Meanwhile at DCE, Germany...



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!

[x56h34]

I don't know. :-)
I think it could be Flowman. ;-)

EDIT: No wait, Flowman is taking the picture, so it's definitely not him. :lol:

@Flowman:

It seems that he sent the same looking e-mail to everyone (copy & paste) 10 minutes after finishing the phone conversation with you. I believe that this makes it IMPOSSIBLE that he already went to the post office and mailed the receipts to us within those 10 minutes. Anyway, I don't care...it's just another one of his lies, and I don't want to bother anymore with seeking clues and figuring out the mind of Bernd Binder. All that matters now is contacting the police and forcing him to returning our money back.

[x56h34]

It really doesn't matter from Binder's point of view if this Police reporting business forces him to return the $$$ or not, but if we do report him we have a chance of creating an official police record, which I can only HOPE will affect what ever he tries to do for the rest of his life involving jobs, investments, money, loans, credits, etc.

Oh brother. No cards and one receipt. :lol:
The fact remains that none of us all over the world received a single card, so this is still 99.9% rated as a scam, in my book.

What a way to scam people.

Seller: Sorry...hospital...
Buyer: Where is my stuff!?!?!?
Seller: Sorry...hospital...
Buyer: Where is my stuff!?!?!?
Seller: Sorry...hospital...

Seller: Sorry...hospital...

etc...

Another update.

I got back home from work today, and behold...no not the PPC card, but the receipt has arrived. :lol:

Anyways, here's the deal. According to the receipt, the package was sent on April 5, 2004. Bernd said that the item was shipped on March 3, 2004. So even if this receipt is genuine and the parcel is real, his shipping date is about a month too late. So my point is, even if he has sent me something, it's been delayed by him for a month before actually sending it.

There is a tracking number on this receipt as well, my name written in hand, and a website which you can use to track the package with. It's http://www.deutschepost.de/briefstatus. I've looked up the tracking number in the system and I got a message which translates to something like this: "The transmission was handed over to 5.5.2004 to the international letter center for reforwarding abroad.". So I guess the next day, this international letter center got the shipment, but then what happened? I don't know. That's all it says.

BTW, the envelope in which the receipt was sent has got a stamp with a date that says "May 20, 2004". It was sent to me only 2 days ago, heh. I can believe this as the stamps on the envelope add up to 5.50EUR in total, so this was a very fast letter shipment, I would assume.

OK, so it seems that something is in the mail for me...but where is it? Why haven't I received it? :-?

What does everyone think?

@punkpie:

It doesn't say how much it cost to send it anywhere on the receipt. Where does it say on yours?

[x56h34]

It doesn't say anything, unfortunately.

[x56h34]

I agree with preacher. These receipts could be phony (they most likely are) and the tracking numbers on them do not provide any useful info at all. I mean the receipts may be genuine, but they do not provide enough proof that they represent OUR packages and not some misc. stuff (previously delivered to someone else, and unrelated to our problem here) which Binder is trying to use to deceive us even further.

The fact that preacher's tracking indicated that the package was shipped to an entirely different country gives you a good enough reason, IMHO, that this is a scam. I mean how likely is it that postal office sent a package to an entirely different country, by mistake?

[x56h34]

@odin:

And this officially makes me totally confused. :-?

At this point, it kind of seems possible that he was late on sending our cards, plus he used surface mail which takes months to get delivered, but I am still 90% in "I got scammed!" mode. :-(

[x56h34]

Well, as long as we are guessing :-), how about this theory.
Since he is often in the hospital, maybe he needed the money to fund something, like an operation, and thus scammed us to get some badly needed funds? :-?

[x56h34]

@CU_AMiGA:

If you go to that page, and click on the link that says "Sendungsstatus" and afterwards enter the tracking number and date on the receipt, you'll get a message that says (translated to English):

The transmission was handed over to 19.5.2004 to the international letter center for reforwarding abroad.

The usual message, it seems. It only gives you a bit more hope, since the date is May 19, which isn't bad, assuming that Binder actually sent something to you on May 19.

[x56h34]

The receipts are phony, no doubt about it. He must have used our names as reference to something entirely different, which was actually sent to other countries, but it sure wasn't the non-existing ppc cards.

Example:

He goes to postal office and sends a package to Sweden for let's say some music CDs, and in the comments/reference section he puts "Jose - PPC" and then sends THAT receipt to you when you complain about not receiving anything. He makes himself look like he actually sent the package to you, but it's all a reference section trick.

I can only hope that Police could do something about this.
