warning cigarlover888 scumbag scammer

[tksamtec]

I guess there's always that slim chance that something drastic happened to him or a family member.  Unlikely, but I have heard alot of excuses for not sending packages in a reasonable time, and some of the most outlandish excuses from cigar guys.  I truly hope nothing happened but in most scams similar to how things have gone down here so far, the seller uses a bogus tracking number, and after a few days its delivered to an incorrect address or the package starts bouncing aroudn the USPS tracking system.  USPS doesn't issue a label or tracking number until the shipping has been paid for... and the label in the OP for this thread shows it was insured too (over the $50 or $100 standard insurance that is included with Priority mail).  This sort of makes me think something happened to the seller.  Its been exactly 1 week since the tracking was issued, which is not a really long time, but if I were invovled here, I would want answers as to why the box was not picked up or dropped off after a week of sitting.  Bad things do happen on occasion.

Crossing my fingers for everyone here.

After purchasing a label online (Click-N-Ship) and obtaining a tracking number, the purchaser can then just not use the label and request a refund from USPS. Common scam tactic.

I realize you can request a refund, which takes about 2 weeks to process.  Why bother to purchase addirional insurance coverage knowing you are setting up a scam and going to get a refund in 2 weeks...seems a bit ridiculous to me.

By no means am I taking sides here, just wondering if something came up for him...that would explain the lack of communications and not shipping people's boxes. I know it looks fishy and it probably is a scam, but I am hoping for otherwise.

He got me also for $625 for the sharks.

According to his profile page, he was last active yesterday... he knows what he's doing.

I agree. This is no accident. Sold multiple boxes of different Opus. POS.

Add me to the list for power rangers.  I’ll do whatever if we need to file a police report.  I’ve been buying for years, although new to here, and this is a first.  Doesn’t feel great.
