Whirlwind Software?

[Todd Kopriva]

There is no such thing as OEM versions of Premiere Pro or other Adobe Creative Suite software.

Anyone who says otherwise is scamming you.

Feel free to point such people to me if they would like to rebut that statement.

BTW, we sell the software without the box, discs, et cetera, too. You can download the software when you order, rather than getting a disc sent to you in a box.

I don’t understand how someone can claim that not sending you the disc or box saves much; that is not the expensive part of the software development and sales process.

Yeah, well it must be nice to be able to afford it from Adobe!
After reading their explanation of how they can offer the stuff, it sounded legit last night. After giving it more careful thought, I realize now that I was scammed!

I have no idea how to help you to get your money back. That is waaaaay outside of my area of expertise, and not my business.

Well, Are you going after them for selling the software the way they claim? At the very least, I’d like to think they can be shut down.

I’m in Technical Support, not the Legal department. I’ve sent a link to this thread to our piracy group, but there’s nothing more that I can do.

Contact your credit card company (or PayPal if that’s what you used)immediately and tell them of the fraud.

That should save you your money. Banks don’t like fraudulent software sites either.
