MinuteDownload.com DownloadInstant.com Software Empire Sold a bogus Microsoft Office 2016 for Business with a non-working License key District of Columbia

I reponded to an ad about purchasing Microsoft Office 2016 for Business for their advertised price of $79.99 less $5.00 coupon code. I received emails from them stating that my software was ready for download, and provided me with a 25 digiti license key. I installed the software and when I atried to activate it with the license key, I received this message:

Sorry, this isn't a Microsoft Office 2016 product key. You may be

entering a product key from another version of Office.

According to their website, I could try and activate the product over the phone. After a lengthy phone call and entering the 25 digit license key, I was informed that the license key does not beloong to a Microsoft 2016 product.

I tied calling their support # 1-844-350-5295 and a recording informed me that the phone number was not set up for receiving calls. I tried emailing them at Support@MinuteDownload.com and my email was returned stating "The account or domain may not exist, they may be blacklisted, or missing theproper dns entries."

I then tried emailing them at admin@minutedownload.com and received the same message.
