    Is this too good to be true?

    Has anyone dealt with this Company?

    http://reed-zone.info/

    http://reed-zone.info/software.html

    The prices that they are advertising on their site are unreal, Alot lower than the COAs that I can purchase from my regular vendor.

    What do you think?

    As they post no contact or address details Id say stay well clear.

    BTW a clearly none credit card number and addy produces this interesting response:

    Sorry, but we can not process your credit card presently. We will try to process your credit card again within next 24-48 hours.

    You will receive a confirmation e-mail if we charge your credit card.

    Remember if it seems to good to be true, it usually is...

    that said, they only have software available for download, so no frilly boxes/CD's etc. which obviously saves on cost.

    I'd be tempted to buy one copy of the cheapest software and see what happens... I guess the only question then would be is the licence genuine?

    The second question would be how secure is your credit card.

    It's gonna take more than coffee to cure this one, but I'll take your advice anyways... off soon for a bacon/egg roll to see how that helps...

    I just noticed that the contact page doesn't work either.

    The simple fact that they have no contact information 'We'll contact you!' says to me 'We don't want you to know who we are or where we are.' Not the kind of practice a business trying to grow usually uses. It looks like a very nice scam site.

    [Edit] also notice the pattern in the extension: 345 345 34

    The third question would be ... where's the Certificate of Authenticity, or for those products that need it, the product ID for activation?
