I was originally thinking it might be that. I was still *very* up in the air about sending payment when I agreed to buy the drives. I wanted to see what the arrangement would be. probably should have made that acceptance email a bit less provocative with the word scammer, if I was wanting to draw out a scammer.... but see... that last reply really threw me. A scammer would take whatever they could get. something is very very weird, and very very wrong. not just from a general customer service point of view, but especially weird compared to my last transaction with them the other month.... jammie wrote: > i will contact jd personally as he only does paypal > > it sounds like you have been intercepted by scam mail have you told jd himself about this > > i am in touch with jd personally every day as we are designing new scsi to cf flash boards > ----- Original Message ----- > From: mr julian > To: emax@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 5:27 AM > Subject: [emax] WARNING: scsiforsamplers.com > > > > 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.
