You can, but then you may get a call from them saying that you called them. :confused:

I would. Sounds a little weird... you wanna make sure some kid didn't use your info (name/phone/credit card) to buy software from your website and that guy was following up with something like needed a credit card expiration or something.

I downloaded some software from them once. They were offering free tshirts or something if you downloaded the sw. But then I found out that you had to install it and use it for like 30 days or something before they'll send you the tshirt.

They called me later on too. I told them I never used it so no tshirt. They bothered me a couple of times before quitting. Next time I'll use your line. Seems to work better.

Pretty sad when they can just settle on spamming your in-box. They have to go for your own home phone now! =/

I don't really see the problem - what are they going to do, call me in the middle of the night?
