BREAKING NEWS VIA EMAIL



Hello

If you have received this message we regret to inform you that due to the FDA's new regulations regarding electronic cigarettes your order has been delayed. As of April 24 2014 our product no longer complies with American Federal law and as such our dropshipper could not legally ship your product resulting in a backlog of orders.

Due to our high volume of emails we were unable to see the notification from our dorpshipper and continued to assume we were operating as normal. Contrary to popular belief the new FDA regulations come into effect right away and not within 90 days of their announcement.

We are working hard to comply with the new FDA regulations and once they have been met we can resume shipping and you will receive your product.

For those requesting refunds unfortunately pursuant to our terms of service and the fact our dropshipper is ready to ship your order we cannot offer a refund at this time as your order is coming from the factory to our dropshipper and not through us. If further issues persist we will however offer refunds.

Please allow an additional 2 - 3 weeks for your orders to arrive. We are extremely sorry about the circumstances and will be shipping all of those affected a hard copy of our marketing guide and a box of our new sample flavors once they are in production. Free of charge of course.

We will update our website with a copy of the new FDA regulations later today.

For any questions concerns or comments please email us back at uberehookah@gmail.com

**Our website will be undergoing maintenance today as well and will be up and down for the next 24 hours**

Our regrets and Thanks,

Spencer Benterud
CEO Uber Vape Technologies
uberehookah@gmail.com

Time to search for another profitable hustle in the meantime.

Agreed.....Im out 78 boxes for the time being...... I dont even know how to add in the Nick Cage face........

Yeah like this could not be seen a mile away

Does this mean they are going to change the formula to conform to the regulations? What sort of regulations is the FDA proposing anyway, specifically?
.

I think they have to change the labels and get FDA approval for their existing formula....at least thats what my research has concluded. Blu is doing the same thing right now.

Aren't they already "FDA certified"? Thinking about jumping in to make a little extra $$$.

Royale

Not sure but I assume they would have to be as its a consumable....I think they have to get re certified to comply to the new e cig standards.

Sounds a bit sketchy to me - even the website is a bit amateurish

@CEO any luck discovering where or who the source for these are? would be interested in going directly to the source (this is for selling outside north america)

Any updates?

^ I think the "update" is that this is most certainly a scam. Sad that he's got +4 reputation points for deluding us all, and robbed me of $100.

Man that's bad to hear for you guys.

But I say charge it to the game and never pay anyone in a forum again.

The concept and plan is still the same though right? Buy cheap from China and flip to the college students.

Sounds about right. Just with a little more vetting the suppliers from here on out... It's also probably high time E-cigarettes come off the table, I'm not liking the FDA weighing in. I'm also putting in my vote for Tuth to close the thread.

Hey guys, here's the last emails that have been sent back and forth between Spencer and I. Things just seem really fishy. I've requested my refund after having ordered over a month ago and received nothing yet. Read the emails to see what I mean. If I don't hear back from this guy, with a refund, I will file a claim with Paypal and suggest all you guys do the same.

   

All looks like an obvious scam now, I emailed the guy about the so called ''guide'' a few weeks ago and he wrote the same that he was updating the latest version, luckily never bought from that site.

Just checked the review video on the site which has a grand total of 60 views on youtube and it was uploaded 2 months ago, just around the time this thread was started, all looks like a pre planned scam by CEO, shame.

"Please allow another 2-3 weeks for your order" yeah because by that time your 45 day rule for disputing payments on paypal will be up and it will be impossible to recover your money.

Not to mention,

1) we haven't seen a single photo of these purported "e-hookahs"
2) CEO and Spencer use the same exact language (both called Singapore a "gorgeous" city in this topic and in email)
3) the blond dude in the video IS Spencer/CEO
4) here is his facebook: https://www.facebook.com/spencer.benterud?fref=ts

I'm still more pissed that he got rep points for scamming RVFers than even the $100 that i sunk into this kid
.

Pretty much, here is a screenshot of my conversation with him. I didn't even mention CEO to Spencer...

I'm surprised no one questioned the guy with no rep and advertising that amateurish website more. Then again the principle of the idea seemed good enough.

Can anyone do anything seeing as we know who the guy is and have his Facebook? He's probably took 1000s of $$$ from RVF members just from this thread.
Obviously guys who ordered less than 45 days ago open up a dispute immediately.

Well this is a first time that RVF members have been financially scammed. Just be careful of new members.

For deals like this, the promoter should provide a free sample to one RVF member who can review his product and credibility.

They emailed me to, wanting to advertise on my blog.

I said depends on what they can pay. They said they would get back to me.

Rule of thumb on RVF (or buying anything on the web): Unless someone has been vouched for by multiple members and has substantial rep points, tread carefully.

Fuck it, I'll charge my 187 to the game and try to file a complaint.

So far he's gotten at least 1K from forum members.

Also, pardon the bump, but do I open a dispute with my credit card company or with paypal?

Agreed. I'd like to extend this to: Don't take anyone's unconventional gaming/ lifestyle advice seriously unless they've been vouched for by other members.
