I’ll go ahead and ask the dumbass question so others don’t have to…
Do they actually check your business, to make sure it’s legit?
Doesn’t seem like they have enough info from that email to do so.
Did you have to give them much more than that somewhere else?
I’ve been using Microsoft Works and Vista so it was nice to get Office 2007 and Windows 7. Other than those nothing was really of any importance to me.
