Premiere 6.5 selling for $25: Deal or Scam?

I was actualy looking for a downloadable demo version of 6.5 (I run Win2k, no Premiere Pro for me)...to actualy try out, not to do anything illegal with. I stumbled across the above site instead by way of a shopping search engine.

And...I dunno, it seems to good to be true. I can't find any reviews of the site on the web in spite of it's apparent vast size and it's claim of a "98% customer satisfaction rating". They list After Effects 6.5 for a similar price, although the avalibility listing in both cases says "Status unknown. We should be able to get this item for you."

Nor does the site appear to have any earmarks of a 'safe' shopping site...privacy policy, a certification logo, etc.

But..but...Premiere for $25...

They have a privacy policy but I really don't know... I've never bought anything from them before.

If it is too good to be true then it probally is. I would recommend against buying there.

I personally would never buy anything that doesn't have a picture. And even that's only the beginning, since they could just jack a photo from another website and use it as their own. :|

Don't give them any credit card numbers if you are thinking of going for it. Pay some other way!
