I have been scammed by musicmembers. I wanted to upgrade WinMx which I did not know had been shut down. While I though I was upgrading WinMX it was actually to download LimeWire.

I filled in the registration form with all my details and was offered:

Lifetime Full & Unlimited Access with 25% off - $22.46USD
Pro Version Upgrade - Movie Codec Pack - $14.9****
NetSpyProtector Option - $9.88USD

An email came through with all the details of my Membership and and Order ID Number. All looks legitimate but a total scam.

Of course the credit card charge went through. I phoned the bank when I realised what a fool I had been but they could do nothing as I had authorised the charge.

The website for Musicmembers looks very professional but there are no contact details such as an email address or street address. The phone numbers given are probably linked to permanent recording so you never get to speak to anyone. They claim that you can be refunded if you are not satisfied with the product which is a joke if you can't contact anyone.

I have learned a whole lot through this experience. Although I now have LimeWire which works very well I could have downloaded it from this site without the cost. I don't have LimeWire Pro so I have paid for something I haven't got.

Should I report this to someone?
