Ah well...this time next year, I'll get my PPC card.

@JaXanim:

Oh, I'm not calling it quits. I will pursue this matter as far as possible. I'm just a little disappointed that I probably won't get to see the actual PPC card, but once AGAIN fight for my money back.

@Acill:

The DCE issue was slightly different as everyone did receive something, but the product of course didn't work on arrival, or it eventually died, however the DCE case could very well be much worse than what we are going through now, as both dealers and end-users went through a lot of trouble, vs only the end-users in this case right now.

Also, what is happening now looks like a straight theft, and in case of DCE...well...years and years of waiting and lies. Gosh, it boggles the mind to even think about it.

I got my money back only for the first fraud attempt (the UK case), however I am too late for the PayPal 30 day refund this time.

EDIT: Ah, you edited your comments flowman. :-)

@JaXanim:

I would be happy to share costs with you in regards to this matter. When we are done with this issue, perhaps you could estimate your total expenses for the time invested, for all the international calls, etc., and I could split those costs with you. Maybe others could chip in as well.

Let me know.

I am still confused. What is it that you got? The money that you sent actually arrived back?

I made you a new avatar in order to get your hopes slightly up, if possible. :-)

Didn't Flowman say that he spoke to Binder over the phone, and basically he found the right guy, who appologized for the mess, etc.? Or was that a practical joke by Flowman, or something?

@cgutjahr:

Hmmm...it seems that Binder was playing dumb in your conversation. His adress, e-mail address, name, etc. make him the perfect match. All that info is essentially the same in the PayPal account and Lemmink's newsletter, so it's 100% got to be him. It's impossible for someone to register a PayPal account and fake the address/banking info in it, and still be able to withdraw the money from the online credit amount. He is a liar.

At this point I think that this case should definitely be forwarded to German police as Bernd is simply f**king around with us.

EDIT: Give him another call and tell him that we will report him to the Police anyway because he is obviously lieing.

@Ilwrath:

OK, it makes sense. I didn't think of it like that, but, those people that mailed their payments to Mr. Binder mailed them to the very SAME address as in the PayPal account and the newsletter, and he also provided bank account information with the same name, address, and even bank account number, etc., to people that would potentially pay by wire transfer, and all that info also matches the PayPal and newsletter address. So in conclusion, although you did open my eyes to how PayPal frauds can be made, I am still not convinced that this is not actually Binder messing around with us.

On another note, it seems that there is some serious danger in online ordering in the Amiga community at this time, as this is the second time something like this has happened in a very short period of time, so obviously people should be very careful in the future, starting with me as I bit the bait twice. :-(

He advertised CSPPC also. Everything good basically in the accelerator world was there for both A1200 and A3000/A4000, including the CV/BVPPC graphic cards.

JaX, good work. Friday will officially be the last day for the card to arrive here in Canada, as the post office doesn't work on weekends. Well, looks like time to call the cops. :-)

Thomas Dellert: Gentlemen, let us salute to yet another successful, brilliant scheme! Gut, ja?
Bernd Binder: Come on Flowman, zake zi picture already.
Flowman: Eine Minuten, eine minuten!
