Beware of offers to buy Win 7 product keys

A guy in China advertises heavily on the Internet and claims he can sell you WIN 7 product keys and product keys to all other Microsoft products for around $10. It is a scam, since the product keys are merely "trial" keys that automatically expire in 30 days. Trial keys are authentic and readily available directly from Microsoft, but once used they cannot be used again. The email name this guy uses is xiaoling147zhu

He probbly has several dozen email names.  That's the way the scam usually works.

I agree that the guy in China is scamming people in the United States with offers to sell Microsoft Product Keys for around $10. Unfortunately, by the time you realize the key won't work beyond 30 days your money is gone, and there is nothing PayPal can do to get it back.

 

So BEWARE--an offer that seems too good to be true probably isn't true.
