Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
Softmall.co.uk seems a bit suspicious. The SiteLock security seal on their website is a fake. And, their company address seems really fishy. If you look it up on Google Maps, the address shows up as a flower shop, nothing to do with computer products. There's no way of checking out an item after you added it into your cart. Also, there are two computer boards that are under the "Uncategorized" section, which makes no sense why they're in that section and not in the "motherboards" section along with the others.

SiteLock Verification seal must be clickable, meaning, when you click on it, it goes to their website at:
This will verify if SoftMall.co.uk is safe or untrustworthy. But, the SiteLock is not able to verify or find SoftMall's website, but yet SoftMall is using a picture of their seal.
Security seals are used to help online users determine if a website is trustworthy or not. But, over the years, we have seen cybercriminals create fake seals to trick their potential victims into believing a website is trustworthy.

Only after paying you get this message:"In the Activation Wizard press "I want to activate the software by telephone" (online activation may not work, Microsoft servers can be overloaded, and may give an error that the key has already been activated, phone activation always works).Activation Wizard will show you a phone number. Please call that number - this is a FAST SIMPLE AUTOMATIC Microsoft system. Follow the instructions to activate your key."That means is a generated code key and not a legit one
Bought a download key and payment went to a company called five river service and converted into roubles. A few days later I had fraud on my bank account. Seems too coincidental to me. Would avoid this site.
I had the same, bought a download key and paid throw PayPal, converted to roubles. Traced the company to St Petersburg in Russia, had I known I would not have bought from them. I wondered why PayPal texted me before allowing it to go throw, now I know why they questioned it.
Responded immediately when inquiring (even tho mid evening) - took my money never got product or heard from them again! Telephone number always engaged
I made payment for a download key and payment was made to a company call five river service and converted into roubles for St Petersburg location.
