What visitors are saying
“Great service. Hardworking people. I don’t know what the other reviews are talking about. I think some competing business is paying for fake reviews. People complaining about stolen EBT when this place is a smoke shop. They legally cannot get access to EBT. 75% of items have to be food in a store to take EBT.”

“They took 280$ of my ebt card two different charges this is ridiculous they lucky I don’t pop up to the store and ransack it because I do in fact live in New York however I never been here a day in my life. not sure how they got my card information will be calling the authorities and fraud number to report this I already filed a claim! These people deserve to be shut down ! I even called the store and the man was really nasty and said NO EBT and sent me to voicemail after he rudely hung up. These people need to go to hell”

“My ebt card was also fraudulently accessed on 1/27/23. Took 180.34 and left me with .56 Found out the phone number and called. Man was rude and told me I was wasting his time. Such a loss for me. Why isn't something done about this? I live in a different state and this is theft and fraud.*This transaction was manually entered. This is NOT a lie as suggested by the owners comment. The DHS is being contacted on MI. This store must be stopped!”

“I would never have known about this cesspool of a store, but some sorry excuse for a human being decided they would drain my EBT card of ALL my funds. I live in California, but clearly location makes no difference to these criminals. Every one of you who have experienced this low life scam should file a police report where you live and also with the New York police so that someone will be held accountable and this filthy hole in the wall can get shut down for good. And whoever it is that responds to the reviews on behalf of this business, if you were not responsible for all of this you would ”

“I live in VA they let someone come in the store and use my card without the physical card (fraud) a random person. I do not know the person or how they got my information. Then I proceeded to tell the guy and he hung up on me & turned the phone off. They are rude, unprofessional, and committing food stamp fraud every day. They should be locked up and there business license taken away.”

“This is definately a ripoff for EBT. I am in contact with a DEA/ATF investigator in connection with the "company". I was told by the DHHS that they are already setting up survellience. These are the people we let into our country and they have already committed crimes in their own and flee just to do the same here. They involve entire families in this fraud practice.”

“I just experienced the same thing that someone else experience I live in Charlotte North Carolina and a charge came from this very store. They took $424 from me and I called the store and they keep hanging up the phone on me so I had to get the police involved in this matter that’s $424 in EBT knowing that they take EBT because I call different stores around and they say they take it and I don’t understand why they can continue to steal someone’s information and think it’s OK so when they say that somebody is lying about their store, nobody is lying because this is personal number two. I see a”

“if i could give this place negative stars i would. i’m pretty sure they buy fakes and sell it as it being the real thing and when you go back to let them know that you want a replacement after LESS THAN 24 HOURS they try to sell you something else for “$10” like it’s a better deal for me and as if they’re doing me a favor…? when you call them out they get mad because they know they’re a bunch of scammers.
