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

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.

It's a sales courtesy call...someone must have plugged your info in to dl a demo.

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! =/

Call them back and tell them to pay you one meelyeeon dollars or you'll publish their source code on the web.

Why would you give out your real number to anyone when sending away for free stuff?

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