How a Drugs scam works
In this scam, the criminal uses the domain 420vapecarts.com to scam people by pretending to sell goods online from their website. Once you pay for the goods the scammer will not send them to you.
The scam has now just started. The scammer will now convince you that he will ship the goods to you. The scammer will create a fake shipping website and give you a shipping number. This is in order to steal even more money from you by charging you for shipping.
The scam continues
- Cost of product
- Shipping
- Taxes (multiple times)
- Airport fees
- Bribes
Who created 420vapecarts.com?
Scammers create multiple websites for their scams. We research these sites and publish warnings in order to prevent people from getting scammed. Scammers constantly change how they build their websites to not get noticed by us. Here are just a few of the red flags we found from checking WHOIS:
The domain was registered 10 months and 20 days ago. on Mon the 15 Jul 2019 with NameCheap, Inc.. This is very recent for a supposedly genuine company.
It is currently hosted with the following nameservers: NS1.FREEDNSDEDI.COM, NS2.FREEDNSDEDI.COM. This may change if the website is shut down and they move hosters.
The only place you can find reviews for 420vapecarts.com is on their own website. This is part of the scam to convince you they are legit.
No, It is a delivery scam using legal or illegal drugs to bait you into sending money. You will lose any money you send.
We cannot find a phone number or address (please add in the comment section). Any address they use is fake and the phone number is a virtual phone number which redirects to their cell phone.
That is not an easy question to answer. Have a look at the payment methods on their website. They are as untraceable as possible. If you have paid very recently there is a possibility that you can cancel the transaction however they make it as difficult as possible for you to do this.

What do I do now?
These scams continue because they are not reported to the proper authorities. Sometimes, as the scam can appear quiet technical, you may have to convince the authorities that it is actually a scam and not a dispute.
The more people report these scams, the more chance they can be stopped.
If you have paid very recently it may be possible to cancel/reverse the transaction.
The most important thing you can do is report this scam.

DO NOT USE THESE GUYS, THIS IS A SCAM!!!!!!!!! First I paid by zelle. Then they ask you to take a picture of proof you paid by zelle. Then they send you a bootleg confirmation. Then they wait a day and you receive an email from a transportation company saying that because the package was labeled as discrete it has been placed on hold by customs. Then they send you another email saying that you have to pay 25 bucks extra for the insurance to avoid cops lol. At this point the customer service rep makes believe he doesn’t understand your situation and tells you to pay for the insurance. Once you write back and say you do not want the insurance they tell you they can not send the package. You are and never will receive a package even if you pay the 25 bucks. So I spent 200 on the product, 50 on overnight shipping and then they ask for 25 bucks. It’s a systematic scam. Mind you the emails and texts they send you consist of poor grammar. DO NOT USE THESE GUYS YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish I had seen this when I Googled 420vapcarts.com. I was totally scammed out of 185.00. When I asked for shipping info 2 days after payment, they told me that in needed insurance on the pkg at the cost of $200. They stopped texting me after a pasted a copy of one of the reviews in my texts. I am currently awaiting on the dispute with my bank for the payment on Zelle.
