Okay, I read the whole thread now (phew...) and Lemmink gave me a few additional hints (thanks).

I don't think you've been scammed - some of you seem to be overly optimistic (and I'm saying it mildly ;-)) regarding shipping delays - at least not by Bernd Binder himself (the info Lemmink supplied would suggest that the guy is a reliable seller). If this is a scam, somebody probably abused Binder's reputation, but my personal theory is that the seller is simply ignoring you because he sent the stuff and doesn't want to deal with {bleep}loads of very nervous people :-P.

Lemmink supplied me with phone numbers for Bernd Binder that were printed in a newsletter released in December 2003. I'll start by calling these numbers later this evening - I hope their still valid.

In the meantime, you could supple me with all the info you have about all the persons involved (Bernd Binder, Roland Geiger, Tibor Toth - did I miss somebody?). I need the following details for each person (if available):

Full name
e-mail
postal address
phone number

Please only supply info that was given to you by the guys in question, not stuff you investigated yourself.

Additionally, I need to know who recieved the money (Roland, Bernd or Tibor) and who promised to send the stuff (Bernd, it seems?).

If I reach Bernd, I'll ask him for the status of your cards. I tried to collect the information from this thread, but that's useless, as nobody seems to include his real name in his profile. Therefore, please let me know:

- your real name
- the product you ordered
- the amount you paid (preferably in EUR)

You can post the information here, send me a PM or email me (I prefer email over PM)

Your help is much appreciated. Let's hope this sorry situation has a simple answer!

I have sent you an email with all the information I have received directly from the people involved in Germany.

I suggest EVERYONE with a financial interest in this problem sends their information to cgutjahr TONIGHT!

Cheers and thanks,

JaX
Be inspired! It\\\'s back!

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 ;)

Checkl you email. Thanks again for the help.

I think that someone else could be Bernd Binder / Roland Geiger. He said his secretary is Bernd Binder, the Roland Geiger name is the name he used on Amibench. As for Tibor Toth, i wouldn't worry about that, as that seems to be his nick name.

I think that someone else is pretending to be Bernd Binder, a SCAM! :pissed:

Hmmm...but if with a direct bank transfer the name/address/number don't match up, it will not be carried out. Or will it?

Jose: BlizzardPPC 240/060 + SCSI - 300€
NightShade737: CyberstormPPC 233/060 + UWSCSI + 128MB RAM - £290
JaXanim: BlizzardPPC 240/060 - £156
CU_AMiGA: BlizzardPPC 240/060 - £160
punkpie: BlizzardPPC 210/060 + 64MB ram - £160
tangletown: BlizzardPPC 210/060 + 128Mb Ram - £176

Total:
BlizzardPPC 240/060 + SCSI = 2
BlizzardPPC 240/060 = 4
BlizzardPPC 210/060 = 2

And i sent the money to bernd binder with wertern union. So only the guy with right id can pick up the money.. But then the post office can screw things up and dont check id.

And have anyone got any replies lately on the mail sent to him ?

Cheers! :pint:

Okay. I think if everyone continues to give their information to cgutjahr then we should have enough to put something into action within the next couple of days.

Flowman: Never use Western Union for anything. You have as much comeback on it as sending money through the post, which is nothing. It's normally the Payment methods scammers on eBay use aswell.

@All

More updates. I received another e-mail from Bernd. Here's what is says:

Quote
I sent today the receipt from the German post for the ppc board to you (in an
registered letter) - I don't know if you got the board yet, but I sent it to
all buyers, because some didn't get it yet. It's easier to me in this way,
because I'm all the time on the road (trucker).
If you didn't get it, go please with that receipt to your post and the will
look what's happened.


What do you guys make of this? Shouldn't HE be the one going to the post office with the receipt and checking out why the package never showed up? Anyway, let's see if I receive that receipt.

I think indeed that if you show up with a receipt from Deutsche Post at an office of the Canadian postal services, the guy/gal behind the counter will give you a very naff look....

PayPal is no better, my friend.  I was out a few hundred bucks after a similiar situation with a Mr. R. Waters (Who people still swear used to be a good vendor, too.)  In my case, PayPal even ruled in my favor.  Said that indeed, I was frauded.  Said they were unable to collect any money in return for me, though, so I was screwed.  Gee, thanks.  Glad I had them on the case.  Duh....

Ah...clever jackass! His next move will of course be that he can't go to check at the postoffice himself, 'cause he sent the receipt to you. And thus he can claim to have sent both the cards and the receipt, so he can haul time even more. My personal opinion.

If he wasn't hiding anything, why didn't he give you the tracking nr. or a photo/scan of the receipt?
