WholeSalePCStuff.com

Has anyone bought ms xp pro software from WholeSalePCStuff.com & if you did, did it work ok.

Are they legit. Or did I just get scammed.

Re: WholeSalePCStuff.com

Well it looks like crap to me dude, It has a page rank of 2 which is ok but makes it look suspiciose, When you brought it did it connect to a HTTPS? if not then you were probably scammed, to check if it did just look in the address bar were it says http:// a "S" is added when its a secure connection if it is a scam i don't think they would bother with it. But say if it wasn't a fake website then what did you do with your xp pro disk? how did you install it etc?

In future always stick with mainstream online retailers, I shop at amazon mostly

Re: WholeSalePCStuff.com

I would, never buy anything off a place like that, cancel it and buy it from a more legit site

4. What do I get when I order something from you?
You get CDR(s) with the software on it in an envelope. You also get the activation key, serial number or CD key necessary to activate the software. You do not get a COA.

I think I'd steer clear.

If it sounds too good to be true, it often is.
