    Unfortunately, there is nothing Microsoft can do if you purchase a standalone product key from a dishonest vender.  Microsoft does not authorize any seller to sell standalone product keys for Windows 7 or Microsoft Visio. If the seller won't offer you a refund then contact your bank or credit card company and file a fraud complaint.

    In the future, only purchase software from a proven, reliable seller, such as Newegg.com.  Example

    i did not expect my complaint to Microsoft support to be used as a web article.

    I've removed all the personal information about this issue.

    shame on you

    These forums are not 'Microsoft support' - they are public peer-to-peer assistance forums. MS staff may (very) occasionally drop in to check things out, but generally have no input  unless you are a subscriber to one of the paid-for services.

    No - I do not work for Microsoft, or any of its contractors.
