Microsoft Software Key

[yogasun]

Has anyone had experience of the site
Microsoftsoftwarekey.com ?

My son ordered a product key which should be sent by email notification within 24 hours last Thurs. Nothing has arrived and no response to emails. Money has been taken by Paypal. Site seems genuine (?)
Any information/advice?

Why do you say the site looks genuine?

Why would you order a microsoft key from someone other than Microsoft?

The site is registered in China

Thanks Jake

My son ordered it without checking with me. You're right, silly move on his part.
Kiss the money goodbye and live and learn.
Thanks for the information.

Can you try reversing the payment in Paypal?

[jake-the-peg]

Yup - just looked

I guess there's a reason they're selling product keys for 20 bucks eh?

I have a 17 year old son too

Still with a bit of luck it'll be a cheap lesson in not trusting on-line deals that are too good to be true!

Looked into that squarebear but I think the rules say that it only applies to things sent through the post :0(
Will check again. Thanks anyway.

Under the "contact us" part of the site it say:

"Contact Us

A few words about the approximate shipping time or your processing policy would be put here.

This section of text is from the Define Pages Editor located under Tools in the Admin."

A flashy website is no guarantee of a genuine one.

Incidently if you put a .com website address in here you'll get the registrant information

http://domains.whois.com/

that'll give you some idea about whether it's in Chingford or China

Will try PayPal resolution anyway, you never know!
Thanks both of you, much appreciated.

Thanks again jake, that is REALLY useful to know.
