I've noticed an increasing amount of spam traffic and fake account sign ups under my email. I'm curious to know if anyone else received similar traffic. Wondering if Alpha or their diehard minions are implementing dirty tactics because of my reporting them to authorities for fraud?

I fail to see how they said the foundry said the CHIPS performed better than expected when they don't have any chips?
Did Andrew Laurus do a runner with the cash?
That is the answer to all questions. Why is that person involved with this company? and how does that relate to offering customers 30% of profits only which there will be none. I'm wondering if Laurus run a mining farm that maybe he took all the good chips for himself? Alpha's new shareholder, Andrew Laurus is interesting. PHOENIX ASIC LIMITED 08734450
Registered Address: 5 Jupiter House, Calleva Park, Aldermaston, Reading, Berkshire, RG7 8NN
He was one of their directors for a day. http://companycheck.co.uk/company/08734450/PHOENIX-ASIC-LIMITED/directors-secretaries#people-summaryPhoenix definition : a person or thing that has become renewed or restored after suffering calamity or apparent annihilation. Sounds about right. |

Alpha don't have a legal leg to stand on.
They don't need one unless they end up in court. |

Im a bit confused, if they still somehow manage to deliver if I should accept or reject the delivery. In Sweden VAT would be around 20% of the the £5450..... Have been asking for refund with no success.. Seems they gone underground after Fiat left... |

one guy got a chargeback from discover
Just wondering perhaps it is too soon but looking like the only ones so far who have managed a FULL refund after the alpha
self imposed grace period over (last spring refunds) ..is thru various cc options...and that seems require a LOT of explaining to get even the alpha $$$
back even via cc method...in that from my point of view when it did reply on my first dispute ..the invoice looked like I paid for a completed
product...not 30% down on vaporware..what was sent to amex anyway
That was me, and it didn't take a lot of explaining, one call to Discover which took about 3 minutes to explain the situation and I got a full refund of the deposit. I urge everyone who paid with any credit card to contact your credit card company and put in a dispute right now before Alpha Technologies file for bankruptcy. |

Did you pay through your cc via paypal though? |

Yes, but don't go to PayPal, go straight to the CC company and explain the situation, they will open the dispute with PayPal on your behalf which isn't affected by the 45day PayPal dispute time limit.

Yes always try your credit card company first. PayPal terms and conditions states that if you contact them first you waive all your rights to the cc company terms for protection. |

Some people are trying the same channels and not getting the same response. |

I called Discover and said I wanted to dispute a charge, gave the date of the order and the merchant name, explained it was an order for a computer that was supposed to ship some months after I ordered it but never arrived and that I had tried to contact the merchant to request a refund but had been denied. That was it, I wasn't too specific about the date it was supposed to arrive. They did ask why I waited so long to dispute it, and I explained it was an order for an item that hadn't been released yet, but that the date of it's release had come and gone with no product arriving. They didn't need any additonial info.
This triggered a dispute in PayPal almost immediately with the description "Item never arrived", in the details it said "We're reviewing this chargeback and we'll contact you if we need more information. You don't need to do anything further at this time". Opened it on June 30th, didn't hear anything from Discover or PayPal, case closed in my favor July 16th.

Alpha hasn't run yet. Bitpay got back to me on this situation.... They sent a complaint to Alpha. Alpha replied with their typical bullshit saying they haven't broken their terms, and I am not entitled to a refund.
I explained how it has absolutely zero reference to not being refunded in full after 6 months of payment but before product delivery.
I then explained how they have in fact broken their terms and conditions by requesting payment greater than 8-10 weeks ago and still being far off from delivery.
I informed them I have already started a case with their local UK tribunal courts and this would be their last opportunity to resolve the matter outside of the courts.

I did the exact same thing and the child changed my 30% order status to full deposit refund but never sent it, and said the 70% was non refundable, and upon inquiry to why and what, complete disregard and lack of communication or cooperation. In effect he forcibly cancelled and promised goodwill refund and stole the rest. |

Please don't forget guys... I don't see this posted on here?  but.... over here at http://www.alpha-viper-group-action.com/ they are collecting a pool of those seeking refunds for a class-action suit that Alpha much deserves. I won't post any details on the updates we have received publicly here... but... the more the merrier.... get on the list if you are not already. |
