Dear Mr. Philio$,

My, you are a rude chap this morning!PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGY " I was told by the that they would not purchase a group policy from you until all members were satisfied.

Well sir, I am certainly not satisfied! You have very poor customer service.DEAR HONORABLE CLIENT, I DIDN'T MEAN TO BE RUDE TO YOU VIA EMAIL, I WAS UPSET THIS MORNING BY ONE OF MY STAFF, I ASK TO CARRY-OUT DUTIES THAT MESS-IT UP AND MY CAR THAT BREAK-UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WHILE I WAS COMING TO OFFICE THIS MORNING!!.I AM SORRY FOR SOUNDING RUDE VIA MY CURRENT EMAIL TO YOU.

As the president of the Cornwall chapter, I will let the main office know how rude your last e-mail was. I suggest that you make amends to me immediately sir, or you will lose a great deal of business. "PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGY " GOD BLESS YOU REAL GOOD,FOR ACCEPTING AND UNDERSTANDING.

Awesome

I will of course write back with more questions tomorrow.

Hahaha! I think I would grovel, too, for USD4650 and the opportunity to get a LOT more!

Is anyone else sending him funds?

Well I said I was a friend of Edward's and in the Bike club and asked for a household insurance quote on my shooting lodge hotel;

Quote:

Please agree with the following statements.If you cannot agree.Email us to give us further details.

* Me and all persons living in my home have never had any criminal convictions
* I have never been refused Insurance by another company
* My property is in a good state of repair and is not left unoccupied for more than 30 days
* I do not have any lodgers
* I do not use my property for any professional purposes or for storage of business goods
* The property should be situated in Cyprus

If you can agree to the above, give us your information below so we can give you a quote. You will receive the quotation via e-mail within one working hour.

obviously a cut and paste job,
how I wish the lodge was in Cyprus, the weather is so much nicer there,
but a lot less pheasants

Yes, you are an empty hotel, hence, you don''t need liability insurance, only riot damage.....

They cover riot damage, right? I think you should make sure!

Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2007 7:56 pm

@good doctor I shall definitely ask about riot damage, and syncopated structural stresses after he replies to my request for a simplified application form.

His cut and paste Microsoft Word jobby just wouldn't cut the mustard when I attempted to tick all the boxes.

Okay, I am the president of the Minot, North Dakota US chapter of this esteemed group. We have 500 riders.... why is this numpt quoting me rates in Pounds? And does he not have the ability to do that fancy L think that the Brits use for the $? He uses the # instead.... geesh.

Anyway, I suppose that there are some forms I ought to send to him Smile

What about if a bike got stuck in a hedge? Would your company cover the cost of towing the bike out of the hedge? YES

MY CAR THAT BREAK-UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, WHILE I WAS COMING TO OFFICE THIS MORNING!!.

Don't you hate when your car falls apart during your commute? I hope he had insurance!

Courtesy of the fine services at EZTr@ck, he's up to the Interpol check stage of my funds transfer from BalB@ank. Should be denied any day now.

Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 3:38 pm

Hahahahah, me too! He checks the site 5 times a day now...

Mr Philios,

IT IS MONDAY! Where is MY POLICY?

If I don't hear from you, I cancel this whole business.

Your company is very unresponsive.

Send me an apoplectic email now, explaining the delays, or I cancel
the transaction. It is now almost winter, and I need to have that
insurance so I can ride my bike.

If I don't hear from you, I will write all members of the Tail Wind
clubs and tell them how inconsiderate your company is, and then YOU
WON'T SELL a SINGLE POLICY!

Angrily yours,

EXXXXX CXXXXX

Dear Client,

Sorry for the delay.

I have contacted my company Agent "Account Holder" in respect to the Fund Wire, but he made me to understand that the money is yet to reflect into his Account with "Mega International Commercial Bank Co. Ltd".

Off which, i have confirmed it via the Transaction ID on line, you send to me before now which states that the condition of the Fund as "Status: Interpol Security Checks"!! I will solicit you to check it up,by yourself since we make

Philios Z.

It'll take a few more days for the transaction to fail. It stalls on the Interpol checks for a while IIRC.

Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 3:30 am

Wel, I asked him if there was a problem, and said my banker was looking into it....

Dear Mr. Philios,

That is great! Which towing company do you use in Cornwall? Walt's Towing Company.

Feh, I got exactly the same reply. I asked him to put me in touch with this Mr. Holder so we could discuss the transfer, since my BalBank account has already been debited. Also told him I'm not surprised Interpol would be suspicious about those Communist Taiwanese bankers Smile

Phylios has been laying on the pressure to finish up this deal, so I told him that an insurance company in Cote D'Ivoir called "OK INSURANCE" is offering us a 30% discount. He's pissed, but as I explained to him, what can I do? I have to do what is best for the club.

Everyone should start sending Phylios notes explaining the better service and rates offered by OKI, and demanding he match.

Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 3:19 pm

I have not heard from the esteemed Mr Philios today.... He is checking the transfer like a rat hitting the cocaine bar.... it should bounce on the 21st.

Anyone else besides me and Bohigal have funds slowly not winding their way to him?

Haven't spoken to him in ages - after all theres no internet access in the Himalayas, and who has time to email when your on such an amazing bike trip. So I've emailed him today, asking for a full breakdown of the costs - so hopefully should hear from him soon.

Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 8:00 pm

I haven't even offered to give him any money yet. Maybe I should do that? Laughing

Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 8:17 pm

Ask him if he wants Bank transfer or WU! Bet WU works for him!

Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 8:21 pm

@Worf, yeah, I'd clinch the deal now, and start the process... keep our lad checking ITV5 or EZtrakka...

Posted: Tue Sep 18, 2007 8:52 pm

Well he just quoted me some $500000 for my 500 member club.... I asked him to send me the insurance application. Since there is an application fee I ASSUME there must be an application?

I suspect that we will have some anti-terrorism forms to fill out. Once those are done, I suspect that OK Insurance is going to put in a bid to get my business too.

Well, your friend and mine, responded.... His comments are in bold.

Quote:

Mr Philios,

I spoke with my banker and he says that your bank account may be under
investigation by Interpol? Is not my personal bank Account, but the Company's Agent bank Account. He is looking into it. That sounds strange.
What is going on here? Should I be alarmed? Not yet!! let the country interpol finish their work/assignment, if that be the case.

Can you ship my insurance policy, please, now! Not yet,Don't worry, every thing will soon be Seattle, cheer-up..

Edward

Everthing will soon be Seattle? Like, dude, espresso stands on EVERY corner, everywhere! Whoa!
