E-Cigarette Scam: Knight Sticks

This is a new one, Knight Sticks. E-Cigarettes are 'electronic cigarettes' which allow smokers to inhale nicotine like a normal cigarette, but without the tar and smoke. E-Cigarettes sold online use something called "negative option" which automatically signs trial buyers up for a monthly commitment to buy more cigarettes.

Knight Sticks are being advertised online at popular websites. The ads claim that buyers can try a sample of Knight Sticks for little money and no obligation. However, the fine print on the sign up form has more information not generally included in the ads.

The sign up form says the trial is "Risk Free*", but the camouflaged link of terms and conditions for Knight Sticks has the actual details of how that trial works.

Here is the first charge..

When you order the FREE Trial of Knight Sticks your credit card will be charged only $9.95 shipping and handling


Then the big charge afterward..

At the end of your 10 day trial period you will be charged $99.90 for the e-cigarette package you received.

This trial period starts when the buyer orders Knight Sticks, not after they receive them.

Then the offer continues..

Every 30 days thereafter you will be sent a month supply of 15 Knight Sticks refill cartridges and your credit card on file will be billed $49.90 plus $9.95 shipping and handling.

E-Cigarettes are the latest trend sweeping the nation and Knight Sticks are a new brand. But buyers should carefully read the fine print when purchasing any product online.

E-Cigarette Scam: Vapur

E-Cigarettes are electronic cartridge cigarette type products which the manufacturers claim are a safe alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes. Be warned though that buying e-cigarettes online may be more expensive than you think.

There are ads for e-cigarettes everywhere these days. All talk about how e-cigarettes are safer to smoke than real cigarettes. Or that they are legal to smoke in doors now unlike real smokes. Regardless, they are marketing these devices everywhere.

Like other products sold online, e-cigarettes are sold in a subscription package. When a buyer tries a trial version of the product, they are automatically signed up for recurring shipments of the product until canceled. This is often not mentioned in the advertisements.

A new electronic cigarette is Vapur. Vapur uses ads on popular websites to drive visitors to their advertisement page, generally a story made to look like it is found in a new publication online.

I found the ad for Vapur on a site called "My Blog on How I stopped smoking!". The story was typical.. "we threw out our cigs and started using the Vapur electronic cigarette.. You can too.. go to this link and buy it...".

So I checked the link for Vapur e-cigarettes, after all, the link specifically said "free trial".

I was taken to a sign up page for Vapur which claimed it was normally priced at $139.00. Again, the ad said this was for a free trial. However, before submitting, I read the fine print at the bottom of the ad..

The two week trial period begins immediately when you place your order with us. By placing an order, you agree to pay a non-refundable charge of $9.95 for the shipping and handling costs of sending your trial offer packet,

At the end of the two week trial period you are automatically enrolled in our Electronic Cigarette Cartridge Refill Program (the “Refill Program”). A one-time Refill Program enrollment fee of $89.95 will be collected from the form of payment you used for the shipping and handling charges for the initial two week supply

The free trial actually costs $9.95 up front.

Buyers will be billed for the Vapur free trial two weeks after beginning the free trial unless they cancel. They will be billed $89.95.

Buyers will be automatically enrolled in a buying plan which will bill them every month for $69.99 and will keep receiving Vapur e-cigarettes.

Be aware of this if you are thinking about trying e-cigarettes namely the Vapur brand sold online.
