    Counterfeit MS Windows 10 & Office 2016

    It is becoming more and more apparent that FAKE or COUNTERFEIT Microsoft software (downloads and some on discs) of mainly Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 2016 are being sold via eBay and other major online companies (through 3rd party sellers). We have seen both being offered at very low prices - it will be you who lose out (not them)! If you buy from them, they will take your money and the product may only last a few weeks to a few months. Often it is being taken from genuine companies and is supposed to be used for its employees, but is then being sold to anyone - the software is not supposed to be used in this manner and is rarely downloaded via the Microsoft channels, but sometimes it is - Software piracy is illegal!
  • If you take your computer into a shop for a repair and notice a very inexpensive and new installation of Microsoft Office on your computer when your next see it - ask questions and don't just accept it as a favour or a way of keeping you as a customer. Software theft is still theft!Help
