Maybe this was the most brilliant idea since Ctrl-Alt-Del, but I'm guessing that Digibuy was getting so many calls from customers questioning a line item on their credit card statements that they had to react to save their sanity and lower their costs. Myself, I would have understood from the second or third iteration of "This is NOT a BILL." I've been billed by Digibuy before, but I knew from the dollar amount (converted from USD) what it was for.

Karen Black in Toronto, cynical as all get out


As someone who used to answer those calls, yup, that's it. Exactly. This was a couple of years ago, before they had the letter.

And that was exactly my point. It's a concrete example of something that saves the company money every day and that a rut-bound tech writer looking for an idea to steal could apply in other companies and other circumstances. That's all I was getting at.
