Price for this program is 1400$, so I assume this is scam. Also is very suspicious payment via WU. I never replied and I am writing only to warn possible victims.

The payment by Western Union/MoneyGram is a red flag. Also the word crack appears in both the email address and the first email, which would make me think that if you did get anything, you would get pirated/cracked software.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
