You forgot to buy this!

I was looking for a bag for my Lenovo X201 12.1 subnotebook and visited a site offering a right bargain! A messenger bag reduced from £49.99 to £4.99! Like most sites you have to create an account to purchase so I started the process and noticed you could pay via PayPal. When I clicked on that service the price jumped to £49.99 which immediately rang alarm bells in my head, why would it be £4.99 with a debit or Credit card and yet £49.99 with PayPal?

 I decided not to continue the process and now they're emailing me which is interesting seeing as (I believe) I did not complete the signup process or agree to receive emails? I find their "We respect your right to privacy" and yet receiving emails confirms my opinion that something's iffy here.

Give me your supplier.

Customer: "I see you have some Windows 7 pro laptops for sale, can you do them any cheaper?" Me: "I'm afraid not, we put very little markup on them and as they are refurbished they are very reasonably priced anyway." Customer:  "Seeing as it's pro I take it they come with Word and Excel?" Me: "I'm sorry, why would Pro mean that? No that is just the operating system, Office will be extra" Customer:  "What? They're not much use without Word." Me: "As I said, you can have Word/Office for an additional cost." Customer:  "Can you tell me where you buy them from please?" Me: "I'm afraid not." Customer:  "Why not?" Me: "Two reasons, one they only sell to Trade and two, why would I tell you that so that you go to them direct?" Customer:  "You're very rude?" Me: "I'm sorry you feel that way, I think we will leave it there. Goodbye."

Me: "There is a fault call at xxxx they cant get on the O: drive and xxxx cant send emails". Engineer: "xxx was dealing with that he should be back soon".

Me: "That'll do it, have we rung them?" Engineer: "No not yet". Me: "Well lets ring them then" Engineer: "Oh Their Broad Band isn't down its the server thats down". Me: "That's why they cant get on the O: drive then, here's a thought ring them and get them to reboot!" So initially it was a case of "How the hell can I get out of doing this?" with this in mind a slap dash approach was instigated.
