Copycat and scam sites are common in this market. Before you pay any online store, check these eight things.
- The address bar Type the store's address yourself or use a bookmark. Copycat sites use names that differ by one letter, a dash or the ending (.com, .ca, .co).
- An age check A real store asks your date of birth before you order.
- Health warnings Responsible stores show tobacco health warnings and quit-help numbers.
- Clear prices The pack, carton and shipping prices should be the same on every page and in the cart, before you pay.
- Who you are paying For an Interac e-Transfer, the store should give you a business email address and an order number to put in the message. Be careful with personal email addresses.
- Tracking You should get a Canada Post tracking number when your order ships.
- Real reviews Look for reviews from verified orders, on the store and on independent review sites, including the bad ones and how the store replied.
- A way to reach them An email address, help pages and an order status page, so you can follow up if something goes wrong.

Questions
How do I spot a copycat site?
Check the exact address in the address bar, and that the payment email belongs to the store's own domain.
Is the native-smokes.com address the only one you use?
Yes. Our store is native-smokes.com, with a dash, and our emails come from @native-smokes.com.
