The "giveaway" (pun intended) for me is the first sentence from the screenshot:

You need software, but don't want to pay high retail price's.

That kind of grammatical error is a red flag, in my opinion. Nice detective work, scancode  :Thmbsup:

PaladinMJ:
the way these sites operate is that they send you for example photoshop cs3 cd/dvd but without the serial numbers or registration codes, as they are sold as backup copies. So in essence you are paying $60+ for a backup copy of software you supposedly already own. and that is the only way these copies are legal.
