Page 1 of this thread has advice on how to deal with these scammers. Here's another thread with advice on how to get a refund from scam sites:

Oh man. I got scammed in Jan 2006 from that stupid site allcoolmusic.com. I joined up on to look for some rare songs. I was gonna cancel out after. When I found out it was Limewire in disguise, I told them I wanted to cancel and I got an email back saying okay, but now here in Feb they took out $40 dollars ($20 in Jan and $20 in Feb) from my Mom's bank and she's upset cuz I had told her it would only be a dollar or so and that our account was cancelled out.

I emailed them again, asking for a number, but they gave me total BS about it for a few days until they sent me to a form. I don't remember my ID I used to pay with becuz I had deleted all my emails from them prior, thinking my account had been cancelled beforehand, so I'm stuck on that and they claimed they would give me a refund, but it never happened, though my account has been cancelled now, but it ****** me off they took $40 dollars out.

I used my Mom's debit card. Is there anyway I can get a refund even though I didn't use a credit card? And how can I get back my transaction ID if I deleted my emails? My Mom said she was going to look @ her statements to see when they took the money out so I can look to see if anything on the statements could help get back our money like an ID or anything like that.

Any advice or links or information would help be greatly! Thanks everybody so much. I hope I'm not too late in getting a refund. Stupid allcoolmusic site.

Exclamation Thank you, you have been a great help.

I hope that people read your post and consider it. As an informed buyer I always do online research of a company. Your post along with other posts on this company - allcoolmusic.com has lead me to determine that they are too risky of a business to trust.

SOME CONSIDERATIONS IF YOU HAVE BEEN SWINDLED:
IF YOU HAVE BEEN DUPED TO AGREE TO THEIR TERMS AND THEY ARE HOUNDING YOU THROUGH THEIR COLLECTIONS AGENTS ,CALL YOUR ATTORNEY GENERAL IMMEDIATELY AND ALSO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AND THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

I APPRECIATE THE TIME YOU HAVE TAKEN TO POST YOUR COMPLAINTS. THANK YOU FOR SAVING ME $$$$$

This company claims that they aren't charging for their service, yet under their rules they cleverly substitute the word with "entitles" . refer to first sentence.

AllCoolMusic says that the software is free, and when paying you are paying for tech support, not the software .. or something. ******* liars & scammers!!

Here's a thought.

There are enough legitimate digital download sites to choose from - sites that ensure that the people who make the art you love actually get paid something for their work.

It's kind of ironic to find a forum where a bunch of small parasites are complaining about getting ripped off by a bunch of slightly larger parasites.

Seems to me you're all playing by the same rules - just trying to get something for nothing.

Good luck with getting your refunds.

lmao, your joking me here, right? something for nothing?? YOU DON'T GET SCAMMED IF YOU DON'T PAY, WE PAID!! something for nothing are those that go for frostwire/limewire, etc. and hope to download for completely freee, we paid for these things. i don't see how you can say something for nothing when we obviously paid hoping to do this legally.

I paid £11.99 for the year with Frostiwre - and my partner has removed the program (he didnt mean to) however, for me to get it back they want a further £11.99 and I am only into my 6th month. How do I get it back without paying £11.99 again. Also - I am really hoping hoping this is not a scam!

For FrostWire of course it's free!!! http://www.frostwire.com/

Sorry to hear you paid for it at a scam site. Can you give the name & address of the site? This may help others. Known Scam Sites (click on link). There's also links there about various places you can make a formal complaint.

The more who complain, the sooner those scam sites can be closed down.
