has anyone bought from appscd.com?

[joya]

dont buy from them, I bought a download for microsoft student 2006 and after 10 or more try"s to get the link to work I have gave up. They emailed me back but only said they were having site problems and be a few days until I could download. That was a lie. Now they wont even email me back. I shouldnt ordered without trying to check them out- my mistake. thanks Joya

If I were you I would cancel that credit card as that site is not secure. Besides, I'd say there's a good chance that the software you where trying to get was illegal anyway.

Oh, and Welcome to RR.

Don't even THINK about attempting to buy here. This is an absolute SCAM! I have been burned three times (on small tickets). They will take your money, then not send a(ny) CD or DVD's, nor reply to inquiries.

Two years ago they were legit (which is why I have tested the waters periodically in hopes that they would be functioning again), but beginning 18 months ago they went to the Devil.

I have purchased software from AppsCD.com many times over the years and have been completely satisfied with their CD's, DVD's shipping and support. That, however, has come to an end. The internet is now blocking access to their site...

more on the subject of AppsCD. over the years I bought something more than 14 CD's from them and 2 DVD's, all of which had good, useable software and any problems with the software (omitted passwords, etc) was promptly taken care of. the shipping times were often elongated as they ship from Minsk, Belarus. I believe that online access to them is presently being blocked, one way or another, and if anyone knows where their web site is now located I would greatly appreciate hearing about it.

Soory, double post. See below.

This thread states that this company sells photpshop for $15.

From appscd.com FAQ's;

We sell Full Version Software (English). All our CD's are identical copies of original and legally purchased CD's. Of course, we ship our CD's including working serials and all required information to use the product.

EDIT; Error on my part. Sorry.

Appscd sells illegal and pirated software!
I doubt that appscd is being blocked, they have more then likely been shut down.

Oh, and you might want to read our FAQ's

EDIT:
And as for your e-mail. This company is a scam. What they sold you is illegal. And if you want illegal pirated software you can get it for free on your own. So in other words they ripped you off. And as for evidence, The website is registered in Belgium with a phone number in Inmarsat. And you say that they send items from the Ukraine. Minsk is the capital of Ukraine.

Think it's time for a new keyboard.

Up to you my friend but if you're aware of anywhere else that you can get one DVD with all eleven versions of XP on it for $80 (and they work... I'm using them), let alone for free, please let me know about it. I'll add it as a "favorite".
