Scamming - Fraud
The website Appsute located at appsute.com, which claims to sell Microsoft Windows, Office other software license keys is untrustworthy. The keys they are selling for Microsoft Windows and Office software are ridiculously low compared to what they are selling for on Microsoft's website. And, the keys may only work for a short period because Microsoft will deactivate them once they have detected them as invalid.

The website claims AppSute has been around since 2008 (11 years), but their domain or website name was registered 6 months ago.
"AppSute has been around since 2008. Our company started out with a small store in Rapid City, SD, specializing in computer hardware. Gradually and by the requests of so many of our customers, we extended our reach to serve our customers with most of their computer needs and decided to expand our business by adding software to our product list as well..."
And, I was unable to find them at the physical address they have listed on their website.

My elderly father "ordered" a windows 10 update for his old computer. When he told me about the $46.83 purchase I immediately became suspicious as I had paid $139.00 for the update from a trusted on line store. I advised him NOT to do the download until I could so some research. Everything I found indicated a scam, I contacted two different tech experts and neither had heard of AppSute, nor had the tech community I asked on facebook. I wrote a letter asking for a refund of the monies sent and sent the letter via usps to: AppSute 1415 N. Lacrosse St.Rapid City, SD 57701I got this information off their website. We received the letter back from the post office with a yellow sticker return to sender insufficient address with a second yellow post office label manual proc req. this showed return to sender not deliverable as addressed unable to forward. I have tried multiple times to call the company - 1-855-523-7883 at different times of the day and night. The phone goes straight to a voice mail with options 1-3. None of the options work, you are unable to leave a message and the phone eventually hangs up on you, the caller. PLEASE FOLKS, DON'T FALL VICTIM LIKE MY ELDERLY FATHER DID. this is sad that people actually think its ok to scam others.
My name is Pedro M, I order windows 10 home on February 18, 2020, order # 197873. I like to know what happened...
Paid by credit card & received an email with instructions but NO key code. Credit card company refunded the charge. DO NOT deal with this site.
I was scammed after purchasing Office 365. The product key was invalid. I contacted Microsoft and they confirmed. I hope the credit card company will refund.
Take the time to read the reviews-- particularly the "bad" ones. Obviously all written by the same non-english-fluent person. (And none bad).
Thank you for your comments. I checked the reviews and noticed had badly written they were. There were too many reviews with the same date. You saved me from spending money.
