$2300 off, and no manual/box. I'd have to guess bold pirates.
Those Brazilians are so crazy.

Aha, Brazilians? The faq on the site says:

Where does this software come from?
The software is shipped from Eastern Europe.
And since Eastern Europe has the reputation for producing good pirated copies of software, that made a lot of sense...

Q: I have problems installing Windows XP Pro Service Pack (Office XP Pro Service Pack)
Gee, I wonder why anyone would have trouble installing the XP service pack... oh, right, Microsoft blocks popular pirated XP keys from installing the SP's.
You really think so? :P
But they are so nice to offer you a service pack that you can download from their site ;)
Further poking provided me with the following info:
1. They ask you to enter a Credit Card number on a non-SLL connection.
2. When you get to the confirmation screen during the checkout process, there is an actual domain listed oem-cdroms-order.com
3. They use ecashpay.com to process the cards.
4. Using a bogus CC number did not return an error.
I wonder if I'll get my CD ::)
Incase you do, tell us. ;)

Retail price: $270.99
Our low Price: $200.00
You Save: $220.00
Hmm, $270.99 - $200.00 = $220.00?
What's the cheapest CD they sell? $9.95? Still a little expensive to try just for the heck of it...
Ha if you don't and they threaten you because of faking Credit Card Numbers, they can't do anything cause they arent' doing anything legal themselves. Kind of interesting, scamming the scammer.
