I ordered the 250Mh/s Viper at the beginning of January. I paid by wire transfer. My order status never changed from "Hold".
I never received answers by email until now, where they ask for proof of the wire, claiming they did not get it. This is ridiculous since I put the order number and date into the wire reference field.
So now I sent them the wire transfer confirmation and they don't reply again. With the order status on "Hold" I am not even able to make any further payment, because I don't get to see an invoice when I log on to their site.
you should go to the bank and reverse the wire xfer using their email as an example they did not get it
then imho run for the hills with the cash

Just logged in to their website, to see what deadline they give now for final payment. There is no deadline stated, but what I do see is that it is still NOT POSSIBLE to pay by creditcard.
So, I don't know whether they just added 'fake' creditcard payments? Or actually never added it at all.
I know amex is still investigating them...perhaps they contacted alpha's bank...I told them they only started taking cc again the day I called
this after my 30% refund was ..now that it was 5 months past I could not get refunded..and viola cc is again offered
I asked if I should pay the full amount and then ask for a 100% amex refund in that the product was not shipped yet...as a reply I had an amex rep
tell me they could not recommend me paying for an amex product (the last 70%) from an amex merchant (alpha) from me an amex customer...we both laughed
at that right after she said it..you don't hear that from a cc rep very often I bet...also alpha could kill this bank related cc account anytime.....or at least the bank (alpha) in that because
it was thru the bank and not amex nor paypal say directly...they could simply stop cc payments at any time by canceling such with their bank
Thru the current setup...if cc companies start to ask for $$$ back or so the rep continued to say..ie get all the $$$ they could on rest of orders..then cancellations are tried
thru cc company pull the tap so the cc companies can't get the $$$ back..should people try reversals..slick scam
amex rep was not pleased at this 30% vaporware as she put it on non delivery of a product games etc..really did not like the 'we are a business we
don't have to refund from alpha." ....and again (this time I asked) she did have web access and looked at the TOS on the site....again at least I am
making amex reps annoyed at alpha on a regular basis ..hopefully the amex dispute dept feels the same..
Anyway amex may have contacted the bank and used the links of the TOS I sent them and got them cut off again?
or more cc money was trying to flow out via the cc option on the 30% refunds then was flowing in..thus alpha canned cc option promptly
hope it is a cancellation of cc option cause they have been found out to be slimy.. ...would serve them right
I sure hope this is the case maybe we would get some real info on what is going on vs just shut up and pay from alpha
WTF I have no idea ..it is like a 'sped up' timewise of the BFL scam.....same noises different product..and it is customer's responsibility on all $$$ loss
on their failed timeline/product/etc...sh*t they have no chips no timeline no prototype and the chip mnfg they use to make them has been in the past
(TMC the big one I think it is called) has for the most part (at least with bfl) been very very late
does not look good for those who have paid in full or even us partial payment guys/gals
