If you click on the link, it will show what looks like a legitimate site. Click on testimonials and see the garbage on there.
There are people who state things like "AT FIRST I COULDN'T FIND THE LINK" or "THE SOFTWARE WAS NOT WORKING AND IS RUBBISH, BUT YOUR SITE IS GREAT AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE" or words to the effect of. Also, in between the software lines are some real poetic lines!!!!!

Remember this is fake this is fake this is fake. Do NOT buy.

Edit: Sorry about the link, it wouldn't mask unless i seperated letters!! Smile

Edit number two.

1.There is no way to contact this site besides being a subscriber and e-mailing from the site. No telephone numbers, no address.

2.The testimonials are badly worded by people from the UK and/or States with English sounding names. They sound very laddish.

3.The prices are ridiculously cheap.

4.By typing the link or clicking on the link, it redirects you to somewhere slightly different.

5.The terms and conditions for refunds and the majority of the language used is VERY ambigous.

6.This came into my special e-mail box that catches 'certain' e-mails.

7. And more importantly, i just got another e-mail with different sender, different website, same crap. Same layout, same testimonials etc.

can report to http://www.bsa.org/usa/

and contact list for individual companies (microsoft, etc) here http://banspam.javawoman.com/report3/piracy1.html

My experience has been that Microsoft and the other biggies are pretty quick to get those sort of things taken down. Of course, mileage may vary.
