Last Friday I received an email from the 12DP receiver, Thomas F. Lennon. I’m sorry that I didn’t get this out last Friday, but I wasn’t feeling well the last few days. Here is the update:

As you can see, another quarter-million of our potential refund funds have been spent and still no word on when or how much we’ll receive!
There is another update at Receiver Letter of 5/1/2007. It talks about credit card charge backs. Apparently the receiver was waiting on the timely filing for charge backs to expire before collecting information on how much the charge back amount came to. NOW the receiver can concentrate on analyzing the results and creating a new website to collect information from us. Wasn’t all the information available on the old 12DP database? Can’t they use email to collect address changes? They also complained about individuals phoning and emailing them and the cost of responding to individuals, yet they give the phone number and email address right on the home page.
It all sounds like more delays and more of our potential refund funds being spent. How frustrating!!

Trust me you will not get a single cent on the dollar. When they are done, it will be zero, nothing, just shattered hopes of any refund.
Makila,
I agree! The whole point of having a receiver to distribute equitable refunds was shattered long ago.

Shoot ‘em an email and call ‘em all a bunch of blood-sucking, shyster parasites. Probably won’t get any more of your money back but I bet it makes you feel better!
Welcome back, btw! We missed ya’.
The only difference between these blood suckers and the scammers who run the Ponzi is that the first group is legal but the second group isn’t. Other than that, they’re the same kinds of people in my opinion.
I wrote off my $500 EMO a long time ago once I saw these blood suckers get involved.
Sorry, this is the only word that I find that fits them to a glove.
Those legalised ** BASTARDS ** will bleed, steal and rob all the members’ fund.
It is indeed an unfair world……….
Those funds will disappear into their filthy pockets ………
SIGH…………
