Anybody expecting a "refund" should be aware that while you might be justified in getting one, while you might be promised one, and while you might even be assured again and again that it was indeed sent to you, you will not receive it. How do I know? It happened to me. I sent in $50, which cleared the bank, was assured that it was mailed back to me two months ago (before the data crash ever happened) and now all I get is promises, but no do-re-me: hear what I'm sayin? Felix is not impressed. Of course, I'll take it all back when the check arrives, but I'm not holding my breath. Usually, when I try to log on BrainKing is "temprarilly down" which should be stated otherwise, like, "most often down," or "normally down."

refund for what felix?

Rose, I signed up for the Gothic World Championship tournament long before most others did, in July, but when too few respondents paid their entrance fees, the creator of the tournament postponed the start date without notifying me. When I tried to make my first moves on the announced start day, the site had no event running by that name. Later, I found out that refunds were given to other early respondents, except not to me. The creator told me via e-mail that I would get a refund by mail. I e-mailed my address to him, and he acknowledged receipt of same. No check has arrived. Promises, yes; check, no. No check.

Fastest way to cure that is have the person who said they sent you the payment call their bank and cancel the cheque. Reissue a second cheque to you send it by registered mail so that you are guaranteed to receive your money with in the week.. Easy enough to do, doesnt cost more then a few extra pennies to ensure someone is indeed getting their money back. Shows good faith in my opinion. It is how I run my business!

I tried 2 times to send my previous message, but got the "temperarilly down" screen. That's why you see the same thing 3 times: I sent it 3 times, thinking it did not go through.
