No way to prevent rip-offs Dear Waynet94
Sorry you didn't get your money back but you really do not have anybody to blame but yourself.
The reason why your scammed LW looks the same as your proper LW is because, once you paid your money, you were given a link to LW Basic. That's what most scam sites do but some others will actually infect the program with spyware (probably in order to make more money), you were lucky that your scammer just couldn't be bothered.
And yes, it is wrong to rip people off but this game is so easy and so lucrative that anyone with some computer knowledge and criminal intentions can have a scam site up within a few hours.
In other words, it’s too easy to make money this way and too difficult to root out.
All I can say, “newbies, think before you jump”.
