SCAM ALERT! Pro Flight Simulator

[Holdit 551]

Anyone who is a regular visitor to AVSIM, Flightsim or anywhere else flight sim-related should smell a big rat straight away. A new super-duper sim for the same price as pro P3D...and there have been no announcements, no rumors, no news items and nobody is discussing it? 

At the very least it should already have featured in several my-sim-is-better-no-mine-is threads already.

The free FlightGear is actually pretty good!

Just got my first email today from this one.

Never heard of this either, but I was laughing pretty good at the first few words and pictures.  It was basically the typical, Work-From-Home-And-Make-Millions scam type of format, trying to introduce FSX like it wasn't Microsoft's and the world has never seen anything like it before.

They never sleep, folks.

I just received another Pro Flight Simulator spam email.  These crooks love representing it as the "best flight sim out there", all the while leaving in the fine, fine print that it is free.  Oh, how they do a great service by bundling it up and making easy to install freeware "easy" to install payware to profit from the unsuspecting.  I hope they receive their income in pennies.

Funnily enough I haven't had anything from them for quite a while. Obviously they've found some new meat.

Yes, I also sign up for them and they just keep spamming me on my email.

This is all too common these days and usually are scammers.

Generally speaking we have:

XPlane

P3D 

Aerofly FS2

Everything else I would be suspicious of.

FYI in a local Goodwill (thrift store to non-Americans) I found this disc. Labeled a scenery disk. It's the scam that keeps on giving! Suppose I should go back and tell them it's not gonna work on its own anyway....I didn't see a disk 1 or install disk in the thrift store.
