I was lead to the Emerald Lux FREE Starter Kit from an MSN News report about the success rate of e-cigarettes. Paid just $4.95 for shipping this kit and gave it as a Christmas gift. I thought: this is great! A reputable website referenced me so this has to be an honest and reputable company to buy from. I was so wrong... in early-January I received a package with refill cartridges that I did not order. I checked my bank account and found that it had been charged $69.90 for the refills. I then also learned they had charged me $109.95 for the "FREE" Starter Kit. I contacted customer service requesting a shipping label for the cartridges, and a refund for the charges. I was shocked at the customer service reply that essentially said "too bad, you signed up for it". I explained that I was NOT aware that by choosing an Emerald Lux "FREE" starter kit I would be charged for that kit (how is it FREE then?) and automatically charged/shipped refills. I am giving them 2 business days to apply the refund & send a label before I contact my credit card company to dispute the charges. Based on how many scam-reports I have seen with this company, I don't forsee any problems. What a scam!
