Windows XP Pro OEM

[Guest]

Recently I have been receiving emails about purchasing Windows XP Pro OEM
CD's at reduced prices. The software is shipped from eastern europe. The only
thing that is calimed about this software is that no technical support is
offered with it. Any information about or input about these offers would be
appreciated. Could this be pirated software? Thanks

Duh?
Could software being sold at 80% off retail prices, from the
former Soviet bloc be pirated? Is the Sun hot? Are sharks
dangerous? Is spam profitable? Is it more profitable if
the product is stolen? Is it even more profitable if they
just take your money and don't ship anything at all?

I would be more worried about whether or not you'll see anything at all for
your money.

If they send you anything for your money I bet it doesn't come with a valid
key that allows it to be activated. In which case it's worth about $1 or
less. How much do you pay for CDR's?

It is a scam. You might get a copy of a pirated CD. More likely money
goes from credit card in exchange for nothing.

Actually, if you were to clicked the links provided and then read
the site's self-contradictory,broken English "FAQ," you'd probably
have known it was a scam. Full OEM CDs that are full retail versions
that are legal as backup media? Shipped from eastern Europe? All CDs
shipped with the serial number included in a text file? Definitely
not legitimate CDs.

Those people who have reported back here after making purchases
from several of such web sites have indicated that what they actually
received was a copy of the widely-known-to-be-pirated Volume Licensed
version of WinXP Pro. They couldn't even install SP1 without being
informed that the had an invalid Product Key. And then there were the
mysterious charges that started appearing on some of their credit cards....

Could this be pirated software? Thanks

How could it possibly be anything else?
