That is great advice. I ordered some software a few months ago and
the computer went mad and triple tapped me. We only found out when
the Card Statement came. I phoned the Card guys [didn't need
perpetual hold from the software guys], told them about the triple tap
and they promptly corrected that right on the spot - credit me/back
charge vendor - done deal! Try it.
