Default Professional trading software

Professional trading software
After communicating with them via e-mail, I sent them money by Western Union to ALEKSANDR KHALYAVKA in KIEV, UKRAINE.
It has been over two weeks and no response from them.
Have I been had?
Do I have any recourse?

Default Trading software

I think there is a chance you may well have been caught by a scam. I have checked the sellers site out. What you were expecting to buy was a collection of software programes burnt onto a set of C.D's, these are normally legitimate programes that have been 'cracked' . Cracked software means that the programme has not been activated with the vendors licence key, but by another means. On the site they use the word 'cracked' too, the other things that should ring alarm bells are:
Legitimate software developers normally only sell their own software, never a collection from various developers on a C.D set
There is no https page, (encrypted) so it is not possible to pay online
The site mentions paying by Western Union or Money Gram (both untraceable)
No mention of an online update, there is an 'update' C.D
If you do not receive the C.D set I doub't if there is anything that you can do, as what you were almost certainly buying was pirated software. In addition the site stated that the software was 'cracked'
