Sadly, thanks to social media and the internet, it’s easier than ever to be scammed out of your hard-earned money. This is especially true in the “grey market” of cannabis. There are more scammers than ever before popping up all over. These scams promise free cheap THC and state that they deliver anywhere in the United States. Here are some important tips on how to avoid such scams.
Out Of State Delivery Of Weed
Beware! If sellers promise that they deliver to any state you’re either seeing a scam or a “honeypot” trap by law enforcement. The weed delivery orders should always come from the state wherein you reside and they should only deliver in the state they originate in. Click here to see a reputable seller.
No Credit Cards Or Cheques
Cannabis can’t be bought with a cheque or a credit card. Online vendors that offer such sales are out for your money. Stay away.
Pay Up Front
Another vendor may require up-front payment. They may require cryptocurrency and it’s important to only use this if you’ve used this service before and absolutely trust this company.
Double-Check Website URLs
Ensure that you’re on the correct website. Many copycat websites use misleading URLs that are phony. They also use fake domains and a lot of misspellings that sound almost like the real deal. They set up fake payment methods and steal your money. You won’t receive anything but heartache and an empty wallet.
License And Reviews
Be sure to look up the license and read any reviews on any of the companies you are considering doing business with. Don’t just believe what they tell you, check out the fine details and make sure that you’re dealing with a real legitimate company. Whether in California or Oklahoma, cannabis dispensaries have to be licensed under the specific laws from the legal states wherein they are based. Check customer reviews and satisfaction. If you find issues, see what the company says in the reviews (often a legitimate company will resolve issues right in the reviews).
Avoid Social Media Purchases
Never, never, ever order any weed product or any other marijuana product off of a social media site. Just because it sounds legit, just because it states that it can deliver to any location, doesn’t make it legitimate. If it’s not local, it’s not legitimate. Even if they promise a half-price delivery, it’s not legitimate. It’s a scam and you can be taken quickly if you’re not watching for such scams.
