There is software called "DeltaWalker" which helps you do File & Folder comparisons.
A friend of mine bought it online last night, and was supposed to receive a confirmation e-mail with the software key.
Well, the e-mail never came, and today my friend received an e-mail from some guy's Gmail account - with a Russian name - saying that the e-mail was bounced back, and to place the company's e-mail (i.e. Deltopia) on the "Email White List"?!
Apparently this e-mail included a copy of the bounced back e-mail which included the order details.
Should my friend be suspicious of using the key and installing the software??
Personally, I have tried the trial version of Deltopia in the past, and it works wonders for doing File Comparisons and Folder Comparisons, and was really handy when I wanted to compare data between disks. (I was just too cheap to buy it!)
To me, the software seems legitimate, but I agree with my friend that - at best - it seems unprofessional for a company to have to forward your Order Receipt/Software Key from someone's Gmail account?!
Seems awfully "fishy"...
(Also, why would a "legitimate" company end up on a "Spam List" by a major ISP unless they were up to no good?!)
What would you do in this situation??
Sincerely,
Debbie
