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.

@odin

None of the phone numbers we have collected seem useful.

It might be helpful to know who lives at the address we all sent our money to. And the Police would know where to go, and who to arrest, eh?

How do you find a 'semi-legal' site running a reverse address service in Germany?...? If anyone can figure this out, then please try to get some new info on this!

If we don't help ourselves, then nobody else will!

Right,

I had a check with my email. According to what he said his secretary is called Bernd Binder.

Quote from email:

"> Oh yeah, i also put your name down there as Roland Geiger.

I gave you 03. March the address - you have to send it to Bernd Binder,
our
secretary. What address you used?"

I put down Roland Geiger on the address, which was the name he used on Amibench. Luckily, he said he recieved it anyway. So how about checking Roland Geiger? :-D

Since it seems so easy to get money out of them, I thought I'd have a go :-D

That's just mean.

It'll probably be funny after a while, but right now it's a pretty cold comment.
I sold my Amiga for a small fortune, but a part of my soul went with it.

Hmmm, yeah. good point. :-(

But until they actually phone this guy and find out what's happening, it's still quite a funny situation... Ican't help thinking "The A.org Team".. now who wants to be BA? :-)

This is getting stupid!

Are you now saying that Bernd Binder is not the name of the seller?

Why the Hell am I calling Germany for Bernd Binder if he's not the person we want..?...!

I've managed to contact the Albstadt Amiga Club and they've never heard of Bernd Binder!

Who does everyone think we are looking for?

Bernd Binder is the name he gave me in the beginning.

Regards

Bernd

is how he ends all his emails to me.
But, there are the names "Roland Geiger" and "Tibor Tóth", that need some researching into.

Just to say "Roland Geiger" was the name given to search for these cards on Amibench in the first post of this thread.


Good luck sorting this situation out.

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? :)

@punkpie

It's not surprising this thread has impacted on Google. If this farcical show runs for much longer we'll get listed as the Bernd Binder Research Society!

Laugh..? I'm almost crying...!

I think in the general text attachment that was sent to us it says there were various people from the group replying to mails...

So, should we start thinking about what are we going to do?
European union consumer protection (if it it even exists, maybe german..) or police or what? Just the ones I remember right now...
