BreakDice - Questionable Behavior

[TheAllusionist]

This is not an attempt at deformation of character, just a warning based on my experience with someone going by the name of Hany J. Hayek working for and representing a company called Breakdice. I wanted to report this rather than keep my mouth shut out of embarrassment or fear of causing controversy, in an effort to try and save others from financial loss. From the start I knew that this could happen, it was a calculated risk, I learned my lesson

A gentleman going by the name Hany J. Hayek (contact@breakdice.com) is offering some software at different forums. I responded to what I was told was a full unregistered commercial seat of a particular program. After exchanging e-mails verifying that it was a full unlicensed seat not tied to any upgrades or maintenance agreements. I decided to take a chance and sent payment to them via wire transfer for the software I was assured was legitimate and that I would get a receipt and a letter from the seller stating that it was a legitimate transaction.

When the package came it contained a home made DVD and case that included a crack and no letter or receipt. Of course this is useless to me, but I wanted to report it so that hopefully others won't waste their money on illegal software. I will include the information below, for others reference due to the fact that is easy for a company to change their name, but a lot more work to relocate. Their website was up during this time and they had a good sized body of work and clients list, but it is now down for supposed update and non of my e-mails have been responded to for a while.

I have seen this individual offer software for sale on various sites and forums and thought I would give a warning. 'Buyer be Warned!' as the Romans use to say
