Rash of "Computer Crashed, Please Resend"

11 replies
Has anyone else noticed a HUGE rash of "my computer crashed and I was in the middle of your book - can you please resend the file" requests?

It's SO verbatim I'm beginning to wonder if someone posted somewhere that this is a way to get free copies. I'm asking for verification from now on and before, I didn't.

    Tiffany. I get these occasionally, but my Mail Slave asks people to forward their PayPal receipt for easy identification of which product they were downloading. This takes care of things quite well, and I'm mainly getting valid requests.

    I've noticed these as well. I'm getting hard drive crashes a lot. But I recognize all the purchases. Maybe they're simply downloading to a work computer?

    Tiff,

    Mine has crashed more times than one of those crash dummies! It might have something to do with the 200+ applications I run!

    I get this request a lot too and also found it odd. However, almost all of them appear to be legitimate when I investigate.

    I'd rather a scammer slip through the cracks than deny a legitimate request though.
