pay shipping and handling.
Because hundreds of people did not read the fine print that were charged $149 a few days after receiving their starter kit and found themselves enrolled in a monthly program of refill cartomizers; 10 cartomizers for $69.99.
RegalCigs
RegalCigs, a company based in Escondido, CA (UPDATE: Regal Cigs is also located here; Regal Cigs at 405 W. Fairmont Drive, Tempe, AZ 85282) has launched a nearly identical “free trail” offer today at www.getregalcigs.com and the terms and conditions are the same as Prada eCigs.
It’s the same “14 Days”, including the time it takes to get to you, the same inexpensive crap starter kit that they bang you $120 for after your trial, and a whopping $12 PER cheap Cartomizer.
Unless we ACT now thousands of people that are looking to QUIT smoking will be ripped off, and will unfortunately be so afraid of being ripped off again that they’ll never try a REAL eCigarette, from a reputable company.
The RegalCigs Starter Kit
RegalCigs is offering a starter kit that contains;
- 1. One (1) Battery
- 2. 5x Cartomizers
- 3. USB Charger
- 4. Wall Charger
- 5. PCC case
This starter kit offers about the same number of items that many kits sold by legitimate eCig companies for less than $50. What do you pay a few days after receiving your “free trial”? A whopping $119.95, in addition to the $9.95 you paid in shipping for your “free trial”.
As soon as you click the “Submit” button on the “getregalcigs.com” website your trial begins. Before it’s packaged, before you receive it, before you can even go to another website. By the time it arrives you’ll be lucky to have 2 days to cancel.
Can it get worse? Absolutely.
Your monthly REFILLS ($69.95 + $9.95 shipping) includes;
1 PACK of Cartomizers containing FIVE (5) Cartomizers. Cost? Try $59.95 + $9.95 for shipping. $70 for 5 cartomizers. $12 per cartomizer. TWELVE DOLLARS PER CARTOMIZER!!!
We all know that even most expensive Cartos on the market are about $2.00 – $2.50 per Carto. And the BEST cartos (in this authors opinion) run about $1.50 a piece.
is asking every reader to please, please, pass this information along to other you know. Post it in Forums, Tweet it, send people here to read the Purchase Agreement for this company…
Whatever it takes, let us work TOGETHER to save thousands from being once again RIPPED OFF by the people behind companies like RegalCigs.
If you really want to stop these people, please write, email, call or fax Fox, CBS, Men’s Health and Discovery Channel and tell them the fact about eCigarettes and their relative cost against what RegalCigs is charging. Tell them to WITHDRAW the advertising of RegalCigs.
Is it a Scam? That’s for you to decide, but PLEASE, read the fine print, which we are reprinting below.
