ive also issued a refund from BFL, because i think the chance its a scam is too great
just too much stuff going on that i'm not really going into right now
what i will say is that my refund came back without a hitch, paid with paypal and got my refund within a week back
Topic: BFL - kind of fishy (Read 4102 times)
Yeah, I'd love to see a working BFL ASIC.
LOL, oh Inaba - keep living the dream.
it doesn't sound too bad to me really.. especially when i think back about the terrible customer service i've received before
no.... no problems at all.... just fishy
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!
You got your refund within a day, what is fishy here? I wish I could get email responses from most company that fast.
I'm not sure what there is to explain. You requested a refund on the 26th at 9pm at night and then received a refund on the 27th around 9pm... so 24 hours for a refund. There was a question as to what your order number was and a request for more information was sent, then you responded with the information needed to process the refund and it was refunded. All in ~24 hours.
Yeah... I'm not seeing a problem here.
I read the thread through post #21.Yeah... I'm not seeing a problem here.
Gotta say, I agree with Inaba on this one.
So orders placed in BTC can be refunded in BTC?
I wish it was me getting a refund. I find your post amusing anyway.
Your friend should stop playing dice if he needs the coins so bad.
What I take away from this is that BFL processed your refund in under 24hrs. This makes me more confident in them as a prospective customer. Thanks for sharing.
+1
Thanks for posting Lurk. This company has a lot of other people's money, skepticism is a good thing.
Well, he got his refund! In less then 30 hours!
STFU! MOVE ON! NOTHING TO SEE HERE!
and no I'm not payed by BFL, just one of the quite minory reading this BULLSHITFORUM from time to time.

BFL isn't fishy they make perfect sense. But for them to make perfect sense, you have to step out of the bitcoin world.
People wonder why BFL would make these great miners and sell them instead of use them to mine. They wonder what the long term viability is. Why would they act this way.
It's very simple: catering to Bitcoin miners is just a way to get the capital to build up a custom processing unit business that in no way related to bitcoin. Their url doesn't have "bit" or "btc" in it. If you look at the FPGA firmware download page, they talk about custom loads for medical research. Their hope is that their future only has bitcoin as one of many accomplishments. And delivering a custom ASIC solution to a wide marketplace that will have people 2 or 3 months from now dancing for joy on public forums around the world in multiple languages is a good starting point.
So no, they don't really care that much about your friend's purchase order for their cheapest product line.

If by "ignored" you mean "I didn't get a response instantly." Then yes, I would agree. Otherwise, no.
no problem. glad you could come to your own conclusion.

the fact that he got no response at all until he threatened to post the e-mails and then got an instant refund is fishy.
Its great that he got a refund so fast but would it really have happened so fast if he did not say he was going to post the e-mails?
Like I said I'm not accusing anyone of anything..........this is just info that people should be aware of.
coincidence? maybe.
A refund was issued quickly, after being ignored by the previous emails and not getting a response it just seems odd that a refund would be issued 18 minutes after the last e-mail.
could be nothing......it could be huge.
make your own desicions.

Yeah, 24 hour turn around time on refunds is really fishy.
no.... no problems at all.... just fishy
