Default OT: Ok, what's wrong with this deal??? PhotoShop 6.0 with lots of other crap, but I can't tell

if it's legitimate. The seller is a Verified Premier Member of Paypal, but I have no idea what that means... They say its OEM and licensed, but has no manuals, etc. but I'm sure one could just buy the PhotoShop for Dummies...

Here's the email:

Here are the answers to a few commonly asked questions we receive:

How can you sell this software so cheap? It seems too good to be true - is there a
catch?

There is no catch - the software versions that we sell are OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) which means you will receive the installation CDs only (they do not come in
their original retail packing and do not include the manual). We do guarantee that all
programs are the 100% full working retail versions - no demos or academic versions! When
you order, you will receive all materials required for a complete installation - or your money
back!

Do you carry these titles for Macintosh?

Sorry, but we only carry software compatible with Windows PCs.

Can I order more than one bundle?

Due to the limited nature of this offer, only one order per customer is allowed.

Default Maybe it fell off a truck.

Probably ripped cds with a good label maker to make it look real. I'd be tempted to report this to anti-piracy groups...
