the scam sites that sucker people into thinking that they are getting LW Pro sell something else, and give out a link to the LimeWire that is FREE!

The LW PRO version doesn't have a 'lifetime' price, only 6 months of updates. john gould is right: sounds like a con.

See http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751 for many stories of people who were scammed, and some good news about how at least a few managed to get their money back.

LW support won't recognize you because you never paid them: you need to find out who actually did get the money, and why they let you think you were getting the real LimeWire Pro.
