Jkulin Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I had the same thing, I bought what I thought was a genuine copy for £1600, turns out the company were con artists and I now have to pay £48.99 a month for the full version, I was not happy and reported to Action Fraud and they said there was nothing they could do about it.

tooth_dr Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I was surprised to see that they are offering monthly subscription at £10 per month that includes large cloud storage too. This is for PS and LR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryMcK Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yes I paid for the £10 a month Creative Cloud Photography plan that give 20GB cloud space - I don't use that part. It was slightly (haha) cheaper for annual - with VAT it was £119.21. A saving of 79p! I might be able to buy a tiny Mars bar with the $$$$ I've saved. CC Photography gives Photoshop and the always useful Bridge (cept both still won't open FIT files), LR, LR Classic, something called XD (dunno what that is), Premiere Rush (no idea what that is either) and Fresco (New Power for the paintbrush) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
symmetal Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Yes, I pay £9.98 a month for full Photoshop CC along with the extras Terry mentioned above. I don't mind paying that as I use it for a lot more than astro stuff. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch! £1600! Frankly I'm disgusted Action Fraud can't do anything about it. What's the point of them? I can understand they can't do anything about your specific case maybe, but in general if the company are selling something fraudulently shouldn't AF be doing something to get the company shut down or whatever. Are they still advertising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
