Hi, 

I'm thinking of purchasing Microsoft software from fastsoftware.com.

They claim that they sell genuine Microsoft software.

Is this website selling legit Microsoft software? Can I buy Microsoft software from this website without having to worry that the product key(s) won't be deactivated by Microsoft?

This is what they have on their website, including a Microsoft Partner Number:

Run from FastSoftware.com as fast as you can. Recently attempted to purchase a Office Home and Business license and was given the old switchero and given a Professional Plus key. When I asked to have the proper key provided was given a line that Pro Plus was a

"blip with our system, professional plus is a premium version of home and business, so enjoy the free upgrade and thanks for letting us know."

If you do your research, Pro Plus is supposed to be a versions that is provided by schools and universities typically at no cost to the student.

They would not provide the correct Home and Business license. They would not refund the order.

    Just tried to purchase Office 2019 for Mac from this site.  Tried to verify the code and got the following error when following the link in their mail:

    Immediately got onto their support via webchat and got put through to 'Jack Wood' who asked for my e-mail, a screenshot of the above and a screenshot of my Microsoft services and my order number which I thought was a bit weird.  Not heard any response back from the infamous 'Jack Wood'.

    I have since called my credit card company to lodge a dispute against them once the transaction clears and will be getting my money back from them.  I am in no doubt the fraud team will initiate an investigation and shut these guys down, but they will probably pop-up again as another company offering enticingly cheap software at the third of the original price entrapping yet more people.  

    Avoid this company like the plague.  I read from another poster, that Microsoft have these guys as partners! Microsoft, how an earth can you have these guys as partners??

    This company is scam.

    Lost money, no refund, they hide from you and even hide forcibly the chat on the web once they face you.

    Their web do not have any accreditation, everything is fake.

    Also they claim to be in UK, which is a lie. 

    This case is definitive already criminal if we take into account how many people has been scammed.

    We have reported them to Police, Trusted Reviews etc.

    More steps coming.

    Buy at Microsoft's online-shop directly.

    Since the website is signed with LetsEncrypt SSL, which is free and can be used simply by anyone without to confirm the company identity - there is no proof that the company does even exist or the identity has not been stolen from someone else.

    In entire company there is one fake named person who replies everything.

    Seems to be a typical African or so scam.

    Sad is that usually you will not check everything in-depth until it is too late.

    Also sad that nobody at data center blocks this website.

    Can't understand why the Microsoft corporation and the State of NY don't file legal action as well as US Justice dept. as this is wire fraud, fraud-fraud and plain old fraud.  Have any actions been initiated?
