Several PPC cards on Amibench

[JaXanim]

I just called Bernd Binder No.2 and he's not our man either. This one's an architect with no interest in the Amiga or Ebay.

He did say that there are 'many' Bernd Binders in Albstadt, though I can see only the two in the online directory. He was aware of one in the Taelsfingen (?) area of the city.

If anyone thinks they have 'our' Bernd Binder's phone number, please PM it to me and I will have another go.

Cheers,

JaX

Doesn't it give the house number or street name on the online directory?

[preacher]

Think it is Heusteigstr. 35

[guest1955]

preacher; do you not think you should edit his address out. It's a little unfair on the guy if he is innocent.

[NightShade737]

Preacher: Jax already has his address, as if you notice his post, he is looking for them in that particular city.

@tangletown

True, my mistake. I changed to the street address instead. Thanks for pointing that out.

I replied with his street address, to help narrow the search
in the online directory. So, oviously, Jax didn't have his address.

Either way, I'm just eager to help in any way I can.

[NightShade737]

No, my point was, he obviously has his address (Why would he have the city but not the rest?), but he is targetting everyone by that name in that city, which makes me think that the online directory doesn't have the full address (e.g. no Street and number) so he can't match it exactly.

[preacher]

I just assumed that it's easier to find out what city he lives in, rather than the whole address. Ok, maybe I missed you point, but let's stop our little discussion right here and focus on what's important.

Preacher

OK guys, this is how it is from my standpoint.

I have the same address everyone else has. That's where we sent the money. The online phone directory does give the street addresses, but 'ours' isn't there under Bernd Binder. However, someone here posted that Binder's secretary received the cash, so that address isn't of any use, OK. BTW, whoever posted that info, how did you get it?

So, I've just called the phone/fax number PM'd to me by x56h34. Unfortunately, this isn't recognised! I tried it umpteen times.

@ x56h34
What's the 'Handy' number? Looks like a mobile, which I'm reluctant to call because of the likely cost.

So, at this stage we're back to square one.

Earlier I posted a URL showing all the Amiga clubs in Albstadt. Did anyone follow up on that? ....No..?

I tried emailing one of the sectretaries, but that bounced. I think we should all take another look at this route. There should be at least one of those clubs still running, 'cos Mr Binder is said (again by someone on this list) to be a member of an Amiga Club.

If anyone knows exactly which club is involved, please post it here so we can send some emails.

@Lemmink

I understand from x56h34 that you have some info on this.
Is Lemmink following this thread? If not, could a Mod alert him please?

[EDIT: I just PMd Lemmink myself, cheers.]

Cheers,

JaX

[x56h34]

Handy probably means mobile, but my guess is as good as yours. :-)

Lemmink sent me a scan of a page from Bernd's Amiga related newsletter which was dated way back to 2001. That's how I got the phone numbers. I am pretty sure that that's all the info that Lemmink has about Bernd.

Oh dear, this doesn't sound good :-(. Isn't there a reverse lookup database of the German phone dictionary? In NL there's a semi-illegal site where you search solely by address or by phone number and lookup the corresponding name.
:nervous:

Oh and 'handy' is indeed German for 'cellphone'.

Hi all. I fell in the obligation to tell you...
I made a Paypal complaint, wich as you know can last for 30 days or more, but it resumes and the seller is found guilty after 7 days if he doesn't respond. All he has to do is put some answer in a webform. But he has to provide evidence that he shipped the item, like insurance and tracking nr. or whatever.
In one of the mails he sent me he confirmed that he had insured the item ( I asked if he had).

Now can you believe that he let the 7 days pass without saying anything? Paypal automatically recovered around 5 Euros for me dohhhhh:(
I even mailed him when I made the complaint explaining that all I wanted was to be sure he had the cards and that all he had to do was send the tracking nr. to me, or Paypal.
Maybe it wasn't the best choice on my part, but it's done.
And if he had sent the cards, what difficulty would exist in mailing me the insurance form, or the tracking nr.?

Maybe we'll receive the cards in the end, but somethings not right in here. I think we should gather info of all the people who ordered and paid cards to this guy, and act as a group, cause that will have more impact (if any).
But I still think we should send him a mail informing of this and asking for some explanation (as a group). I've already asked for that individually.
Just my opinion. What do you think?

P.S. I'm not as much on the net as some of you, and might take more time reply to this forum....

Assuming 'kralle900' is indeed Mr Binder's Ebay ID, he hasn't responded to my message sent via the Ebay system.

I couldn't really understand how this ID was picked up, but 'kralle900' is certainly located in Albstadt, so it looks pretty convincing. And he's selling Amiga stuff, which fits even better.

Anyway, I suggest that EVERYONE who's sent Mr Binder money for goods not received should mail him via the Ebay messager service and hope he responds to at least one of them.

As I said earlier, 'kralle900' is very active on Ebay at this moment, so it's worth a shot.

[EDIT: Maybe (?) we should tell him that the Police will be contacted if this situation isn't resolved pretty soon. What do you all think about this?]

[Jose]

Maybe we could get someone from Germany to pick up the cards, anyone reading that could do that?

[odin]

If it were in North-West Germany I'd be happy to hop over the border in a train. Unfortunately it's all the way down south, near Strassbourg.
