Alpha Technology Litecoin (Scrypt) ASIC Miner Order Batch 1 Now!

[vesperwillow]

Pending for months now (paypall and CC refund request). 

If you read back through this thread you should find some paypal dispute case #'s which had immediate refunds, and were being used by other folks to give to paypal customer service to show them that these cases aren't new, and it was helping folks gain refunds instantly.

I tried using the PayPal successful claim numbers several times without luck.  Each time I mentioned one, they just said they couldn't comment on other people's cases.  After a few tries they told me I would have to have my lawyer reach out to their lawyers via mail and gave me an address.

On October 27th, 2014 I filed a complaint with Fifth Third bank on my Debit Card.  After the Post Office, or so Fifth Third claims, lost my forms twice they finally got all the information the needed on December 4th.  On January 14th I got a letter saying they are unable to assist me.

I would keep pushing it. Alpha-Tech changed their official business name and address recently, December I believe. They also don't have lawyers, at least as has been reported.

They've also dropped off the map, and have broken their original contract. The original contract contained wording, even up until fall, that said you'd always be able to contact them via phone and drop into their physical location. They have officially retracted customer support entirely--including by phone, and no longer have a "physical" location.

PayPal, IMO, should be brought under laundering charges by supporting these fraudulent business practices. Afterall, they launched their own investigation back in May/June, and immediately suspended/cancelled their accounts with AlphaTec.

You need to reach senior management, the lower-level call support won't get the job done.

I got a letter from Action Fraud on Friday it said they have found sufficient viable lines of enquiry and have passed a report on to Greater Manchester Police for investigation.

I would suggest any Alpha customers contact Action Fraud or GMP directly and file a case as its pretty clear now that Alpha have done a bunk with your money and miners. You can only hope the long arm of the law catches up with them and they face financial ruin, prison or both.

[vesperwillow]

That's good news retro; good luck to all.

In the time since they claim to have been assembling and tweaking miners, until present day, they could've taped-out another batch of miners and shipped them. Yes folks, it's been almost 4 months.

It's been well beyond a month since their last update, which was a pittance of words in which they declared they were still piddling with solutions to their gear which they discovered prior to that.

For the first time in a year, they have broken their pattern of at least 1 update a month. They've also gone entirely silent on their own forum, and apparently stopped moderation. Some folks claim to have gone to their newly-filed physical address but it doesn't exist. Couple this with their attempts to sever all physical access and contact, as well as electronic, and you're left with few other speculative ideas ...

Great news, do you have a case number or reference number we can use when starting communicating with them? Also is there any e-mail address where these complaints can be send?

There are people here who also cheated with a return on contract mail c Mumbasherom I return 50% of the bag, and returned only 30% Paypal and stopped responding to emails.?

They are still moderating and deleting comments.  For instance... this comment will probably disappear soon:

It makes me so happy when my comment gets deleted on this forum, but you guys don't respect us enough to update us or refund us. You I'll say again: I asked you for a refund stating you broke contract. Your reply to me was: no you breached contract because you didn't pay us the full amount. Any reason for that? Any reason for telling me I haven't paid the rest of the money when you haven't even given a DATE YOU WILL SHIP?! YOU broke contract, not me. I was ready to pay. You are STILL NOT READY TO SHIP. WHAT THE LITERAL HELL IS GOING ON? Please delete this comment, too.

[OgNasty]

Judging from their last update, I thought they were close to shipping something.  The lack of communication from them is disappointing.

Particularly upsetting for folks involved in this mess because they were "close to shipping" in October of 2014.

And are now dead silent for well over a month.

[Oldminer]

These guys not in court yet?

Have to say, I dont feel sorry for anyone burnt by this mess. Pics were posted very early on of a boarded up shop (with an Alpha Tech sign out front) in the dark end of Manchester, with a couple of (illegal immigrant?) Indians very early on. I cant believe anyone invested with them after that.

As much as Alpha Tech and those associated with it deserve to be torn a new one over this whole fucking mess, please refrain from the use of casual racism. It is nothing more than ignorant tribalism.

These guys are assholes because of their actions, not because of the colour of their skin or the content of their passports.

True. Most Indians are exceptionally trustworthy. My bad. Not sure what I was thinking.  

[ninjaboon]

did anyone managed to do a chargeback if they paid by Paypal.?

[vesperwillow]

It's been about 51 days since the photo was taken of the infamous board hashing: https://alpha-t.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/IMG_20141219_1219081.jpg

Where's all the people who were saying they'd ship by October? There were a handful of them, praising Alpha. Maybe they have a board?

Maybe Alpha will have another update of delays soon?

[SaintRocketis]

Yes, but I did it through my credit card through PayPal and was able to get refunded through my credit card.  I initiated it back in July when they started deleting posts on this thread and the way they were treating customers on their forum.

I'm still breathing a sigh of relief that I didn't lose anything, especially since I didn't pay attention to the signs that this was way to risky to fork thousand$ over to these bozos.  Other victims who were not so lucky have my deepest sympathies.
