Microsoft Office for less? Is it genuine?

Hi guys!
Was looking to buy Microsoft Office, and I found some offers for 3-10 GBP, are they genuine? Is it even possible?
Or it is just a scam?
Do you know any good place where to buy a MS Office in decent price?
Many thanks!

MS 365 is a subscription service, so I don’t know what you get from that site.
Unless you need to collaborate with other MS Office users, then have a look at LibraOffice which is free to download.

Not so much a scam as selling used or corporate licences. I used to get genuine copies with discs of previous versions that had previously been in use on corporate machines which had been wiped. There is always the chance that MS could cancel the licence as it is being used outside of the T&Cs, whether they really care or not is another matter.Why do you need "Office" ? There are plenty of "Nearly Office" programs out there that are genuinely free.2

I recommend Softmaker Free Office if you're interested in an alternative to the troublesome MS Office.

They both offer 180 day 'warranty periods', which I'd assume means they'll provide you a new key should the account be deactivated within this window, after which it's tough luck if your account gets shut down.
I use Microsoft 365 for our business and am not aware of any way to buy a lifetime subscription. I would assume that no key purchased from these websites would truly last indefinitely.Know what you don't1
