It seems to me that the problem with the scam sites ... well the one that I got into as far as I could without releasing my CC details .... do not mention the name Limewire until you've paid your money and it's too late, so I'm not so sure the Scammers DO depend on name recognition. They just get the application which is easiest for them, and won't hopefully give them too many headaches. If the tried to spam phex, the spammers web site would crash with every single buyer asking how on earth it worked
How do you stop the spammers ... that's a question I think I'll sleep on G'night all
