Nope! Nothing in mine, but I'm glad you said something because I almost missed out on the $950,000 I won!!!!

Talking of winning $950,000 ... I got this email reply today from one of the contact emails I had:
Ian, PayPal does not work for me. Please send me your complete bank account information so I do a wire transfer for you. I need it like follows:
-Your full name.
-Account number.
-Branch address.
-Your address.
-Your bank branch swift code. You can get it by calling any customer support in the bank.

Please answer me ASAP as this process takes like few days.

YES!It Was Me Who Sent That

Ian,
Please let me clarify this:
I live in Saudi and I have a non US-issued credit card which I always had a problem paying to PayPay using it. I asked you in a previous mail if you could find another way for charging me other than PayPal and your answer was "NO", am I right??? Well, I've asked for these information to wire transfer your $45 before the 15th of March as I promised you. I wanted to keep my commitment for the purchase but it turned on me. Well, I will never allow anyone to distroy my image here or anywhere else.

P.S. If you do not believe that, you could ask Jan/RMW about exactly the same experience we had yesterday. This also was sent by mail.

The difference is, Jan took it simple and easy, he sent me all the required information and his transfer is on the way.

Finally, I'm still intrested in your product. Althought I'm trying so hard to find someone of my friends who's living in the US or UK to send you the money, I can not guarentee that. So, I hope you take it positively and trust guys who loved Mini, NAM, your product and your creativity.

Hey ... YOU'RE the one who "destroyed your image" ... I did not name or in any way identify the sender of the email I received.

If anyone recognizes this partial email address, they might want to review their service:
<k...e@atomicturnip.com>: Host or domain name not found. Name service error for name=atomicturnip.com type=MX: Host not found, try again

lol, it's not destroyed. I was man enough to pop here and say. Simply, because i'm not a phisher!! I need your part and need to pay. I'm a commited person sticking to the deadline you put, the 15th of March. So I prefer if we talk it over the phone or by email to get everyone happy.

15th March is not a deadline; maybe my email was not clear.
I'm away from 7th to 15th so orders in that date range will be ship-delayed.

I'm sorry that I will NOT give out my personal bank details to anyone - nothing to do with you; just a general principle. Mailing an international money order might be your best option ... or you can check with MikeyTheMINI at NewMINIstuff in the next couple of weeks, since he is the one aftermarket vendor that sometimes has stock of these circuits (and he's in England, closer to you!)

Remember ... I'm a person, not a business.

Marwan, please realize, here in the states, we get e-mails and phone calls on a weekly (sometimes daily) basis asking for this info in the same format you sent, their intentions are NOT good. Sorry for thinking the e-mail sender was a scammer. Good luck with payment.

I don't want this to seem like an Ian C. lovefest or anything, but he is offering these devices to the forum as a favor as he could easily only deal with a vendor and not worry about shipping or payment hassles.

I know in my transactions with other countries I will only accept paypal, as I am not willing to risk the hassle and lose that can come without them as an intermediary. It's a big world with a lot of scams happening.

hmmmmm, maybe this means that all the purported scammers are actually well intentioned, and those thousands of emails I've deleted really would get me unclaimed riches of the sheik of pardoo's nephew, killed in zombia while purchasing the diamonds of his ancestors, with untold millions of british pounds to his name and all he needs is my personal information and we can split it 50/50.

This thread has turned into a reality show/soap opera/game show. Very entertaining. It's like Deal or No Deal meets As the World Turns. I think we should change name to: As the Auto Up Circuit or no Auto Up Circuit Turns.

That's what I said when my wife told me it was delivered today. I guess your new experimental packaging works.
