As yet I've not received anymore information about the matter. I called at my local National Australia Bank this morning. The teller checked the contents of the next statement and found there is no mention of the amount.
Please could you check the matter on my behalf.
I should hope there are no dishonest dealings taking place in the name of Microsoft Windows XP.

NB. What can be done about the outdated confirmation code? I do not quite understand the details of the confirmation code. Please could you rectify anything not in keeping with the matter?
Well, if the confirmation code is too old, what should I do, just leave the matter and the dishonest offer, I think not.
