I dont think the police will do a thing. When I contacted them about DCE I got one email telling me they will investigate then noting any more from them. When I talked to a lawer about it I was told that I was out of luck basicly unless I flew to germany to talk to a german lawer. I wasnt about to try that for a $1000 accelerator card.

Good luck to all of you still!

I just won an auction on EBay by kralle900. It's getting weird:
------------------------------------------
Rekeninghouder: Rene Nandke
Bankrekeningnummer: XXXXXXXX
ID-code bank: XXXXXXXXX
Naam bank: Postbank München
De verkoper zegt:
Kontoinhaber und ebay-Mitgliedsname sind nicht identisch - aber das ist in Ordnung.
-------------------------------------------
The last bit says that the EBay-membername and the accountholder's names are different. And that it is okay...

I requested the contact details of 'kralle900' from EBay, and that's our Mr. Toth:


-------------------------------------------
Gebruikersnaam:    kralle900
Naam:    Karoly Tóth
Bedrijf:    
Plaats:   Albstadt
Adres:  
Land:   Deutschland
Postcode:   72461
-------------------------------------------

No phone number or address given.....

:-?

For what it's worth, I haven't received anything from this Mr. Toth either.

He emailed me the 13th saying he was in hospital untill the weeked and that he would send the stuff then.

(Note this is not about PPC cards).

What a way to scam people.

Buyer: Where is my stuff!?!?!?
Seller: Sorry...hospital...
Buyer: Where is my stuff!?!?!?
Seller: Sorry...hospital...
Buyer: Where is my stuff!?!?!?
Seller: Sorry...hospital...
Buyer: Where is my stuff!?!?!?
Seller: Sorry...hospital...
Buyer: Where is my stuff!?!?!?
Seller: Sorry...hospital...

etc...

The funny thing is that kralle900's feedback on EBay is quite reasonable...

Another update.

I got back home from work today, and behold...no not the PPC card, but the receipt has arrived. :lol:

Anyways, here's the deal. According to the receipt, the package was sent on April 5, 2004. Bernd said that the item was shipped on March 3, 2004. So even if this receipt is genuine and the parcel is real, his shipping date is about a month too late. So my point is, even if he has sent me something, it's been delayed by him for a month before actually sending it.

There is a tracking number on this receipt as well, my name written in hand, and a website which you can use to track the package with. It's http://www.deutschepost.de/briefstatus. I've looked up the tracking number in the system and I got a message which translates to something like this: "The transmission was handed over to 5.5.2004 to the international letter center for reforwarding abroad.". So I guess the next day, this international letter center got the shipment, but then what happened? I don't know. That's all it says.

BTW, the envelope in which the receipt was sent has got a stamp with a date that says "May 20, 2004". It was sent to me only 2 days ago, heh. I can believe this as the stamps on the envelope add up to 5.50EUR in total, so this was a very fast letter shipment, I would assume.

OK, so it seems that something is in the mail for me...but where is it? Why haven't I received it? :-?

What does everyone think?

I still think we're screwed. I haven't received either yet and I live next to Germany. I have ordered stuff from companies in Germany that took about a week to receive me.

It's all taking way to long.

Good morning all.  I just got a knock at the door (at 9 am on a saturday morning I may add ;)) and, low and behold, my receipt has arrived.

Doing a quick check on the status page I get a different message to the last 2 people that checked.

"The transmission became to 27.4.2004 in the post office branch Poststr. 30, 72458 Albstadt in-supplied. Unfortunately no further information could be found to this transmission."

Bugger.  Or am I looking in the wrong place?

The receipt states the card was sent on the 27th April, not March.  I think these cards were sent a lot longer after he said.  The date stamp on the receipt also states it was sent on 17-05-2004.  This is getting weirder.

Also how much did it state on the receipt on your receipts the cost for mailing was?  Mine says 2,05 EUR.  That's not a very large ammount for internationally mailing a parcel. Maybe that has something to do with it?!

One last thing.  Why the hell was I charged 11GBP for mailing when he only spend 2,05 EUR on it.  Anyone with a knowledge will know thats a considerable difference.

I do still believe these cards were sent.  But I still think it has something to do with the parcel service used and the fact he sent them after he said he had.

If shipping was really only 2,05 EUR he didn`t send it as a pacel but as a Europe Maxiletter. This will explain the limmited tracking possibilities and the card would be packed in a very slim cardbox the Deutsche Post has to offer. I have such a cardbox here and theoretical a PPCcard could fit in there, but the chances it would survive the delivery would be very slim.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

Well, if he did that with our cards then I'll bet they were allready dead when he sent them. Why else should you use such a rediculous sending method.

I still think we're screwed. These receipts mean absolutely nothing to me. He could have had help from someone at the postal service. And from the news I saw a few months ago, this isn't at all that unlikely.

And I also still don't have a receipt.

That doesn't sound good :(
Can you send a maxletter outside of Europe?  I noticed x56h34 was in Canada.

@x56h34
How much did it say yours was to send?

Interesting considering he was charging 11 euros for shipping...
