They are most likely a company in China and if you get anything at all from them it will be nothing more than an illegal cracked code.
If you are looking for cheaper alternatives to Illustrator, take a look at these:

Well that should get you started
you can get 30 days free at adobe.com
let you have something for now while you decide where to buy from
And I cant get the trail now because of CS5
Oh well :P
