Thanks to all of you who answered my first posting ("Beware of ARIS
Singapore, they're a bunch of thieves": I bought from them a Jazz
Jakarta MPEG card which didn't work, and which they refused to refund
). Unfortunately for those crooks, I had obtained from the salesman to
write on my invoice the mention "took back the card FOR A REFUND",
along with his signature; so they are very anxious to return the card
to me. But what is most funny is that they also sent me a letter
threatening to sue me in case of defamatory remarks! But they've got
their useless malfunctioning card and my 772$. What else do they want?
Who is the victim? Is it defamatory to tell the truth and say that
they swindled me? I am not going to let them get away with all this,
and I'll inform you folks of all future developments. GREETINGS to
all,
