  Website seems kinda sus (via Reddit)

  My experience with StackSocial is mixed. Yes, I did buy MS Office Professional 2021 from them, and successfully downloaded the software, and the product key worked for me. The software functions as expected. However, I started getting massive amounts of spam, mostly from east European countries, in my inbox. I had to block the spam country codes on my email provider’s webpage (Yahoo) and route the email from Stack Social, which they send out multiple times per day, to my Junk folder automatically. It took a while to get rid of most of the spam. I still get an odd one here and there after 2 years.

  I’d take the deal if I knew it was basically a donation towards whoever’s maintaining the filters, I’m just not sure about where that cash is going.

  And in a case like this I’d want to use a disposable email address and disposable card for the actual purchase. Which I have (hooray) but most people may not
