Topic: Black Arrow Customers - Consumer Complaints Links - page 4. (Read 20516 times)

The most difficult part would actually be collecting, but it's very important to follow through on this, because this Alexandru Ion Sovu guy is really dangerous having all of our personal information pertaining to the orders. We need to go after him even if it doesn't necessarily easily result in restitution.

Sadly I think all of you people with the black arrow problems will be wasting your time suing. I hope I am wrong but I doubt criminal charges will result of these lawsuits.

With that sad I wish you all good luck! I hope the people responsible are punished so hopefully this will not happen so often.

i emailed you,  [email protected]  

Black Arrow basterds using our money to develop a scryptminer and 14nm bitcoinminer instead of refunding or deliver products in time

Here is a consolidated list of links.  Further info on how to file, information on legal status, address etc., of BA elsewhere in this thread.

Just putting this together and updating to make it simpler for people to use.


For those wanting to join a lawsuit forming:

Anyone interested in joining a legal action case:
 
Please send to [email protected] the following details:
 
Order date
Rough figure on how much was spent ( please do not supply order numbers yet..this will be a job for the legals to obtain directly from you )
Contact details ( Email will suffice at this stage )
Brief paragraph outlining steps you have taken to resolve issue with BA directly ( i.e. direct communication, complaint to consumer council, local better business bureau, local state senator etc.. )
Expected resolution that would satisfy you ( i.e. full refund, delivery of goods etc )
 
I just want to gather enough information to show to the legal team what level of commitment they will have to undertake to start this rolling and how many people will be involved. From this they can gauge how large the suit will be against BA and what it will entail.

For those wanting to register for an investigation forming via another customer:


"I have a mate who's an Australian Federal Police Officer and he needs to know how many others there are that have been ripped off.  He has the ability to perform international inquiries regarding Alexandru Sovu and can influence the authorities in China. http://www.afp.gov.au/media-centre/publications/platypus/previous-editions/2000/march-2000/china.aspx

I for one am liking the fact that we can influence the Ministry of Public Security and bring BA to their attention.

If you would like to be noted in the investigation and hopefully either obtain your money back or at the very least see Alexandru Sovu come to justice then please click here :- http://members.iinet.net.au/~craige/BA_Customers/BA.html.     "

Black arrow have decimated their own thread to try and hide their gross incompetency and it's worth noting that Theymos has kindly restored a lot of the deleted comments into a new thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/re-black-arrow-28nm-100ghash-bitcoin-asic-from-049ghs-774278

I've said it elsewhere, but basically:
blackarrow should be banned from the forum for abuse of the moderated thread system to try and hide their faults and scam more victims at the conference. This is nothing short of deserving of a scammer tag. Can we make it happen.

I have been constantly ignored and denied refunds just like so many other people..I have an appointment with my lawyer tuesday for some personal matters-so I'm going to run this situation by him and see what he says..Might as well-hes getting my money either way..haha..

This was the first one of several: http://ecointalk.net/topic/1348-my-x3-caught-fire/

So I haven't seen any photos of a burnt up unit can anyone link me to em?

I might just make a thread and post them there since this affects my signature campaign contract.

Are you going to respost them though?

He deleted over 800 consecutive posts in total to date in a very short period of time. I think Alex Sovu and Joshua Zipkin of AMT are out on a drinking binge somewhere in Eastern Europe.

I just had 281 posts deleted by Black Arrow. He spent a good 40 minutes just deleting my posts. This guy is mentally ill.

wire fraud:


18 U.S.C. § 1343 provides:

Whoever, having devised or intending to devise any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, or promises, transmits or causes to be transmitted by means of wire, radio, or television communication in interstate or foreign commerce, any writings, signs, signals, pictures, or sounds for the purpose of executing such scheme or artifice, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both. If the violation affects a financial institution, such person shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both.[2]


that type of stuff is handled by the FBI, who can be contacted here:

http://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/when


I don't know that the FBI would think this rises to the level of wire fraud, although they've issued plenty of promises which have been broken. 

Anyone that would like to contact them is of course welcome to do so.  We can let the FBI decide if it is worth their time or not.

Nice job.  People should pile on to that lawsuit if possible.

It is important that people that are on the fence make up their minds.  There is only strength in numbers on this issue, so the law firm will need to see those numbers.

Now is the time, folks.
