Eye-opening Items?? Whirl Wind Software

by jayjay4711

Received an email from a mob called Eye-opening Items. They are offering ridiculous prices for software - one example - CS5.5 Master Collection, they sell for around $2,500 in the shops etc., but they are offering to sell for $168.00 - CRAZY
If you click on the product, it takes you to Whirl Wind Software website:confused:.

Has anyone heard of this company? It just seems too good to be true to me, (yes I know, I'm a skeptic).

Any info you can supply, I would be truly grateful. JayJay

    I had heard of systems like this previously, but they were selling hacked software or not delivering the actual purchase, and they were doing it to phish credit cards.

    Beware.

    Give the URL to Adobe and ask if they are legitimate resellers. You already know the answer, but Adobe is really good at getting sites taken down.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

      Thanks for the answers - I guessed it was too good. Will definitely contact Adobe and see what happens - thanks guys.

    There are loads of sites on the net that pretend to be official suppliers of various software, but in reality are selling the stuff illegally.

    I was recently looking for a place to pick up a cheap copy of MS Office. One site I found looked very official and branded itself as a Canadian company with Canadian contact details and a photo of a swish looking office.

    The method of software delivery and low price was very suspicious, so I did a little digging and found the site was operated out of one of the Eastern European countries (can't remember which one).

    Usual adage, if it looks too good to be true, then it probably is.
