@All Concerned
This is to let everyone know that the letter detailing all the events so far is ready to go to the Police in Albstadt.
I have made a listing of who sent money to Binder, the card you ordered and the amount you paid. Your name and address, phone number and email details (where provided to me) are included.
This letter will be sent on Monday next (3 May 2004), assuming the goods do not arrive this weekend (don't hold breath please!)
@Flowman
Your lack of help in providing your contact number for Binder is noted. It would have been useful to include it in the letter, especially if it is different from the one I have. But fear not, we have at least one phone number which gets to him, helpfully confirmed by cgutjahr (many thanks).
You said you planned on talking to Binder again, before the letter goes to the Police. I ernestly suggest you get on with this pretty damned quick and tell us all of the outcome on this thread. I dare say Binder is pretty well aware of the situation and doubt that any further discussion with him will alter the position one bit.
People have said how surprised they are at what he seems to have done. Binder seems to be fairly well known in German Amiga circles and one or two people say they can't believe he'd scam anyone. Well, maybe he had a brainstorm when he saw what others have done recently (scam PPC ads, etc).
Maybe he did something totally out of character and maybe he didn't. All I know is he has acted here in a completely illegal and fraudulent way. He has taken well over 2,000 Euros from us and sent us nothing. No cards, no receipts, no explanation. Who knows how many other people are awaiting stuff? Not everybody who uses AmiBench spends their time at Aorg. It could be double the number here.
Anyway, that's what will happen.
Cheers,
JaX
