OK... before I write any thing else, I need to explain myself that any 
more that two days ago, I would have been really surprised by this 
thread, had anyone else posted it.

I'd bought things from scsiforsamplers.com once before, and despite 
their high prices, I believed they provided a simple usable service that 
was actually worth the markup they made, and that this was supported by 
all the positive feedback and goodwill they have on the net....

as of today, I'm left with a few options to chose between:
1) scsiforsamplers.com is a very unethical company
2) "JD" has some serious things going on in his life that are causing 
professional problems. (if indeed "JD" is an actual person, and not a 
front identity run by other people - ie a net-puppet with someone else's 
hairy arm up his bum, as suggested in some of his emails)
3) some combination of the above.
4) their domain has been hijacked by scammers.

Either way, I feel it fair to warn anyone thinking of using their 
services right now to be VERY careful. Especially if they are trying to 
get you to not use paypal, and instead send them payment by western 
union or moneygram, as they tried to force me to do yesterday (after 
they refunded my payment I had already made via paypal, to their exact 
instructions, and had paid just as i had done successfully for a 
purchase one month ago)

all I can say about this transaction is I'm happy that I lost no money 
to this stupidity (paypal refund seems to return the entire charge 
amount to you, rather than chopping out their transaction fee in putting 
money into your bank account, as I was worried they would)

if anyone has any suggestions as to what is going on here, or successful 
no-problem transactions in the last 2 days, I'd love to hear it.




I don't really like doing this, but I've posted our email discussion 
as-is (minus my actual shipping details and phone number) just so anyone 
looking to deal with this company can see for themselves what just 
happened in the last 36 hours, and can make up their own mind if this is 
a company they'd like to deal with right now.

I figured a link to this same issue on a forum instead of this mailing 
list is a better way for people to read our entire email exchange, if 
they care to....
