I was part of the fraud a couple of months ago. Purchased a new license after waiting forever to hear something back from the AWOL developer.
After waiting and waiting, I went ahead and purchased a license (again). After the purchase of course, I heard something back that my old code was still valid but hadn't been used in some time. I wasn't certain before but I'm convinced this is his way of trying to squeeze every cent out of loyal customers and that he has no intention of supporting further development.
Legal action may be the next step in the pitiful wasting away of this product.
