VAT tax. Probably because it was a Brit site?

I was kinda thinking the former. They sucker people in to either complaining they didn't order this (confirming live email) or clicking a bogus link or thinking, "hey, some schlub bought this & they think it's me...free service/whatever". I'm not taking whatever the bait is, but all of those possibilities seem rather weak for the email effort. I would think there'd be an obvious cash grab involved, but other than the $39.95 receipt ($48 something after taxes) that I haven't shucked out any bucks for, I don't see any means of getting someone's funds.

I had too, but I got stuff about gaming.

I don't game. I haven't signed up for anything in weeks. None of my software is in anyway related to this and none of my accounts have been charged - what's the scam?

All contestants in the Summer Games have to do this right before participating.

Heh, Maggotbox is what we called them at work.

Like them, but much like crab legs, too much effort & mess for so little reward.

I'd switch from Coke to Pepsi and Chips to Fries...oh wait, you put Olympics not Olympia.

I did it intentionally at another store. The security guard was tracking this girl that was grabbing handfuls of cassettes and hiding them on counters outside the dept. He decided to use our video cam display to keep an eye on her while remaining out of view himself. He didn't see it when I hit record. She apparently got wise and left the store, and he came back to tell me. While he was talking, I used a remote to playback the recording on the same monitor he'd been using. He glances at the monitor and there's the girl at the tapes again. "Son of a bitch, she's back", and he peeks around the corner - she's not there. He looks at the monitor - she's there, he looks back at the counter - she's not there. You can see it dawn on him what is going on and he does a slow turn and says "Very funny" in a voice that contradicts what he's saying. Meanwhile the Dept Mgr is in tears, trying to stifle his laughter.

The TV talk in this thread just reminded me of unintentionally pranking a customer. VCRs had just come out & we had one. I had recorded a portion of a December Bears game along with commercials. Fast Forward to mid-July. I found and played the tape to see what was on it, but got called back to the dept register. As I watched, a customer was looking at the TVs and passed the one with the recording playing on it, just as a promo for the evening news came on and announced "up to 8 inches of snow expected overnight". Surprised the customer didn't break his neck, the way he whipped his head around.

Malort is nothing. Salmonella sucks.

Not. Even. Close.

Frozen shoulder has better movement, but still feels like my arm is being ripped from its socket when I move it too quickly.

Some would say our rotor is an antique too. 😄
