Well I was gonna order, but for now I will pass. Too much questions that are too easy to answer and still no answers Roll Eyes

. What happened with the guy that was living nearby and was going to pay them a visit ? Also can the other guy that had an e-mail response from them just show them this thread and ask them to participate. I suppose most of the buyers are also reading this thread so it's in their favor to answer here the questions that were asked and assure everyone that they are not scammers.

I mention to them in my email the thread.

I closed with this_

Can you comment on this please? Might be a good idea to do so in the thread your company
started, to relax customers.

So, Alpha Technologies is aware of what is going on here. And I hope they do comment.

It is in their and our best interests. I mean the first batch has not sold out yet as far as I know.

Clueless!

How many units are they gonna ship in batch 1 anyone know?

and yes I ordered an alpha 5m viper I guess it is called put 30 percent down

with paypal (45 days refund) and amex (add 15 days for 60 days refund) and probably (unsure) more protection after that point...I can stall for a while and look at my naval in deep thought on all this

BFL refugee....would not have ordered if they did not have paypal and the cc option in my case amex

so they have 45 days to wow me ...maybe 15 beyond that if amex goes for it ..total of 60 days they SHOULD?

have some significant info by that time I'd hope?

(note: after BFL I have the skedaddle skills of a spooked deer..so I'd better see something of note in this time frame)

Aplpha is definitely legit

Just curious, what makes you say that? Because I have serious reservations

Alpha-T, suggestion: In the event the ship date is missed, you would save face and gain following if you offer more hash to the purchasers (particularly batch 1). Come up with some sort of proposal for this. 15 days late = free 5mh, 30 days late = free 25mh, etc.

Aplpha is definitely legit, the only questions are if they will ship on time (say end of summer/Sept) and at spec

personally I think its worth a gamble, but who knows difficulty could be 20k by then if Litecoin goes crazy this year (and it will)

/facepalm

Just because they are middle eastern doesn't make everyone a terrorist! I have plenty of friends that come from the middle east and they are not even close to what a lot of people describe them to be (terrorists, violent, dangerous, etc). Some of my friends and colleagues are the nicest, respectful, and kindest people I have met.

Do accountants in UK need a license to practice? I'm sure we can dig up their records and validate their business.

Quote

In the UK there are no licence requirements for individuals to describe themselves or to practise as accountants, but to use the description "Chartered Accountant" they must be members of one of the following organisations:

the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales (ICAEW) (designatory letters ACA or FCA);

the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) (designatory letters ACCA or FCCA);

the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) (designatory letters CA); or

Chartered Accountants Ireland (CAI, which is an Irish rather than a UK body but covers Northern Ireland as well as the Republic of Ireland), designatory letters ACA or FCA).

Mohammed Akram, which apparently also goes by Muhammed Akram or Mohammed Jafar Akram or Mohammed Mubasher Akram. When looking these personas up with relation to Alpha Technologies, their birth years come up as 1948, 1987, and 1990, respectively.

To be fair, that could easily be a father and two sons. Mohammed is a very common name for a large percentage of the world.

Like you say it's common amongst some cultures to share the same name. Not surprised by this at all. Father and two sons quite feasibly.

Cam't rule out father and sons perhaps, but odd to change director positions within a month or so between father and each son. But either way, if they came out publicly and presented themselves in persona, maybe a lot could be cleared up?!

If I read it right the father resigned as director and one of the other sons joined as financial director. From what I understand Alpha-T was setup off the back of an accountant firms which one of them was already involved in (can't remember the finer detail). so it may work out better this way (at least from a tax perspective) to organise their business in this manner.

Nope. They also own an accountancy firm. Alpha Technologies was formally Cheshire Technologies. Changed its name 22nd of July 2013. Less than six months ago.

here is the website for their accounting firm: http://www.akramco.com/ which was created October 16th, 2011 from the whois records. I guess Jafar is the son and also an accountant like his father. Mubasher must be the younger son and perhaps the engineer as one of the Alpha Technologies people introduced themselves here under the bitcointalk alias as one.

Stuff like that is helpful to shed some light behind this company and know who we are dealing with and if they can be trusted to an extend.

Do accountants in UK need a license to practice? I'm sure we can dig up their records and validate their business.

You can find Jafar in Linkedin http://www.linkedin.com/pub/mohammed-jafar-akram/86/b3b/aba
But I would guess one would need to have some kind of license, especially since they do reference them on their website as far as credentials go.
