		<description>I bought something on that website through their ECPSS payment gateway.&lt;br&gt;In my opionion, they ECPSS have a good customer service, and they responded me in time and at the same time they helped you to get my refund.&lt;br&gt;I appreiated it very much.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They ECPSS also protect customer's personal information. &lt;br&gt;I will go on pay money via their company.&lt;br&gt;It is very convenient to use.</description>

		<description>Disqus is a better commenting system, it allows you to log in with services like Facebook to send comments. You can also easily share blog posts you find on most of the social networking sites. And you don't have to keep registering with different sites if they are using Disqus :-)</description>

		<description>Don’t touch this company! The software that they sell is at best not licensed for use in the UK and secondly I have been caught out by buying Microsoft Office Professional 2007 software from them only to find out from Microsoft UK that it is not genuine. My advice go to a reliable reseller based in your own country or if you want to buy online go to Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com. At least you will have some recompense if everything goes pear shaped.

See my Microsft Counterfeit Report:

How did you acquire Office 97 Professional?
Where did you make this purchase?: Web site 
Was your product pre-installed on your computer?: No 
Reseller's Information
Company Name: Big Soft
Country: China 
Reseller's Phone: +86-18939704773 
Reseller's E-Mail: &lt;span class="mh-plaintext"&gt;&lt;a href='http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=0139unRoYqhf1Yj-qG6lbJkg==&amp;c=u612KZfdt5z16fCZccJplQ==' onclick="window.open('http://mailhide.recaptcha.net/d?k=0139unRoYqhf1Yj-qG6lbJkg==&amp;c=u612KZfdt5z16fCZccJplQ==', '', 'toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,location=0,statusbar=0,menubar=0,resizable=0,width=500,height=300'); return false;" title="Click here to reveal this address"&gt;EMAIL ADDRESS IS PROTECTED&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 
Reseller's URL: Microsoft Office 2007 Professional | BigSoftSale.com | Buy Discount Software | Discount Software 
Website Name: 
Auction Website: 
Reseller Username: 

Software Information
Did you receive a CD with the purchase?: Yes 
Was the CD a hologram CD?: Yes 
Did you recieve a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) with the purchase?: Yes 
Was the COA affixed to the outside of your PC case?: No 
Price Paid: £89.95 
Purchase Date: 2/3/2010 
Counterfeit Description: This company appeared to be genuine. It had what looked like a properly constituted website. It came up at the top of the page on a Google search option – see below - website with a number of authentications e.g. BBB accredited business the VeriSign secured website etc. Microsoft Office Professional 2007 Full Version Microsoft Office Professional 2007 FULL VERSION [Office Profeesional 2007] - £89.95 : Microsoft Office 2007 Professional | BigSoftSale.com | Buy Discount Software | Discount Software 

However, it was only after I purchased the order that I realised that something might be wrong, the tone of language used etc. 

I work as a national freelance journalist. Also the promised delivery time of 48 hrs was never met - the software arrived after 14 working days - the link that it gave to its courier company was broken and then on further investigation I found out from an IT blog Issues with softatlantic / softwarediscountzone - Page 18 - AVForums.com that BigSoft Microsoft Office 2007 Professional | BigSoftSale.com | Buy Discount Software | Discount Software was a China-based company and that there were reported suspicions that it was selling pirated software.</description>

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don’t touch this company! The software that they sell is at best not licensed for use in the UK and secondly I have been caught out by buying Microsoft Office Professional 2007 software from them only to find out from Microsoft UK that it is not genuine. My advice go to a reliable reseller based in your own country or if you want to buy online go to Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com. At least you will have some recompense if everything goes pear shaped.</p>
