CD Cheap

Feb 27, 2004 2:21AM PST

Has anyone purchased software from CD Cheap (url: http://www.greatsoftprices.biz/good/index.html#)? I have received numerous emails from this web site and the prices for top name software is very inexpensive. The site claims the low prices are due to OEM software, but that it is the full version just without the retail box, book and support.

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

I wouldn't advise buying anything from this company.

The old saying of "when it looks too good to be true...." Well in this case I'd heed words of caution.

The owner of this web site along with the several other web sites are not only out of Russia but the mailing address listed in a couple of them is in New York with a street address that doesn't exist (a legit company isn't going to register with a fake address). If you run a few searches you'll also come across several web sites where they are being reported for piracy and spam.
