Well, if you do buy something from them, you are buying it from some guy in the Russian Federation. The site is not registered to a company, but a private individual.

You do the math.

Yeah, the domain was only registered 9 days ago..

Chances are your friend "found" it through a spam he got (or you got spammed and your friend's E-Mail address was faked)...

3DX Max for a $6250 discount?

Sounds like either warez, or con-man to me - send the money, never receive a thing.

He's in Russia, what can you do to him? Nothing, and he knows it.

How do you check to see when the domain was registered?

you can search in google for a whois site, insert the domain name and you get info concerning the Domain...

Actually now the domains have to become more specific because of Ecommerce being involved.

These people have been around for a while. I know them as cdcheap.com and some of my friends know them as something else. I was going to buy from them but decided to make a post at a forum about them much like this. The bottom line is, don't do it.

Thanks you all for your advise. I think that it is now safe to say that if something seems to be to good to be true then it is!

Cheers
