![]() Well looks like I fell into her footsteps. I paid Lifetime and Unlimited access for 22.46; then I also upgraded to pro version for 14.95; and I got net spy for 9.88 totaling 47.29. Is this the same scam guys..I got the e-mail confirmation and a phone number for support contacts? Have I been duped? This is all on LimeWire. |

![]() Agentrip & Treessa Sorry that you guys got scammed, I hope that you are taking the necessary steps to get your money back. Agentrip, you said: Quote:
If you get your money back from your credit card company then great but if you don't then put this experience down to your own carelessness, i.e. jumping without looking, and vow never to get caught like this again. You might think I am being harsh but how can you guard yourself against scam sites, and other bushwhackers on the internet, if you do not accept that you have done something wrong, i.e. trusting without double checking.

![]() A good reason why I don't like e-mail so much...You must explain all. I apologize for the misunderstanding. I meant no harm to limewire itself, I only meant that this is where I ran into the problem at..I am pleased with limewire and not so happy that I got scammed...So please: to all that read my post do not think I am trying to "insult" limewire...Hope this makes more sense |

![]() Ok Folks...This is what I did and it may help others. As we know, a lot of us are being scammed. Remember they now have our credit card information. So I called my credit card company, reported a lost card (told them the situation) and got a new account. The charge on my credit card is being disputed and the old account is being closed under fraud action. The company is sending me a bill in the mail so I can highlight the transactions that I believe to be invalid: once that is complete I will send it back and the charge will be void. I hope this helps.. |

![]() I don't feel as bad now that I see we got hosed as a group, however,I would like to think that the programmers of limewire have some kind of patent because I would be glad to help them collect some royalties from all the shysters making money from their hard work. The crew that boned me was <support@mail.tv.org> and I still have a printout of my lifetime membership for $27. This is one thing about the internet that sucks, I can't believe that the feds haven't cracked down on thieves like these people. |

![]() Ah Baddbob, because LW has NO patent (sort of), the scammers can take advantage of them. See http://www.limewire.org/ to see what open source means Quote:
Anyway, I keep paying for the real version of LimeWire. That's my little way of flipping the bird at the scammers. |

![]() when i was researching limewire (heard it was good but wasnt quite sure), i came across this site. i thought at first it was the UK site for limewire (i typed limewire.co.uk in the addy bar on internet explorer) but closer inspection proved it wasnt. i decided to stick with the site with "limewire" plastered all over it! |
| |||
![]() limewire.org is the official page for the development side of Limewire. It is reached via the main page of Limewire.com through the open source button. typing in the address limewire.co.uk takes you to a search engine that seems to come up with legitimate results.... I think. |
