UPDATE: Ok, check it out. After three days they just emailed me with the note below with the software as an attached file (I haven't paid them yet) and here is the message:
----------------------
Hello!btc> No I have not refused the order. I want to buy this software? What
do I
btc> have to do to get it?OK! We will send you copy of the script.
After it you should pay the script.
--------------------------
OK, they send me the software and then I have to pay for it? No info on how to pay them. Do I wire transfer the money? Email them my credit card # (not likely I am going to do that). Paypal? Drop a check in the mail? Send them some vodka? What?So as it sits now, I have the software (I am afraid they might have sent the software to my other email account as well and are now expecting TWO payments from me...) and I will pay them for it..but this has been just so bizarre..I feel dirty.
By the way, it's a port of an existing flatfile cms system that this russian company ported to MySQL. I have a client that uses the flatfile system, but wanted a database backend but keep the EXACT same system (I couldn't talk them into some other open source CMS or even a cheap commercial one like ExpressionEngine) and they insisted on porting it to MySQL. I'm no coder, so I tracked down this Russian company...
I am starting to get the sneaking suspicion that this is why capitalism doesn't really work too well over there...
