After reading crackheads post, and hearing stories of bad deals on the net, it crossed my mind that, especially now we all need to be very cautious with online purchases of smokes.
Consider how easy it would be to open a legit looking site offering good prices and typical terms and conditions, then after accepting a few Hundred Thousands of Dollars in orders, simply shut down.
Whats your recourse? Call the Federal trade commission and file a complaint? For ordering tax free smokes?
What a catch 22 
Now, consider that you are one of the anti-smoking cultists that wants to punish the smokers. What a nifty way of accomplishing your goals while making yourself wealthy.
Just a thought, but I am a skeptic. |

That is a very true observation. Have you ever heard of Grab-a-Site? It is a program that will snatch a web site out of the Internet completely intact. All the pictures and links are downloaded to your hard drive. That means you don't even have to do any work at all. You can pick a nice looking site, upload it to your server and be in business in less than a day.
I have seen several hacker sites that are completely identical to legitimate sites. If you aren't completely aware at all times, it is very easy to get ripped off.
Cigarette sites are a natural for this type of deception. |
