I was ripped off, now they're BACK!!

Got email for Windows ME, 98, 2000, etc.....for a really low price, so ordered ME, and never got anything. The site disappeared about 3 days after I ordered. Now, I got an email for Adobe Photoshop(?) for $50, and it's nearly the same address as I recall, the site has no email, only the order info, then they contact you for Paypal....here is the address, does anyone know how to trace it?? BTW, DO NOT ORDER!!http://photo11.ezbiz.to/

Maybe this is why:

*This offer is meant to be a backup of the owner's original, retail product. This service is provided for you under the U.S. Code section 117 that allows every software owner to have one copy of their software to protect their investment from scratches or loss of original CD. This CDR backup copy of Office 2000 Premium Edition is an exact copy and functions as if it were the original CD. This requires no special products or applications to utilize so your investment will be completely safe.

You're paying for illegal software; you're not making a backup of your legally owned software, you're paying $50 on a promise of a copy of it burned from some unknown.

Just looking at the site and the "Order Here" page screams "warning..warning...".

I just ordered 5 with bogus info and my order went through...you are right...no way to contact them and these are backup copies and not the original as you can see by the disclaimer at the bottom of the page...someone should let whoever is hosting thier web page know

[codybear]

guess she said it better than I...if its too good to be true then it probably is

The link is already dead. I was going to forward it to the Software Police!
