I get those in my home email. Autodesk drafting software (that is about 
5K )for a hundred bucks.
I emailed them 4 times to their "customer service" and asked:
1. what's your physical address? It's not anywhee on your site.
2. If purchased without the disc (it's a download) and we need tech 
assist, do you give a serial number so we can talk to Autodesk (Autocad) 
for help?
3. Are these legitimate legal versions?
I never got a reply. I re-emailed 4 times.
Since there is no physical addy, all you can do is email them your C 
card info and hope. You have no person to talk to. They could be in 
Bosnia for all we know.
There is no free lunch...Too good to be true is probably too good to be 
true.
These "Phish" emails from South Trust bank asking you to log on and 
"verify" your personal bank info has all the logos and such in their 
email. Looks OK....Right.
