jadinolf Posted April 29, 2011 ID:422896 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Up until now I have had two licenses for MBAM Pro and thought I would treat myself to another one.Found a good price on eBay and bought it today. The seller sent me the license information by email and it worked. However, I noted that my ID for my versions purchased through Cleverbridge is XXXXX-XXXXX and the one supplied by the eBay seller is only XXXXX.Guy has a good record on eBay but should I be worried? I don't do pirate.Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noknojon Posted April 30, 2011 ID:423038 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Hi jadinolfAlso this applies to any other persons reading this topicYou should have 2 items to register your Malwarebytes copy -These are 2 items for your registration , they are a Registration Key and an ID Key -Unless both are entered (we prefer you use copy and paste as an 0 or a o may be misread) the registered version will not work -TeMerc has listed the example of configuration of one of these above -Thank You Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff TeMerc Posted April 30, 2011 Staff ID:423051 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Thanks to all for your information. As to all those who can read this thread, DO NOT buy any licenses from any sources such as eBay, Craigslist, Youtube or any such site. To the best of my knowledge, none of our affiliates, resellers or partners are permitted to sell on those types of sites.Further, Malwarebytes is not bound by any agreements which these were sold under and users will not likely get any reimbursements from Malwarebytes.All keys and IDs will very likely be blacklisted when these are discovered.

1PW Posted April 30, 2011 ID:423078 Share Posted April 30, 2011 @TeMercTom, perhaps we could start a pinned topic in "Honorary Members" for the specific purpose of reporting suspicious sightings from eBay and similar.We already have a similar pinned topic there for piracy of licenses.

I destroyed the email with the questionable info. As I said, I don't do pirate.Hope you can shut them down but you also have to take steps to change your licensing method to defeat these bad guys.avast! has completely stopped these illegitimate sales on eBay. Maybe you should talk to the folks in the Czech Republic.Anyway, enjoy the weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

noknojon Posted May 1, 2011 ID:423518 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Thanks, Gordon, but I'm out 15 bucks.For any other persons reading this, the price of the Paid version is $24.95 (with the odd 10% discount on some sites).If you are offered a paid version for less than this, chances are it is a pirate copy -Thank You Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sho-dan Posted May 1, 2011 ID:423684 Share Posted May 1, 2011 There's another way to look at this! Jadinolf, your lost is a gain for protecting future potential Malwarebytes customers from buying non-legit MBAM copies. Job well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeGuser Posted May 1, 2011 ID:423704 Share Posted May 1, 2011 Tom, there will be no refund unless corporate backs me up. It will be simply his word against mine.I am sorry for interrupting here but why don't you provide PayPal with a link to this topic/thread here . This is the official MBAM forum and since MBAM staff member says eBay sellers selling MBAM are not legitimate then this may help you with the refund.

Hello jadinolfBasically thats what TeMerc is saying in his post, just about Malwarebytes. hthThanks to all for your information.
