Comment Things besides where a person is also sets tax (Score 1) 428

Do not forget that in some places you only have to pay sales tax on purchases over a certain $ amount in certain categories. now what would happen if someone places multiple orders keeping each below the minimum? Any brick and mortar store I been to would not care especially if the person went through different check outs even in a short amount of time but what about an online store who notices they have 6 different orders going to the same person at the same address?

Comment does the phone dialer keypad also have this issue? (Score 1) 337

I do not have and I doubt I will ever have an Iphone but I am curious does this also carry over to making phone calls, or did they do something different when a person presses the number buttons to dial a number? Though I guess apple does not expect people to dial numbers that they do not have in their contacts already.

Comment Charge them (Score 1) 565

Friend of mine once had this happen to her, but she was lucky in that several of the emails were for eCommerce and they included a shipping address. She very nicety typed up a nice letter and snail mailed it to that address explaining his mistake. Also in the letter was terms if he wished to continue to use her email address she would be charging a $20 (US) fee per email to cancel whatever services were being done through it and payment would be due 1 week from sending out her invoice to him. With 100% interest compounded daily for any invoices not paid in 7 days. She got 1 bad email after that was sent.
