I've got a person at an auction site I have been dealing with for a couple of years now with no trouble (OTHER THAN REGULAR COMM.) Now He has sold me Five ILLEGAL copies of win XP Pro. I bought 1 at first and it was legal. The other ones are all stolen numbers according to MS. Now, i'm "MAD AS HELL" , Broke as Sh*# , and can only hope for JUSTICE (HA!). He claimed to be a fellow cruncher but I have never seen him post. Of course I sat in the corner for years just watching and learning. I'm "MAD AS HELL" at me. (Spelled IDIOT ME) Seti has problems they get right sooner or later, I Think (Danger, Danger) I'm FLOCKED! KICKING Self Real HARDDD! Jim S. |-( I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.) |

Turn him in... M$ I think would be interested in his dealings. |

Here is a story about getting a free replacement copy if you turn in the pirated one. It does sound like a long shot though. (mcpmag.com) |

Remember the old saying, "You get what you pay for." I'm sure the Ferangii have a quote some where in the Book of Aquisition. Account frozen... |

Remember the old saying, "You get what you pay for." From the Book of Acquisition Rule 001 » Once you have their money, you never give it back. Rule 017 » A contract is a contract is a contract - but only between Ferengi Rule 019 » Satisfaction is not guaranteed Rule 039 » Friendship is temporary; profit is forever Rule 069 » Ferengi are not responsible for the stupidity of other races. Rule 082 » The flimsier the product, the higher the price Rule 099 » Trust is the biggest liability of all Rule 105 » Don't trust anyone who trusts you Rule 107 » A warranty is valid only if they can find you |

Turn him in... Don't forget to report him to the auction site, who will likely cut him off and cooperate in the investigation that M$ would launch. Stewie: So, is there any tread left on the tires? Or at this point would it be like throwing a hot dog down a hallway? Fox Sunday (US) at 9PM ET/PT |

Well, so far since posting I checked the link (THANKS StokeyBob) at M$ and it said amnesty ended 7/31/05. Also have recieved rude E-mail from an INSULTED seller(SURPRISE,SURPRISE). So since this is a holiday weekend I'll have to wait until Tuesday to speak to a real person at M$, as the sale was in August. Wish me luck ("Jim's Luck, It takes him by the hand and leads him through life," as pointed out by friends & family..). I'm probably "Porked" as usual. {:-{ KRAPPppp... And I'm one of the kind of people who expects to be treated like I treat others (SUCKER). So much for trust. Thanks, Jim S. I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.) |
