 | Secure E-mail uses the
"https" system for encryption invoked automatically by using entering the
"Secure E-mail" page. You may use this means to communicate confidentially
with us. Sometimes, scanned documents and other file formats prove difficult to send
in encrypted fashion. If equipment or software compatibility at either your end or ours
makes the use of secure means unworkable, then regular e-mail is used. |
| Secure Credit Card Transmission can be done via the credit card validation process, or by way
of encrypted e-mail.
We can also accept credit card information using regular e-mail. While not as secure as
either of the other means, we have never heard of anyone actually
"burned" by interception of credit-card data on the Net. In any event,
maximum loss is usually limited by issuing banks at $50 US. If you know of any true,
verified credit-card internet horror stories, please e-mail us and let us know. |
| Netmeeting can be used if you also have it on your
computer. If you do not, you can download it via the Microsoft Netmeeting web page. With
NetMeeting, we can have live, real-time audio and/or video conferences at appointed times
- much like a face-to-face meeting between CPA and client. E-mail
can be used to schedule appointments. Keep in mind that while fairly dependable,
NetMeeting has given difficulty during times of high Internet congestion. Equipment
incompatibilities are also sometimes a problem. |
| Regular E-Mail can be used at any time to talk with us.
We endeavor to reply promptly - whether in Seattle or at a guest computer when
traveling. You are never out of touch or in-the-dark about the status of our
engagement. |
| FedEx,
Airborne
Express,
Emery Worldwide,
UPS, and
DHL all provide
overnight express services that serve Seattle, WA, and - between them - most every
medium-size and larger city (as well as some amazingly remote locations)- around the
globe. Some of these firms also provide Saturday delivery in certain areas.
For those occasions when physical forms or documents are either necessary or more
practical than any other means, these overnight express services are faster and more
dependable than most countries' postal systems. |
| Telephone and Fax
can be used when needed. The phone number at GlobalTaxHelp.Com's founder Don Walter,
CPA, is in Seattle, WA at 206-522-2003. Our fax numbers are 206-522-2004 and
206-517-8037. |
| Please know that several new long-distance services have sprung up in the past few years
with vastly lower rates worldwide. We have being using Worldxchange
(at www.worldxchange.com) since 1997 with
dependable consistency and rates of between 16 and 28 cents per minute to most major
European and Asian locations, slightly higher rates to South America. Check their web pages to see if any
of these services are available in your location. |
