Okay, I've been scammed.

Now you can all laugh at me, but ag, anyways...

I have been looking for a legal Windows XP Pro x64 version for a while, so I found a guy (via Gumtree) that had it and was selling it (he is in JHB) so I e-mail him and he calls me and tells me it's fully legal etc, comes with everything.

So I pay and he couriers it the same day.

It arrives, without a damn license key!

I have e-mailed him requesting it, called him, SMS'd him.

NOTHING! :mad:

Anyways, live and learn I guess eh!

Now...

Anyone who can help me with a legal key for Windows XP Pro x64 please PM me. :(

I plan too!

I have his details (all of it) just waiting to give him a chance to reply!
It's only been today, but when you consider that prior to the deal, he called me, replied fast to e-mails etc, now nothing - typical scam of cause, but I took a chance because I really wanted this.
 
Come on man tell us how much :p, please tell me under 400 bucks :p

Being scammed is not embarrassing, it happens to thousands on a daily basis.
 
O well remember one thing gdi, do not buy anything from anyone that you do not know unless it's on COD basis.

See what you buy from dodgy okes. Even so the cd key may have been in use which is not a problem but i have one rule i never buy second hand software, i download it new for free :p

Nope windows 64 bit xp was fantastic until you wanted to install printers and scanners :p, driver became a bit of an issue far more so than vista and windows 7 64 bit, it's fine but for a long time i could not use it because my scanners and printers had no drivers.
 
I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know!!!!!!!!!!

But I took a chance and see where it got me!
 
Open a case with the police and also forward all his details to the BSA. CC him while you are at it.
 
Yeah well :(

If anyone can help... please PM me (legal CD Keys please)

I know I'm asking for a needle in a haystack, but yeah...

I'm willing to pay if the 'key' works.
Like... I have the CD, but I just need a legal working key, would prefer if it comes from someone who has it, but doesn't plan to use it anymore - even if they not going to sell it.

i might be able to buy one from a supplier if they still stock it, which i could check tomorrow. afaik its not going to R500 though; suppose i could SS it to you with insurance- if you really really want it and its availible.

no promises though.

..why not just go vista or windows 7 64 ?, i had xp64 for a while (no you cant get my msdn keys for it) and vista was better in the end, well apart from the games that did really not work on vista.
