CD2U cigarette oder taken; check cashed... NO cigarettes, Internet

I have heard rumors that the ATF has already started contacting some of the customers of this company who received shipments in the past, and they are presenting them tax bills for the tobacco sales taxes that were unpaid

If I were you, I would not contact ATF to try to get a refund, especially if you have ordered cigs from this company, and have received them.  You might get a big fat tax bill for your trouble!!!

Does anyone have any idea if our personel info is going to be compromised? In other words, are we going to be hit with tax bills?

It's not about sales tax-it's about the EXCISE TAX that NY puts on each pack of cigarettes.

Further, some time ago NY enacted legislation (forget the federal law) so that it IS CRIMINAL to avoid paying the excise tax, unless you are a native american (and can prove it.)

In fact, if you check the NYS laws, if you are NOT a native american it is an offense to be IN POSSESSION of any cigarettes that DO NOT have the NYS EXCISE TAX STAMP on them (unless there is an excise tax stamp from another state.)

attempting to avoid sales tax? you bet! and nothing illegal about it. goods are sold across state lines every day, and unless the retailer has a business address within the state to which the goods are shipped, sales tax is NOT due. -- and purchasing five cartons of cigarettes once a month would NOT be a profitable RESALE business.   

You were buying tobacco products over the internet trying to curcumvent paying your State and Local taxes.. You were in fact committing a Felony by trying to get away without paying your taxes on tobacco.. Consider it a cheap lesson. BATF puts people in Prison for that. BATF has an ongoing investigation concerning Internet sales of Tobacco products that cross state lines. Most of these companies buy them Duty Free or from Indian Reservations, and resale them to the public. Also Illegal.
