Hi sassejan

What you have done is download the "free" version of Limewire that you were "introduced" to by the scammers. The so-called "life membership" you have purchased is non-existent and therefore bogus. In other words, yes you were ripped off.

Also, this bogus site will say anything to entice the unwary into parting with their money, so anything that you read on that site is false.

Uninstalling your free version of LW you "bought" and installing the free version from this site will make no difference because they are the same product, the scammers have a URL link to the free download area.

May I offer you two bits of advice that may help you in the future:

a) If you must purchase something online then do some research on the company before parting with your money.

b) When buying online for the first time spend no more than $10.00 (US) or £5.00 (UK), that way if the company delivers promptly then you know you are dealing with a reputable organisation. However, if they do not then you have not lost much.

Finally, the only "good" that has come out of this sorry episode is that you should (will) not be caught like this again.
