I get a call from a guy that says he found us on Google, and wanted to take me up on our "first month free" offer.

As I was unaware that we had any promo offering this, I asked him what search he did so I could see what he was talking about.

After putting in his search phrase "computer host first month free" I found the press release he was referring to.

In part, it states: "Got Web Host is now offering the first month free on both basic virtual hosting and SEO virtual hosting packages effective immediately and running through July 13, 2005. Additionally, the setup fees will be waived on all virtual hosting plans through July 13, 2005."

I pointed out that this was a promo from two years ago.

Him: "So, you won't give me the first month free?"
Me: "No, that was a promo that ended almost two years ago."
Him: "So, you won't honor it now?"
Me: "No, I am afraid not."

He then muttered something and hung up on me.

I am not sure I understand why someone would think that something that was offered two years ago would still be valid today.
