While I was running XenoSoft, I had one customer call for support, and
THEN call saying that the package never arrived.
I had another customer (a mid-sized university) tell me that the package
arrived broken, and when I insisted that they send the broken unit back,
THEN they said that it never arrived.
I had another customer tell me that the package arrived damaged, and
cancelled the order. They returned the package, but had removed the
diskette, put it back in in a different orientation than what we always
used, and THEN folded it over and destroyed it.
Still,
less than half a dozen instances of fraud in 20 years was pretty good.
