Software...... Is it too good to be true?

[AtomicRex]

I'm looking at buying some new software for my new Sony Viao

The items in question are
Adobe CS4 Master Collection
Solidworks 2009

I have found various places that sell them, the CS4 is very cheap on eBay....and from the guys feedback looks genuine enough.

I came across this though....and being the cynic I am....is this too good to be true?

I don't need manauls....a good book will do the same job, but the savings are huge!!

Can't even see them as Vodafone are blocking acces to those links (not a good sign), however if you're asking "is this too good to be true" then the answer is almost certainly "yes".

All details for the domain registration point to Russia...and the hosting is in the Czech republic.

enough said then!

I have searched on google for them....and cant find anything bad said against them.....but likewise nothing good.

Re: Any experience with the shop Authorised Software Reseller ?
QUOTE ""Authorized Software Resellers" are not authorized by anybody but
themselves. Just ask any major software vendor and they will tell you this is
yet another illegal pirated software operation promoted through spam. The low
prices are just a trap to have you reveal your credit card details. And that
would be a most stupid thing to do, wouldn't it. Even if they didn't rip you
off, would you really install a program you got straight from criminals,
together with all the malware and trojan horses it's bound to contain?"

I cant believe they are thieves though....it says Authorised Software Resellers at the top of their website....must be true, wonder if they have a wikipedia page....that always tells the truth!

Now where are those emails I got saying all of my bank accounts details need updating since some muppet has lost my details!?

Try this lot..

I've purchased Adobe software from there before, cheaper than most others and it's boxed products.

lol 2 grand for the Master Collection and this place are claiming 80% off and selling it for $300!
The cheapest price on Pricegrabber for it was about 1800.

Is this for a course or a business?
