Has anyone ever heard of these. They're selling Adobe software for a worryingly low price.

Too good to be true?

One good review and 5 bad at this site

Well, looking at the site review comments - doesn't look like they're selling anything - just taking the money! If you google the email address that is registered for the domain - you'll find a bunch of porn sites are registered to the same email!
