It seems to me that a lot of the sites look similar. One thing I've noticed with any scam site is they usually have a 3-step process where you give very personal info that they shouldn't need. On the filesharing ones they usually have a pretty long list of bullets on thier main page.

So why are google ads still being used around here when they throw nothing but "buy free hacked up limewire here" ads at everyone?

long story http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=20771

it's not only here: the ads are automatically targeted to the keywords on the page. Soon after a site admin block them, they show up again, probably tiggered by different keywords and linked to different sites. However they do it--innocent money ends up in the wrong pockets. :mad:

hehe--the advertisers are as quick as filesharers in getting around blocks. ;)

Re: Stief's post; yep I've been making note of them & reporting to CC but still a few keep coming back. Last I heard CC was going to get things fixed up with google, etc. But it doesn't seem to have worked. I'll re-report them as I've been doing.

I got scammed to
 

I guess I got scammed also the web site googlew gave me was www.AllCoolMusic.com and the charged 23.95 for 2 year script but I just paid about 3 hrs ago so when my bank opens I will try to get it straightened out glad I found this forum but wished it would have been before I purchased I could have got the pro for cheaper,,,,,Darren

I did the same thing through the same site. I was routed there through an email I received after visiting the LW website, thanking me for visiting and asking me to join. I also noticed the same day was charged for pro seperately that I never asked for.

I JUST GOT DONE TOO

paid $19.95 us for them to tell me to download limewire, kazza and the like.

I too feel like a fool

Oh well you live and learn

http://www.movieadvanced.com GOT ME GOOD...!!!!!!

mymusicinc.
 

I came here looking for a different subject and learn I've been duped by the same company. I called the 908-248-3113. I'll wait and see if I hear anything, it didn't have any company name to it though. I came across their site from gateway rewards.com when I thought, great, I'll try that to get a year's worth of Starbucks, and gateway rewards is another scammer too.

I'm angry about this of course, they keep emailing me too (mymusicinc.), but this is 3-4 months ago I did this, but I'll report it to my bank as fraud. Don't see much else I can do.

If I may ask, how do I know which songs and movies I download are safe to share as I don't want lawyers and attoryneys knocking on my door for illegal sharing. I have copied a lot of stuff into other folders on my computer, but I don't know if all can be put up to share, how can I be safe in the sharing, I want to share without problems, please help.

Thanks,
