Wouldn't a 70% discount 😲 on a Microsoft product—you know, someone else's intellectual property—offered by a stranger asking for an electronic transfer, be a massive red flag rather than a "golden opportunity"? Can you honestly think of a single logical reason why such a steep markdown would exist exclusively with them and nobody else?

Thanks for the input, everyone. A special thanks to Nicholas King; that link you shared cleared up all my doubts instantly.

To answer your question: Yes, absolutely. The second I saw this "deal," my internal alarm bells started ringing. That’s exactly why I came here for advice. It turned out to be a quick and efficient way to confirm that the site was nothing but a scam.

Thanks again.

One more thing—does anyone here have any insight into Microsoft volume licensing?
Theoretically, there should be significant savings when buying five or more Office packages, but the website is being incredibly vague about what those actual savings look like.

No comment. Just... no comment.

Greetings!

I’m looking for some insight here. Does anyone have any experience or intel regarding this site where you can order software (specifically Office 2010 in this instance)? http://thesoftshops.com/?

The situation is this: I need to pick up about 8 or 9 Office packages. One of them absolutely has to be the PRO version because we have a specific piece of software at the firm that demands it. I got hung up on seeing a "70% discount" advertised. If I buy through standard channels, the total cost—including tax—is going to soar way past $2,000, which is a massive hit to the budget. However, using this particular site would represent a significant saving.

Thanks in advance!
