They Got Me Too!!!
 
Well there you go, I have been scammed too.. :(

The payment has already come out of my card, and I have sent the scammers a request for a refund, so I will wait and see what happens...

Here is the link where I got scammed..

Received: from mail.mp3downloading.com (h66-201-199-198.gtconnect.net [66.201.199.198]) (This is who sent me the receipt below)

support@musicmembersarea.com (This return address doesn't work)

I hope this helps others avoid the same thing as me...

Newbies
 
Dear Newbies

Apart from ZebraSE, how many of you guys and girls did any research into what you were getting into before you gave your money away to the scammers?

Did anyone stop to think that what was on offer seemed too good to be true?

Did anyone check that the (scam) site had a phone number, an address and could be contacted.

Did you try to gather any information about the site, e.g. reviews, word of mouth, other recommendations, before parting with your money?

Or were you mesmerised by the scammer’s advert, i.e. smiling models, slick presentation, lots of “wordage”, etc?

If the answer to the above questions, except the last one, was "NO" then you newbies have no one to blame but yourselves for being taken.

MyMusicInc.com's (and others) mailing address..
 
Hiya,
Clearly MyMusicInc.com etc are scamming scum. They are also careless scum..

Here's how I found them..

Using 'Whois.sc" - a domain lookup site to look them up;

http://www.whois.sc/mymusicinc.com

Now they hid their registration behind Network Solutions, however, Whois.sc allows you to see *what other sites are running off the same web server*, which is often very interesting as usually people will rent a colo'd box and run all their scams off it...

sooo, running on the same box are;

http://www.whois.sc/christmysavior.com
(woah!)

and

http://www.whois.sc/imusicsearch.com

and

http://www.whois.sc/musicdownloadpro.com

all of which are basically the same scam. Note that they all have the same contact address (NOT hidden this time - lazy scammer!)

Dang if I were anywhere in the area I would be right with you, but it's a bit far from Australia.. :(

Look what goes around comes around, and they will lose a lot more in time.... I have learnt not to by anything that doesn't offer paypal for payments though..

Thanks for the info!!!

Well done, you certainly know how to check out a site.

But the main problem is that scammers rely on the fact that newbies know "nothing" and are so eager to give their money away that they don't stop and think.

So far, I think the scammers are winning. I could be wrong but check out the rest of the forum, you'll see what I mean.
