    It is becoming more and more apparent that FAKE or COUNTERFEIT software downloads of mainly Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Office 2016 are being sold via EBay and other well known major online companies. We have seen both being offered - it will be you who lose out (not them), if you buy them, they will take your money and the product may only last a few weeks to a few months. Software piracy is illegal!
