I purchased Windows XP and Office Pro XP. The return address is from Moscow on the package. I actually got the software in about 10 days. I gave it to my tech guy, he called MS and ran the info with them. They said it was good. It installed perfectly and I am using it as we speak.

There is no opt-out link. How do you get rid of them?

Spam works because there's relatively no cost associated with searching for a few buyers out of a couple million e-mail addresses. You can't track these people down by e-mail. But there is a trail you can follow--right through their 'store' to their wallet.
Here's what you do: Throw something into a check-out cart and "buy" it. Use a bogus name and a bogus address (make sure the address and ZIP code correspond--that can be checked) and then use a bogus credit card number. (For those of you who don't know how to create a fake number to get by the checkers, use M/C 5432 2345 5432 2345, with CVV 223 and Exp 12/04.) If their system is set up to work automatically (and it probably is) then they'll get dinged a small amount each time you run a bogus charge through their merchant account provider. (Me? I run 12 tabs in NS 7.0 with a shopping cart in each. I can breeze through a couple hundred 'sales' in about 15 minutes.) The NS form manager makes it easy to copy info over and over into the 'secure' form. All you got to do is cycle through the tabs over and over, costing them money. You can't do much damage alone, but if millions of people do this, it'll hurt 'em bad.
Keep pumping that "Secure Check-out" button!

I, too, was taken in by what seemed to be a good deal but the transaction was interrupted right after I had submitted my order so I never got confirmation that the order went through. I forgot about it until the item appeared on my credit card statement. I never received the product and had no way of contacting www.qualityoemsoft.biz (oemcd, inc)so I have initiated a dispute through my credit card company.

I'm feeling dumber'n dirt, right now.
See, I was in a hurry when I saw the link on hannity.com that went to the website owned by OEMCD.INC. I bit - bought. Now I'm stuck.
Have not, of course, received any product. I debit-carded the purchase from my checking account. (Yeah, I know I'm dumber'n a rock. You can't kick me any harder than I'm kicking myself.)
Today, as I wondered where my software was, it finally occurred to me to check this "company" out. Now I see from my google search, that they are software pirates with servers in Brazil, mostly, and other countries. No matter what, I don't want the software because I don't want illegal stuff. Hopefully, my bank can help.
That link on hannity.com was only there for one day, as far as I can tell, so I trusted it, since I trust Hannity. Had I not been in such a hurry to leave the office, I might have second-guessed my first instinct to take advantage of a "sale".
My questions: Could a hacker/scammer plant a link on a page for only a certain login ID to see when they log in? Could it have been done without the webmaster of that site knowing it? I just can't believe hannity.com's webmaster would not have checked this thing out before embedding a link on their website. I just don't believe they would have done such a thing on purpose. I have sent hannity's webmaster an email asking them the same things, and I hope someday I'll get a response.
But I wanted to see if others have experienced a similar circumstance.

Well, the only problem is alot of these aren't 'scammers' you get the software, and although it is pirated, you get what you asked for. I don't see why you guys are so angry about it and plan to "hack their servers" lol, I really dont care because at the websites you are talking about it, you are guaranteed to get the item, and virus free.
2004-08-20 21:23:52 -
That would be oemcd Inc

I got spammed by these guys and want to know how to get a response back to them, since the 'reply' response doesn't work. After reading the comments I see I'm not alone. Thanks

I got an email too- when I couldn't forward to my aol account I got suspicious and did a google search. Thanks for all the posts here-hopefully they won't scam too many others.

"Dominique Mendez" sent to me.
When I made to reply the following message was in the e-mail thread, although I had not seen it in the site offerings:

I received the order of Roxio7 (from streg.com) but without a licese key to run it. I have sent several emails requesting the license key with no reply. Obviously I didn't recognize it as a scam. Live and Learn!
