Hi Everyone,

I Don't Believe this! 8 pages of forum thread with people reporting being scammed of amounts between $10-80!
Most rich people probably think,
I'm Talking to you Mr.Developer. (Move millions of people in 400m2 houses and expect them to raise a family)

We all go through school (hopefully) or go to a fair, we get scammed in real life.

There is definetely someone/group that is running a major operation.
All of these scam websites seem to say the same thing, Have the same logos, banners , offers.

Another case example. Man goes to party, everybodys talking about the latest album, Ta Dah, Panic at the Disco, Van Morrison Greatest Hits. Eventually someone brings up LimeWire. Man asks where to get it. He just says get it from Google. Goes home, Drunk and Tired. Man decides to quickly download it. Goes into their FIREFOX BROWSER (GO) and enters LimeWire.

Guess Wat is the First Search Result. In Highlighted blue and labeled as Major Sponsored Ad. Iiiiiiiits.... Download Limewire 2007TM LimeWire.Download-It-Free.com.

It's probably the best way to get a Tired 40-year-old man to download a program.

Especially if he has a credit card

Another way the scammers get their way is to pay google lotsa moneys.

A normal person is bombarded by 6 Highlighted Sponsored Ads.
Guess What, they are all owned by the same person. They may have a different front page, different url, but the setup page is the same text, same offers. The only different thing is the banner, with the name of the website.

Not many people have a care to detail on the internet.

Now, heres a sick case.

http://free-limewire.hospitalityzone.ca/..

Not many people look at that. Probably 99% of this forum looks at that and says OMG AD!!!! SUE THE B******S

But the other 70% of the world, who has just picked up a $40 computer from the local petrol store, walks into the internet, without a leash.

Everyone I do any computer work for, any amatuer, i run through the basics of the internet.


To Conclude,

devil.of.firewalls

P.S: A Question, Mentioned before by Lord of the Rings (I THINK) that there is no difference between LimeWire and LimeWire Pro. There'd have to be, but someone, some source-coder, please tell us if there is!

I left a question re paying for Limewire and found out along with a lot of other people that I had been ripped off. I rang my bank who couldn't do anything about it. I then went to IBILLCS.COM and informed them of the situation. They refunded the money immediately. The rip off ***** are www.klitesite.com.

I came across another one of theirs, Mp3 advanced.com.

Somebody just posted a similar story which should be listed here. ie: http://www.dcmoviez.com & http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff98935.htm Hope you don't mind me cross-linking the threads.

Another thread 'Limewire clones' that probably fits in here also worth a mention. And there's a large list PLUS Shareaza clones. Clones is enough to trick people from getting what they may have been looking for. See: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27177

Just tell them to cancel it straight out (but b/c it was a scam.)

On behalf of joeyd Im posting another who was scammed by the same as jrwaits47. http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=31893 & both http://www.mymusicinc.com/freemusic.htm & http://www.my-free-music.com/ which is the same thing. A pro review site of scammers.

Well worth checking thru this list: http://www.p2pforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=4407
Keep in mind this list is an older one & 'new' ones exist!!! The following is a Quick Reference list & an abbreviated list that only applies to p2p apps that are related to the Gnutella Forums:

I mentioned before but worth repeating are Limewire & Shareaza Clones: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27177
& http://www.lime-wire.net/ Scum version - see sample scam web page!
Etomi dirty clone with spyware from mp3downloading.com / filesharingcentre.com/

Umm...Sharkie what 2nd edition are you refering to? I hope you got LW pro thru the official LW site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml

You can get a CD edition. But as far as I know that's all.

lizziebrad I'm sorry LW customer support didn't get to your problem before the weekend but they will I assure you. And yes if you don't eventually get the registration to come thru then you should get your money back. You should at least get an extension on your registration for the period you haven't been able to downld the softw. Sorry to hear there's been this type of issue. About a month back they had a problem for a day or two with their online registration which may have cropped up again.

Keep an eye out, just make sure their mail doesn't end up in your junkmail.

Yes sflanagan it looks like you were scammed too. As you can see from the previous page ww.mymusicinc.com is on the list of scam sites. To think you could have got LW for free or the Pro version for $18.88, the best advice is usually to try to cancel the transaction asap. But since yours was over a month ago I think you just have to put it down to experience. But make sure they do not have the ability to re-charge you. Some of these scam sites will automatically re-charge after a period.
