Anyone receive items from amiga.org member pan1k?

Hey all,

A continuation of this thread.

If anyone else hasn't received items they paid for, or otherwise has anything to add, this would be a good place to do it. :-)

Like I said on the other page, i'm in socal, Let me know if I need to follow up with this deadbeat.

Thanks man. :pint:

Fortunately, I only have the potential to get burned on a $25 A1200 case. No great loss, but it's the principle that matters. That, and the other amiga.org guys who may be getting gypped. :madashell:

I'll likely shoot over the info I have via pmail, but please don't feel obligated to do anything yet, or at all! (The offer alone is pure class, and I appreciate that.) I may hop on the bike and cruise down myself in a few weeks. Heh, it would make a nice weekend ride. I love the desert. (Question being, how much of a fight will my g/f put up before letting me go for an _entire_ weekend, LOL.)

Well, if he's truly injured... that's one thing, and hopefully he isn't!

We'll give it a bit more time yet before guru-666 and I come a knockin'. ;-)

If anyone hears from him, please leave an update here.

cheers

This might be pan1k's Amiga (although striped) on craigslist...

It is!

And check this out... while I was surfing the Monterey Park city website, I just happened to stumble upon this address by accident...

Mark Keppel High School    (626) 572-2242
501 E. Hellman Avenue    
Alhambra, CA 91801    
Principal:  Mr. Russell Yamanaka

It's the same address he gave me to send his case to, except addressed to "Chris Chapman" instead of the school.

So that likely means this guy is a teacher (or student) at Mark Keppel HS.

I'll call them tomorrow. They may find it interesting to know that their address is being used for the purposes of an internet scam. :-)

Interesting...

adolescent I owe you a :pint:

Thanks man!

(--edited grammar--)

OK,

I spoke with a very friendly woman in the Dean's office, she is going to pass the information along. I basically gave them a courtesy call, in the event their address is mentioned in a police report or something to that effect. They're going to do what they can, and if I hear anything else, I'll let you guys know.

Maybe this will rattle his cage enough to send out the goods he has been payed for.

Anyone get their things yet?

I haven't heard back from the school.

I did notice an Amibench FS advert from someone named "Retro68k" in Monterey Park, dunno whether it's him or not, but I'd suggest caution...

I'm not a scammer. All of my missed ebay attempts after my injury have been paid back. Yeah life is crazy for me sometimes...i dont even have access to the internet sometimes.. but you will always get what you ordered. Sometimes life is crazy with 2 jobs and school. Especially when I deal with a retarded company who mixes up my packages and doesn't call me when they come back. Mark my words everyone who is due something from me will get their package. -D- I will call you next week. Been working to save money here the owner of my place is selling in 5 months so i've been working to get the fsck outta here and trying to do college at the same time.

Sorry for any stress or hardship i've caused, but sometimes my days are 20 hours long. Hope you guys understand.

Thanks for responding. Sounds like times have been rough, and I'm sorry to hear that. (I imagine most of us have been there at least once, I know I have.) If you need a few bones to help get everything shipped out let me know.

[Damion]

Yeah, everything OK on my end.

Here's to water under the bridge...
