What? Why? They are not responsible for your bank account and credit cards or whatever payment mode you use. If your bank does that, it makes sense.
This still does not justify OPs claim that Amazon is "cheating".

Most internet purchases ask you for your billing address and the ship-to address. They don't have a problem if those two are different as you may be ordering a gift for someone.
If I remember correctly, the Amaz(on/ing) cretins asked only for the shipping address, checked with my bank and found my billing address was different, and decided it was a fraudulent transaction, most likely because the transaction originated in Germany for a US card.
If the cretins had asked for a reply by e-mail, which is what they used to contact me, I could have explained the situation, sent them images of my card, my passport and my arse, etc., to satisfy them.
No, I had to fax sh!t over to them. I wasn't going to go to any trouble for the privilege of being able to order sh!t from Amazon.
I do my shopping elsewhere.

Again, I would be screaming why the hell you care about my bank account? That is a problem between me and my bank idiots.

The reason is I couldn't call and explain them for weeks because whenever I call that call gets disconnected and then they call my home Phone in India which usually picked up by my poor parents who do not know nothing about Online Shopping etc.
All they were saying is we don't need this item please return it. I don't know what more should they tell Amazon India. Anyways I don't understand why they don't allow anybody to reach them other than they calling on the registered number is my problem, in a Country like India where public transit is common means of transportation and losing Cells Phones and losing numbers is even very common (because still Vendor mobility isn't common in retaining same Mobile numbers).
And Contact Us page is not on the home page its somewhere I found after searching online, means they tried to kill most of the ways that Customers try to reach them.
Very sad very upsetting.

Do you know you can cancel an order online? If it is already delivered, you can set up return online as well.
And how does any of this sound like cheating to you?

That's what is my whole big message was trying to explain right?, I have cancelled it online, before it was dispatched even, when the status was showing "Preparing For Dispatch". Then still they sent the item then they changed the status to "Dispatched".
That's what I wanted to explain to Amazon, rather than sending Emails and confuse just like I am doing to you, I wanted to call them and explain them, please take your item back from the stage where it is (I mean the item was in transit, I wanted it to be sent back during transit itself), and I couldn't reach them. That's why I am saying its cheating.
And another problem is, the item is supplied by a 3rd party vendor, and I can understand sometimes how bad they (3rd party vendors) follow the rules, when I cancelled the item, the Order was showing Preparing For Dispatch then when I cancelled it, maybe within 3 or 4 hrs its changed to Dispatched. I feel some type of desperation from the 3rd party seller. And after that also I have contacted the Seller couple of times to stop the item wherever it is (within the transit itself) and take it back as we are not interested in taking that item.
These are the reasons I am saying I got bitten by it, maybe its Amazon or 3rd party seller, I am cheated. One more thing, I don't know anything about that 3rd party Vendor, I buy products by looking at Amazon, hence I blame Amazon only because I don't even know who the hell that 3rd party guy.
If you can do anything please help me buddy - any help even a suggestion would help me.
If I can get an Indian number online which runs by using Data just like Google Voice etc and if I can transfer my Indias number calls on to that number (or my US number) then I can speak to Amazon guys directly explain them the situation.
I brought another Memory Foam mattress hence this one is just waste for me my friend, I hope you can understand my situation better now. See how hard it is on Email to explain all this stuff, it took a while, but if I can talk I can explain what happened exactly by voice and that's easier.
That's what I am trying for any help would be greatly helpful my friend.
Thanks,
Abdul Aleem

I don't know why I am freaking teaching you how Amazon works.
They do tell if order is dispatched you can ask for return in cases when they are sent by some third party vendor. You do not understand how system works. As far as they are concerned, you cannot be contacted over phone. If they allow cancelling orders from any phone number, I can cancel anyone's order then.
I am done with this now. Stop being a desperate child.

...thank faarrrkkkk it was a public holiday. Woke up and felt like Mike Tyson had rabbit punched me for 37 rounds. Kidneys were not happy.
Spent Sunday at the club watching the Horn vs Crawford fight starting the schooners at 10:00 and finishing the last at 18:00 as we hopped on the Courtesy Bus for the trip home. Crashed into bed about 21:30 and was out.
A cup of tea, a shower and about an hour later was as good as gold and out visiting some customers I couldn't get to during the week as contracting down the city.
Up at 04:00 Tuesday morning, in the office by 06:30 and should see my first colleague a bit before 09:00. Feeling much better than I probably should.

I have a TFS account. I've checked code into the source control on it before.
Now, with VS2017, when I attempt to add a project to source control, I select the TFS option in Options, no matter what I do, VS changes it to Git and creates a local Got repo.
I don't want Git. I want TFS like I've been using. Anyone know what the deal is with this?? Any way to get VS2017 to stick to TFS?
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.

Have you checked Tools -> Options -> Source Control -> Plugin Selection?
There you can chose which source control engine you wish to use by default. Updates seem to reset this parameter for me too.

Well, in this case I think git support is installed through nuget console (at leat this is what I remember having done to get it); you could try to uninstall git support/restart vs and see what is the outcome.

You are welcome. Even if I am not sure at all it will work; VS can become so nasty sometimes...

I had precisely the same problem however I do not know the exact steps to redirect to TFS but it was done on the navigation panel through the connection manager I think.
As an aside when I went back to vs2015 I have a corrupted add in screwing up my source control.

I guess I will find out the results by next week or so?
I marked this as a Praise because without CodeProject, I am not sure I would have come up with this idea of mine back in 2003 (Which I also swapped two emails with Marvin Minsky about at that time, he sent me some snippets of his unpublished book via email). This patent I applied for is based off the article I wrote way back then[^].
I don't know what you all think (yes Marc Clifton, it took me long enough, not sure if you remember the emails we swapped back then of interesting conversation) but much of what I wrote, reading it over again, has become true in the AI field. I think it is still missing Jungian theory intigrated into some cognitive software. Thank you, and all CPians, so much for your CP work and support coding hobbiests and researchers like myself.
I decided to try for my dreams in life recently because no one else will achieve them for you.
Once when you surround yourself with wonderful, successful, and clever people, anything is possible, imo. I have seen my best friend achieve one of her dreams recently and I say "I want my dreams too!"

Yes. That is about to begin shortly. I have spoken to a handful of knowledgeable people and attended one day at the recent Global AI conference here in Seattle and received great feedback, which I think is a good thing. I need all the advice I can get thanks!
The odds are against me but still exciting and new to me.
