Keep annoying him?  If we keep sending email he has to reply to at least one at some point.  I hope.

We could ask him for some sort of proof of postage?  If at all possible.

Also, has anyone here actually seen a photo of any of the cards he has? :-?

I really do think we should wait a bit longer.  It simply could be the s**t postage coming out of Germany that's causing the delays.  Someone also mentioned that he goes in and out of hospital regularly.  Maybe he's just in there at the moment as is unable to reply to emails.  I'd be interested in hearing the outcome of a phone call though...

I know it's frustrating because I really want my card too but lets hang on a bit. :)

There's no reason why a list cant be compiled though just in case it is fraud... Mine's a Blizzard 210/060 w. 64mb.

Er... Plan B... Does anyone know anyone who lives anywhere near him?  Or perhaps can speak German and get a better discussion out of him on the phone than we can?

How about contacting the postal service he used to see if we can any information about the packages?  For all we know they could be stuck in some sort of customs service "ready to me looked over" or something.  Stranger things have happened ;)

I sent him yet another email telling him that I'm now getting worried.  No reply as yet.  ~sigh~

OK, I originally started this thread so I'll try to explain what happened with me. :)

The amibench advert was posted by a guy named Roland Geiger under th email ttami... (I'm not posting the whole thing).  But when you actually send an email to his email address it was answered by a man calling himself kralle.

After several emails he told me that his nick was Kralle and that his real name was Bernd Binder.  I thought nothing of it and started calling him Bernd from then on.

After a few more emails, regarding how to pay, I came to the conclusion (as many others here had at the time) that it seems too real to be a scam.  I even got several methods of paying out of him including his bank account details to set up a transfer.  I also made a mistake in my calculation and was about to pay him £20 extra and he corrected me!

Anyone else here have similar conversations with him?

Tibor Tóth, on the other hand, I'm a little unsure about.  It seems to be related to the email address he's using (the TT part).

Someone else mentioned here that Bernd is there secretary.  Who is he secretary too?


Lee

P.S. Has anyone else noticed if you do a google search for "bernd binder amiga" you get this thread? :)

@cgutjahr

At last!  Some good news!  I think we need some of that.

Is it possible if you could find out if anyone knows Tibor Tóth and/or Roland Geiger too?  Maybe we could trace it back to them.

Thanks.

Sent you the email.  Thanks for you help.

Sorry, I was out last night so I've sent it first thing this morning.

I hope you're right about the postage delays.  Next time I buy anything for the EU I'm going to ask for a better postal service ;)

He doesn't say if there is a tracking number does he?  It just says that he sent the actual reciept (proof of postage) to us all.

Put it this way, at least we actually have his phone number.  Things are actually looking up.

:D

@JaXanim:

Yeah, I'll chip in.  Just work it out and let us know.  You've done a lot of work on our behalfs so it's only right that we re-pay you in some way.

Cheers.

I'm still totally confused by this whole issue.  Why did he even bother sending us all an email if he had run off with the money? Why did he claim in a phone call made that he sent the cards and is "sorry" and yet in another call claims he doesn't know what we are talking about?

If this is fraud it is the most bizzard case I've ever heard of.

I can't believe he's cancelled the email address.  It's pathetic really.
