OEM software can't be sold without the hardware it ships with.
This has all the signs of the software scam signs.
1) Highly discounted Adobe, MS etc software (which is never sold at those prices in retail)
2) Listing OEM software
3) In the contact us section, there is never a street address or phone number. It's either an email or in 90%+ cases email us form. Would you trust buying anything else from the internet if you don't know even in which state they are based?

For the registrant, there is no city listed. Can anyone tell me how one is supposed to find a place in Russia if you only know the street name? And the country code for Russia sure isn't 495 so even the domain registrant info is invalid.
And since I see on the list of the products some specific software that should not be there, I think I will forward the domain and whois info to my company's lawyers too.
