XLN Addictive Keys for $20???

Surely this isn't legit right? http://www.ioffer.com/i/xln-audio-addictive-keys-vsti-plugin-for-windows-57XXXX408

Edit by Karyn : Correct, this is not legit.

    It all looked legit until I scrolled down the page and saw Omnisphere, Trillian, complete Waves collection and Cubase all listed for $20 each. I doubt very much that this is a legitimate source.
     
    UPDATE: I did a little checking, and it seems iOffer is an eBay type operation except that unlike eBay they don't ask any questions of their sellers, nor do they take any responsibility for making sure you actually get what you ordered. The actual sellers are known only to iOffer, and may be nothing more than an email address in Nigeria.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    I don't believe that this is legit.
    I ordered the Waves All Plugins Bundle For Windows & Mac Osx.
    When it is sent I will tell everyone how it worked out.
    I can always get my money back from paypal.

    Thanks Dave, I guess the thieves are getting more clever...fortunately they're still dumb enough to put some ludicrous claim that sends up a red flag.
     
    When it is sent I will tell everyone how it worked out.
     
    Please do Danny and good luck!

    That had warez written all over it. Reminds me of this Russian based site that used to offer software at ridiculous prices, but gave a somewhat plausible story of distributing oem software for computer builders. My curiosity got the best and I recieved a package similar to dan.

    Waves mercury for 20 bucks. There's just no way and I bet they sell about 10000 of them. Hope everyone who installs it gets some sort of virus.

    Under the terms of the CoC I'm locking this thread and editing the OP link to break it.

    I'm leaving it visible purely as a warning for people that this is not a legitimate offer.
