mushrat Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Western union is the favorite of con artists the world over. Also the site is crappy, their link to wikipedia for hookah is for the scuba/snorkleing type of Hookah system, not the pipe, they are located in Syria, so you know what your chances are of getting a problem taken care of.Anyone orders from them, don't expect much sympathy if you get screwed.

Johnny_D Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Mental note :- Don't be oino's friend But like it or not, Mushrat's right. There is no good reason not to accept credit card [or debit card] payments.Protection for consumer. Vendor gets his money. What's the problem?I would take extreme caution on this one.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everydayshisha Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 most of the sellers that require Western Union payment only are scum. If you look over the web you ill find 1000's of those sites offering iphones at 200 USD + 1 free every 3, high end laptops for 300USD, even bikes for less taht 1kUSD, I mean big bikes.Paying with Western Union is the most dangerous way of paying, and i'd not suggest that you use it unless you know the recipient really well.DONT BUY FROM THERE.

Im still getting spam from there...doesnt matter how long its been there, just do yourself a favor and dont.Also, Ive never heard of anyone who requires a minimum...money is money, business is business, and if a discount is necesary, it can be given in the form of a coupon...Free worldwide shipping? i dont think so.But If you want to go out on a limb, nay not even a limb, a twig, a frozen piece of hair, a .5mm piece of lead, etc call them and see whatsup.

guyt Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 This site might actually be legit. In Israel that is about what you pay for a good hookah. A cheap 24 inch egyptian in the middle east is less than 10$ not 50$. And the seperable and inseperable is whether you plan to smoke it or not. My mom has a couple non-seperable hookahs that look nice but you cannot smoke them. They are for decoration. If this is legit this might be where JandR get their syrians from.

hookah hippie Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Wow ordering from there is probably the furthest away from a smart idea.

What's the problem?I would take extreme caution on this one.JDWestern Union also offers insurance for a small extra fee, and frankly there are lots of sites I'd like to order from all over the world that my bank won't let me use my card on. For instance, one site takes only Euros, and my bank doesn't like the translation, so authorization won't go through. Although indeed Western Union can be the focus of scam artists, it can also be a legimitate form of payment for sites that do not have access to international money conversion that US banks will accept on their credit cards. Still it's one of those won't know for certain until someone tries kind of situations!'Rani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdb636 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 that last picture was like a cup with a stem set in it. not to mention that is easily the shadiest site i have ever seen, but go ahead and order like 50 right away, you seem pretty set on proving this sites validity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyt Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Or we can all wait for Oino to get the money, and then the extra weeks it takes it to get here.I don't see though how will a hookah survive weeks in shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oino Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 Man whatever you guys are fucking buzzkills. I would rather have a hookah that looks different that all the other ones that are for sale on-line. Which are the same ones that I can get for a fucking like half of the price at the flea market and a third if I get wholesale. I would risk it for a hookah its not that much money anyways and if it isnt a scam ill have 3 hookah. I can sell 2 quick as shit for profit.

Risk it yourself, if you wish, but don't try to draw others into it, and insult those with a reasonable amount of caution. You are responsible for the money they will lose, and as such it puts you in a very iffy position, bordering on scamming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oino Posted December 11, 2007 Author Share Posted December 11, 2007 I dont have an attitude. No ones fronting me any money. Im buying them. If I get them then. I send hookah and they send money. Pretty simple eh'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
