This web site is hosted on a home computer on a North Carolina Roadrunner cable connection, which is in violation of Roadrunner's service agreement, I believe. But I wouldn't be surprised if the owner of the computer doesn't even know the web site is there: his computer has probably been compromised with a trojan or worm and hacked into by whoever is really behind "oem-box.biz". The domains oem-box.biz and oem-cd.biz (the "contact us" email address) are registered in Russia, but the owner probably isn't within 2000 miles of Russia - he's almost certainly in the U.S. There's no phone or physical mailing address on the web page. They want your credit card number. Do you really think it's a good idea to give it to them? I've sent a note to Roadrunner. With luck they may tell the owner of the PC in North Carolina that he's been rooted and get him to fix his computer. Maybe. Don't know if this is a scam to sell pirated software or just a scam to get credit card numbers... -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
