I agree. I went to this site one month ago and have yet to receive any
confirmation or posters. I looked for additional information or at least a
contact about the posters and nothing was found. I am having concerns of
these being legit, but I am not sure of the motive for putting up a site
like this.

Valerie, Please pardon my paranoia but this -is- a "security" group.



1) When I went to the web site to "order the posters" my browser told me
that it didn't recognize the SSL certificate as valid;



2) The site is labelled "Microsoft" but it seems to be run by something
called K/P Corporation;



3) Nowhere does it say what the cost is.  I even "added it to my cart" and
then got as far as it asking me for my personal information and it still
hadn't said what the cost would be.



I quit there.



Pretty poor implementation in my opinion.
