can somebody comment?

acw · Mar 11, 2002

I know someone who is waiting for a payment too. I will keep you updated on this one.

Anyhow does anyone know any more about these guys?
From their domain name registration I get the impression, as if they are Malaysian-Chinese.

Can the shrink and Sting shed some light into this?

Everything was ok and I could still access their website on 9/mar. But on the following day, everything was inaccessible, including emails.

Or anybody has any idea what's going on?

UK2000 · Mar 12, 2002

acw, has your friend got his money back?

aaronlim, please explain more.

On saturday i had made a deposit of USD 2200 to them and I had made a few bets and won.

My balance was then USD 4337.10

Sunday i requested a withdrawal and was told paypal had some "technical problem". That was when i started to suspect i won't get my money back at all.

So i request a bankwire, they told me 2 days. OK

the next day their site was gone /infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif

I really needed the money for my mom's medical bill and it was my last hope for her, now that its come to this stage, i don't know what to do.

If they are really gone, I hope they know what they have done and how many lifes they have affected deeply.

Dude,
Never heard of this outfit. You're in the UK, why do you bother with dodgy places?

Has anyone taken the opportunity to telephone them or their server host?

Has anyone received a reply to any recent emails?

Ken knows a lot of people in a lot of places who can find out what problems Timebet might be experiencing. Could be any number of things:

Website down because of:

Hacking
Server
Upgrades (Sometimes simple upgrades go wrong)
Bandwidth connections
Routers

We need to be patient until The Prescription takes up the cause and perhaps might be able to shed a little light on these issues.

I also have a financial interest in bringing this problem to resolution:

Please:

UK2000..........Please keep us updated concerning your payout.

acw.............Please keep us updated with your friend's payout.

aaronlim........Please let us know how you're doing.

I'll post all the information I receive.

Good Luck

Needless to say, I'm not doing fine at all... Mom has got kidney failure and I have to support her + my 2 kids. Her monthly bill for last month that's coming up and i don't even have the guts to go check my letterbox

chfs4ever · Mar 12, 2002

I hate the fact everybody involved has to wait until we find out what circumstances surround this Timebet.com deal.

Believe me, nobody wants a good ending to this situation more than me.

I'll post anything I hear.

UK2000 · Mar 12, 2002

I am actually enquiring for my friend who still has 5 Dimes with them. My friend is trying to dig out info from other chatrooms.

/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif

Luckily for me, i managed to withdraw my 2 Dimes out from them by neteller on 6/Mar. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

chfs4ever · Mar 12, 2002

Thank You.

I've reached out to a lot of contacts, but haven't heard back.

I'll be sure to post anything I hear which might be relevant.

UK2000 · Mar 13, 2002

The last email I received from timebet was on 7/Mar from accounts@timebet.com.

The no : +1 509 352 4790 was a fax no and
no: 603-7041517 was changed to 603-78041517 but there was no reply.

My friend actually deposited 2500 usd on 9/Mar and the site was down /infopop/emoticons/icon_confused.gif the next day until now.

Emails were sent out but it was always showing 'delivery status notification (Delay)'.

Anyone knows what does ' d s n (delay)' actually means?

chfs4ever · Mar 13, 2002

Thanks.

I've heard a few things, but nothing reliable as yet.

chfs4ever · Mar 13, 2002

I got a response from a knowledgeable and helpful party a short while ago. I'll let you know what information they are able to forward.
