UPDATE Software for cheap????? Is this bogus.

[tyler811]

A friend found this website for software.


Link here


I think something is wrong. The only contact info I can find is the support email ( which I emailed to ask where they are located) but no address or phone number (No reply yet and it has been 4 hours). AaAAhhhhh found it Eastern Europe but still no number or street address, seems to me I saw this in another forum or post. Or am I wrong and do you know somebody who has bought from them. Any help or info would be appreciated Jim

I guarantee those are CD-Rs with nicely printed labels.

"Cheap Soft offers big discounts if you buy in quantity. We offer 30% discounts on all orders that exceed $2000.00 and paid by Western Union."

That right there should be enough to tell you it's a scam.

 

[vi edit]

It's one of two things -

1. Academic versions (which is illegal to resell to non-students)
2. Pirated stuff

Either way, I would question it's authenticity.

I've been receiving those emails about twice a week for the past month or so. It is tempting, for example, to be able to purchase Photoshop 7 for $39 or whatever the hell they are charging.
I have to assume they are simply burned and pirated copies.

All we need now is an address in Romania.
