Can't LimeWire at least ask Google to block those sites that are misleadingly using LW's open source, or else ask those sites to clearly indicate where LW is freely available?

You may not be able to block those sites, but surely you can ask them to be clear in their use of LW's name and logo.
I filtered out that url.

I also have been drawn in by sharedmovies.com which I got off a sponsored link off a google search fortunatly I only paid the minimum subsciption but I was a bit confused that I had to download your software to start searching for movies. On a positive note they were recommending your software and I might not have found you without them.

I did not make a note of my password or username with them and they have not e-mailed confirmation so I don't think I will be visiting there members pages again!

Should I try and cancell the debit card transaction ?

Look forward reading any replies

If you think there is any possibility of cancelling the transaction, than yes... Immediately try to stop payment...
And, be certain to alert - IF possible - the card company as to the nature of the 'scamming' company trying to rip you off...

Look at the bottom of their web page, you'll see:
Copyright © 2004 - All rights reserved

This copyright notice without a copyright owner name is a sure sign that this is not a legitimate business!

Look at the "privacy policy" link: it is not signed!

Now look at "affiliates": a crap made by and for spammers stealing your money with multilevel (pyramidal) marketing schemes, or "get million dollars fast"!

You will not see anywhere any legitimate and registered business name, no address, no phone or fax number, not even an email to contact...

Now go to the bottom of the page: it's full of tiny invisible text, with links to various P2P programs. They are there just to feed some search engines with keywords...

Now go to the "Terms of service". The contract is not qualified by a provable entity (its signed between "you" and "we, filesharing center", i.e. the trademark used to name the website, but not to designate the owner.

There are so many other signs there that should indicate that this is a scam. Now you're educated. This site is stealing money, and if it distributes some software, it is certainly hacked to contain some stealthware (spamware, backdoors, spywares, keyloggers, credit card stealer...)

Don't trust them: if they used your credit card, reclaim your money to your bank immediately. I'm sure that no company will manifest to your bank to justify the payment, so such opposition will push your bank to start a legal action and track the abuser that has stolen money at your bank!

Bank robery is a crime!

Default Get the *******s!!!

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.
