360Share isn't LW, sorry but you were scammed. Check out the thread below

Basic LW is free, Pro costs $US18.88 for 6 months of updates & email support. The only official site to get either version is www.limewire.com & your email address won't be in LW's database if you purchased from a scam site.

You should contact your bank/CC company & report this, most have a department to deal with scams/fraud.

Yes that is correct, I paid the money for the lifetime membership looks like I got totally ripped offed,but rest assured whoever is responsible now officially has the FBI on their asses!! UP YOURS LIMEWIRE!

LimeWire has their own site, www.limewire.com , and you obviously did not go there...hopefully your lawyer has a clean glass belly button and he won't make the same mistakes you have

Really have no idea where to post.
I'm tired of having to deal with the ZIP number ! Not everybody in the world has 'em you know?
just because of billing Address typing problems I cannot get the PRO version...is there other way?

I think I may have deleated an important file that enables me to open up my limewire pro and now i can't do it. I have paid for the membership once already, and have used Lw pro alot b4, but now that I can't open it does this mean I have to download it and pay for the subscription again? If not can someone help me figure out a way to download the necessary files that I need.... please

It doesn't matter where you purchased Limewire from as it is all a fiddle.
It says it is a one time charge with no recurring fees but yet they stick a irritating message at the bottom of the page which says that a new update is available so long as you PAY AGAIN. So much for the one off payment, lying gets

I'm wondering what the scam is? Limewire is open source? Limewire charges for Pro. What's the difference. They are free to compete and participate. You can't get a refund if it's not illegal. I got into this with 360Share from mp3musicaccess for ~$25, not knowing much about this field. Then got to know free Limewire and use it cos it's less buggy. Now can't connect to the other network anymore (out of business?) but they provided other info and useful service for a newcomer, and their network seemed to have some different good search results.

Use Goolgle to search for 360Share Pro Limewire scam, 360Share scam, 360Share Limewire scam Use the forum search to look for 360Share

If you're happy to pay for a hacked old version of LW Pro & pay for support that you can get for free then go for it On their site, they claim that the members area includes access to "a collection of tools that include video players (allow you to play the latest video files), CD burning application and much much more…" I bet they're all freeware anyway!!

Personally, I'd have doubts about any product that offers you a 'free' version, then requires you to 'register' your product & then turns out to be a 3 day trial

All you get is a re-badged version of LW that connects to exactly the same network (gnutella) as every other LW.

"Hacked old version" sounds right, and imperfectly hacked. But not an illegal "scam" exactly. We don't get support on free LW. Their collection of tools is freeware alright, but that's a help to newbies. If I knew of free LW of course I wouldn't have bought that.
But are they still in operation? I guess so.
