Are online shops screened by Adobe?

I was wondering if there is some kind of screening of vendors who offers Adobe Products. I found shops with prices that are unbelievable low. Why would someone pay $1899 for Suite if it`s available for as low as $898 (VMShops), $1,099 (Amazon third party vendor), ComuterSoftwarePlus.com (The same Suite, but 3 different prices $989, $1,279 & $1,398).I hope, I`m not doing wrong by giving URLs here. I`d rather be sure that people don`t get screwed and better buy from approved vendors.I cannot say anything about above shops as I have never dealt with them. I found on PriceGrabber. If somene can shade some light on this. Adobe Team, please

Adobe has has a page to report piracy http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/antipiracy/reportform.html

I have never made such a report, but I will **guess** you could report a vendor you suspect of selling pirated programs

Thanks. The link brings me to Error page. Anyway, in order to report one need to have a proof. Without buying and losing money it would be difficult :/

I think third parties on Amazon with over 35 positive reviews have legit software.

Unless the resellers provided those positve reviews...

Good luck,

I'm not a member of the Adobe team, but I learned many decades ago to carefully avoid any software offer that looks too good to be true.

I agree. However what makes me wonder, that they have a lot of these on the website and I couldn`t find anywhere, anything wrong while searching for buyer reviews. Besides, not all of their prices are so low. I found on January this year that Amazon itself lowered prices to $899 for Suite Web Premium CS5.5. They had only 15 in stock and it was full version. When I checked Amazon next day morning, all was gone and price was back to $1500. In order to sell for such low price, vendor must either have super good deal with Adobe or purchase hundreds of boxes in one go. No idea though, just my 2 cents. This is why I would like to hear someone`s opinion from Adobe, honest one.
