OEM Versions
-
I see "OEM" versions of Sketchup Pro available for download at prices as low as $25. Seems too good to be true. What is the deal?
-
Maybe it like those offers from Naigeria?

Yeah, they are not legitimate. Good chance they come with a free virus. Or they might even be just the free version of SU, and they charge you the $25 for the download - also illegal. All in all, they are not legal. It happens commonly too where someone buys a copy like that, when they need tech support, they contact the company and the company says their license is not valid. and on and on. Generally nothing good can come out of buying software from untrusted sources.

I won't even ask how it came to be that you saw these great offers

I've seen priced downloads of Google Earth (free version otherwise) on certain websites, too. Look at the official GE Help Forums - they are full of these scams.
Then in certain countries it is a common practice to sell cracked versions of software. We have banned some members for this here already (no names/names mentioned - and of course, this is not threatening...)
