Microsoft
Apple
Adobe
Nero
Micromedia (Offshoot of adobe)
AVG
Limewire, Bearshare, uTorrent
Epson

is that

We download Microsoft, Apple, Adobe, Nero, Micromedia (sic), AVG using Limewire, Bearshare, uTorrent then print adress labels on an epson printer & Use Virgin Media as our lovely fast broadband connection for the downloads?

Microsoft windows 98 comes with original disc and key (so by implication the others don't) they will sell you ANY film for £5 and there's no contact address anywhere on the site. They charge vat but cannot be found on a company house search. Yeah, they sure look legit!!

NO NO NO!

Please let me know who they are, and I'll get someone to shut them down, I work for one of the names metioned and we have never and will never sell on Ebay!

Good job Andy, I'm sure Mohammed Madeem will be peed off, this type of thing gets right up my back.
I see he has 8 positive feedbacks, but he has been the buyer everytime.

Are you able to force them to shut their own site down or just their E-Bay shop?
BTW Anyone know the costs involved in setting up an e-bay shop? would it be easy enough for them to simply start another e-bay shop?

He's still there. Interested to know what happens & how quickly blatant rip offs like this are shut down
