Originally posted by Dr Orloff There will be no good news here. Some lenses have turned up for sale on a UK based forum. The lenses are similar, similarly priced, images also on Imageshack look the same as those here now removed. The lenses are in Thailand and the guy is Italian, just happens to work for a Thai photopgraphic studio. Well that's the story anyway.
Good luck to everyone trying to recover their money.
Just to update this. The above mentioned person selling those lenses named himself as Paul Roberts (username Thaipentax) and claimed to be a different person to Chirocanonpan (Bancha Worakai).
Here are some observations:
Bancha Worakai claims to be Thai and doesn't speak Thai.
Bancha Worakai comes from a rich Thai family and speaks poor English (rich Thais speak good English).
Paul Roberts has an anglicised name, claims to have a Canadian mother and lives in the USA, but speaks poor English.
Paul Roberts claims to work in Thailand.
Both users however speak Italian.
Paul Roberts has Italian websites selling replica Rolexes.
Paul Roberts and Bancha Worakai both registered under the same email address, even though one claims not to be the other.
I wish everyone waiting on packages the very best.
