Hi, I have not been able to use limewire correctly since I have purchased it about a month ago. Each day I am losing more and more computer programs as I seem to have picked something up from downloading music on the Limewire site. The songs I have downloaded are of poor quality and as a result I would like to cancel my registration with Limewire. I would also like a full refund as I purchased the membership to be an honest music lover and not steal online but I found that this site has not been easy to work with, corrupted my computer, gives me poor quality music and after paying I'm told I must pay more to get Limewire Pro to get some assistance even though I've already paid to Join? I don't like this system and would like to know who and how to contact someone who can help me cancel my membership. I am very disappointed as I thought this would be the perfect answer to my music problems but it obviously is not what I am lookig for.

How, hoew do I cancel my mebership with Limewire without having to pay more?

This is a forum not a site that holds files for downlding. I think you've got the whole thing in confusion. For a start, see Membership? - **WARNING ** - Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites LW is free unless you get pro. LW does not advertise downlding of music! So I suggest you go back to the original site your purchased from & tell them.

My guess is you got LW from a scam site. See if you can find it on the list here Known Scam Sites

This might help: get your $$$ BACK!!! (music members)

So Kirsten

You went to a scam site, purchased a bogus copy of LW, gave the scammers your credit card or bank payment details, which they can use to extract further payments for the non-existent club you have joined.

You went on to say:Well, LW does not own a site you can download music from, it does not own a site you can download films or games from either so someone has been telling you lies and my guess is that you got this nonsense from the scammers (internet parasites) that took your money.

Now, normally I would advise you to get onto your bank or CC company and report that you have been the victim of a fraud perpetrated by a site specially set up to part novices (new internet users) from their money. However, since you have waited for over a month your payment provided will probably say you have waited too long before bringing this to their attention. But, I guess, you should still try and you should definitely change you payment details so that the scammers cannot extract any more of your hard earned money from you.

Finally, if you are going to buy, download or use software from the internet only go to the official site or else you could find yourself dealing with another set of internet parasites.

By the way, LW is available from here (and nowhere else):

PS. If you are a US resident you should report your dealings with the scam site here:

If more US citizens report these scam sites the FBI might be able to get them off the internet for good.

(Sorry UK Bob, I just fixed up your link)
