Is it safe to buy from this site?

Has anyone bought software from this company and is it legit?

www.discount-software-sales.com

I am interested in Photoshop CS3, and it seems to be a bargain price!

    Domain first registered eight weeks ago. No proper contact details on the web site. Not one I'd try...

    Thanks everyone. I did have my doubts about the legality of the software, so thought I would ask some experts first. Guess I was hoping it would be ok, especially as they only sell Adobe products, and not a huge variety.

    Sadly, as usual, it was too good to be true.
