NO OPUS REALITY! If you want to file a complaint

Looks like the OR card will be just a souvenier. There is NO MJ agumented reality.  The technology exists.  The MJ content does not.  Kraken's website was down for 2 days this week.  When it re-emerged, this page (regarding the Opus Reality) no longer exists:  www.krakenopus.com/family/michaeljackson/reality.php  Here is a cached comparison showing the changes.  All lined-through items means the words are deleted. 

The "Extras" page is still present, but will (my estimation) be removed as well.  Actually, if you notice, the part about downloading the trigger image (in color or black/white, or for iPod) is not there anymore. 

Click to file a complaint:

  4. Hi Cali,

    It's a heartbreaking news. How about those you told us that they have received the Opus, are those confirmations sent by Kraken to cheat you? Is it able to contact them again to see if they are real? Please advise.

  8. Dear Cali,

    Hope you feel very well, here everything's ok.

    I've tried send the email to Karl, but the adres is not good I think, because the emails I've send, are returning straight back to me?

    So I guess we cannot send the crook the mail.

    Thank you that you are so good for the MJ Fans.

    You are a very sweet person.

    Kind regards, Raymond

  9. Velvet! hugs thank you
    KIB! hugs thank you

    Raymond, hugs and thank you!

    Sorry, I did put up the wrong email (that's my fault-- guess I'm not as well as I thought I was..lol) but you should use the links at the top of the page (English here and Spanish here) for the complaint. The Opus UK address information is posted here so you don't have to go looking for it.

    Does that help?

    Much L.O.V.E.

  13. Hey Cali
    I don't know how to start or what to say!!! First, miss you so much:*how are you feeling dear? I was frightened about that hospital thing:(
    This is so disgusting!!!!!!!!]
    I would buy my opus without it's extra uniqness of OR technology, but believe me this made a huge impression on me.And I think lots of people were just amazed that despite the gorgeous book, they would have access on MJ's rare stuff.They even gave us codes!!!!!!!! And I'm saving this letter(printed!) in my drawer,each time smiling at it.
    THIS IS A LIE!
    THIS IS A CRIME!
    THIS IS AN UNPRECENDENTED DISRESPECT TOWARDS
    M.J !!!!

    My heart is aching.This person was struggling his whole life, and this battle isn't over even after his death.Now, we fans are struggling for M.J's name.Why don't all this people sit down once and think that they are doing the wrong thing, that they're not just using the great person's name but disrespecting him? Do I have to believe that they've all lost their feeling of conscience?
    I think I have to, but it's very painful to believe.

    Love you all M.J's fans, REAL FIGHTERS!!!

    WE ARE THE WORLD!!!!

  14. Hmmmmmm... just noticed that the kraken opus website now lists the weight of this opus as 26.5 lbs. Strange. Did they just realize they forgot to send the other 11.5 lbs that were advertised originally? LOL

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hmmmmmm...PattiAnn you are right, I have just noticed the same...and the OR CARD ( aka ) THE CARD...because it is just a card, an useless card it doesnt weight 11.5 lbs!...so... it would be other OPUS...the real one??...or may be they forgot to say that during Kraken LONG TIME DELIVERY the OPI will lost that 11.5 lbs???...Strange...

    ReplyDelete
  16. LOL @ Velvet! The Kraken Opus diet plan! Lie, cheat, steal and delay and lose 11.5 lbs in just a few months! Ha Ha Ha! And we forgot about the 2nd cheap glove..... that would have been another few ounces! VERY strange!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks for the info, Cali. I filed a whole new complaint! Time for the FTC to take action!

    It's all for love. L.O.V.E.,

  25. Dear Cali,

    Hope you are feel very well, Here everything's ok with me.

    I have send another new mail now, and that went straight to them.

    I have had an confirmation mail back from the FTC, so I hope we can mean something as we all together fight against these crooks.

    Many many thanks for your great support for us, the MJ Fans.

    I hope that everyone that has not yet received their Opus, they received him very quickly.

    I have a last question Cali, have you had and seen my mail that I had send you, with the music of MJ in it, that were sung by Trijntje OOsterhuis?.

    That is here a great succes, and hope you find it nice interpretations of Michael's songs.

    Kind regards,

    Raymond
