What we have here are not scam artists but full fledged racketeers. These people have set up shop in a permanent way. They actually are selling software that THEY intend to support, provide upgrades, and updates for. They are using "manufacturer's" property and just cutting them out of the loop. My opinion is they deserve to have interpol pay them a visit.

Don't know if it will be of any help to anyone but I found this page;

http://www.oemcd.biz/bin/ship.php?ord_id=32&qnt=1

Which shows a contact email address

[email protected]

On this site they even show a REFUND POLICY

"45 Day Money-back Guarnatee

We guarantee that the products shipped are of highest quality, and they do work. That's why we will refund your money if you are not satisfied with our product's quality.

If you are not satisfied, you may contact us WITHIN 45 days of your last order explaining your situation, and your money will be refunded back to your credit card, or by check.



Delivery Issues

In very rare cases, shipments get lost, or stolen. If you have not received the package 45 days after your order, please contact us and we will refund your money.

NO MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED PRIOR TO 45 DAYS AFTER ORDER."

All the best,

Neil.

I posted on 9/27. That I fell for the scam... but to my amazement, I did get the CD and the Serial# and I happily upgraded to XP Pro... scam or not, it looks like a hit or miss. but I am happy I took a gamble... I know some of you have lost more on a slot machine, so I happy I got a XP for $50.

Could it be that these fine folks who had no problem with oemcd, Inc, may in fact be oemcd, Inc?

I bought Win XP + Office XP for $80 from OEMCD Inc.

Got it in 6 days. All working perfectly. Did virus checks by Norton and AVP, everything is clean. Was worried a bit at first too, when emailed them, they replied within 12 hours.

Ordered Windows XP Pro Office 2002 from:

mailto:[email protected]

Paid in advance. No software no refund.

Good God. I've always wondered who the idiots were that actually order shit via spam.
Now I know.
Everyone of you morons that went to the sites and used your credit cards _deserved_ to be ripped off!
How could you be so stupid as to order from a spammer?
Common sense would tell you that it's pirated software, but you're lacking in that, so I suppose you wouldn't know that.
