If it's really OEM, but they're not selling you hardware with it, then no, 
it's not legal.  But it's more likely to be counterfeit/pirated, or even a 
phish of virus trying to get you to click.
  Is it a trap?  Well, does any of the possibilities above sound like 
somebody you want to give your credit card details to????
