To date, I've recieved 2 e-mails from people who purchased things from an Adsense link -- and then ask me why they haven't recieved their items. Has anyone else had this happen to them?

Maybe this particular site just attracts really dumb people :D

i know a lot of people who have AWS sites have the same problem. i don't understand how people can not pay attention to what site they're buying something from...

It's pretty sad. I think it's probably just that same crowd that falls for Phishing email scams.

Yeh I get the odd request from my AWS sites, but usually people wanting to know if such and such can be shipped to x or y or z and can they send me cash etc

I have had people who have bought dvds from their local video store, and something is wrong with it. they then google it, get me, click on the "submit an update" and tear me a new one and demand a refund.

People like these need to be sent camping. They are the first to get eaten by lions I am sure.... and I mean camping in Alaska, becaue if anyone could attacked by a lion in Alaska its these winners.

In some ways I feel like an arrogant prick for laughing at these people like that. After all, there are plenty of things which I completely suck at on the same scale as them. I always respond and say, hey sorry, I don't sell anything... send this e-mail to the person you actually purchased the item from.

Well, c'mon. A lot of stuff that has to do with computers is fairly straight forward.

I walk into a store, see a movie, I don't think that Rogers Video filmed the movie, I don't think they're the guys in charge of putting it on a disk and making the case for it.
