Scam Sites are Predators
 
Dear U2btrfly

Glad you got your money back and beaten the scammers but, as you admit, you would not have known you were scammed unless you had a problem and came to this forum looking for help. Now imagine all those newbies out there that do not have problems and are living quite happily with their paid for "free" LW basic.

Scam sites exist to prey on gullible and unthinking internet shoppers, but theses sites would not exist if people thought about what they were doing before parting with their payment details. So, in a way, I blame the prey (in the main gullible newbies) for the existence of so many predators (well over a hundred scam sites).

Predators exists because their prey are plentiful, no prey and predators becomes extinct. Therefore, unless and until newbies start to use their common sense and stop being prey there will always be predatory sites willing and able to rip them off.

I telephoned my Credit Card Company to report the charge and they have said that the charge will not be paid until further investigations are made. I have been charged 62.68 USD does that mean the fraudsters can keep on placing this charge on my card ad infinitum?

The ofending site is:

Answer: Yes

That's why you have to cancel your credit card and get a new one.


Cheers for the assist Hobo

But newbie Tony is just "talking loud and saying nothing".

Scam!!!!
 
It seems I was also scammed.
http://www.my-free-music.com/home.htm?affID=2588
The is the web address that charged me $24.95 for a 2 year membership that is apparently free then offered the $18.88 upgrade option. I used the 1st site My Music Inc.
Do I have any recourse?

hi lucy, are you still within the 30 day refund period, other than that I reckon it will be tough. they do state that the software is free and you are paying for technical support.
personally I think they should all be prosecuted for fraud and closed down.
I think I will start a website offering technical assistance should you need help in breathing.
