      On July 11, 2024, I purchased a digital download package through My Choice Software (for $179.99). The website told me it'd be delivered within the hour. We are now 6 hours in and I've yet to receive any emails regarding the ability to download this software that I paid for. At this point, after reading all of these reviews, I believe I've been scammed and I am asking for a refund. Thank you!

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.

      I went to their website to download the **************** Home and Student 2019 Digital License. After the download and the confirmation email, I discovered the bold line: Please read this entire email to ensure a fast and seamless installation.*ONCE ACTIVATED ********* PRODUCTS ARE NON REFUNDABLE*

      Business response

      Hello,

      I see that your refund request was submitted as your license was not activated. Once activated, licenses cannot be returned, which is stated on our refund policy, and is included at the top of the delivery email as an additional reminder to ensure that consumers will confirm they have purchased the correct product before activating the license.

      Warm Regards,

      I was attempting to purchase a software license through ********** Somehow I was lured to the page for this company, which charged me twice for a ********* 365 licence (***** apiece) that they can not license. They fraudulantly charged me (TWICE) for this service, which I have not received. I wish to receive a full refund for both charges.

      At this time, there is nothing needed on your end.

      On 4/3/2024, I purchased a Windows 11 Professional license from ***********************************************. I promptly received what they claimed to be a valid, un-activated licensed key in my email. When I tried to used it, low and behold, the license key was already activated. When I contacted them on 4/4, requesting a refund, they said they would process my request for a refund. By 4/8, no refund had been issued. When I contacted them again, they said that it takes 1-2 weeks for a refund because they need to verify that I did not activate the license key.It does not take 2 weeks to perform any sort of electronic verification.It does not take 2 weeks to issue a refund.I anticipate they will come back to me saying that the license was already activated and they cannot give me a refund. Accusing ME of activating it.They have a very clever scam going. Over-selling Windows licenses at a substantial discount, but not so much of a discount that you would think it is too good to be true. They sell you a license key and deliver on that. They don't tell you that they are selling license keys that have already been activated, most likely hoping that the victim will give up and not pursue things further.

      After reading reviews, this site is a scam. I have tried emailing back with no response. As others have stated, they try and scam you for money then offer an older version for the same cost. Supporting picture from email has been uploaded. My Choice Software is a Scam!

      Hello,

      I see that we have been in communication regarding this request and we have been unable to submit a refund request as there is a dispute in place with the credit card company. We will be happy to submit a refund request if you'd like to call your credit card company to rescind the dispute, otherwise we will communicate with them directly. Please let me know how you'd like to proceed.

       A I have told the company, my credit card company gave me until 01/15 to resolve this problem without their action.  It if is not  resolved by 01/15, I will call them again and they will refund my money.  It would be much easier if the company simply refunds my money before 01/15.
