added to which the forum search function shows up some posts about clickbank which cannot actually be found. So It's all very strange. Yes I now realise Clkbank and Clickbank are one and the same. I'm not sure what their game is.

Hi, Hobo. Thanks for being there! I see I'm not the only victim of clickbank. I swear I went to www.limewire.com to join and, not being all that computer literate, I easy got confused. I just kept clicking "basic" that now I look at and it says "free", DUH! anyway, I was taken to a site that offered the 3 types of memberships. Really, what is a "lifetime" membership" anyway? Who's lifetime? mine, their? Boy do I feel stupid! so they said the $49.95 would show up on my debit card as "clickbank" and they gave me an order # and advised I print my receipt which I did. I can't understand how this happened or why they would give me a receipt. don't you think if they were legitimate, they would defend my "purchase" instead of just sending me a refund especially after I told them they were a scam? my refund is supposed to take 5 business days. we'll see. I have found several sites to report internet fraud, what do you think?

Lyndebe ... I have to retract all the nice things I nearly said about Clickbank. The are true masters of their craft. They can supply you with any scam downloading con trick piece of &"free downloads blah blah.con*%^ you want . They supply you with advertisements to go on google, that say freemp3conscams.com etc and promise to pay huge amounts of money if you can set up a good scamming operation. Hmmmm after what I've seen on these forums, I think I might sign up

Something slipped on the keyboard so some of the above will not make sense, but It looks good as it is.

I'm sure they somehow hijacked you from the LW site and I am wondering if you have somehow got some spyware on your computer. Do you do spyware scans?

I use Opera's Browser which automatically empties all my cookies each time I close it. This gives me no problems with my regular sites, but if I have a dubious cookie, which I could well have, if I visit sites like that. I imagine somehow they could use it to hijack me to another site. The good thing is I will not have the cookie next time I start Opera. This is a wild theory, not sure if it holds water.

anway I hope you get your refund I'm sure you'll let us know.

I agree with Hobo, it seems that you were hi-jacked away from the LW site and taken to a scam site. If you go through this forum (and thread) you will that other users, like yourself, have been hi-jacked as well.

Hi-Jacking unprotected PCs is another curse/problem windows users have to put up with nowadays, as criminals become more sophisticated or join forces with hackers/crackers PC users, likewise, should become more aware of the dangers lurking on the internet.

After all, it's your money these parasites are after and today protecting your PC is the same as protecting your hard earned money from thieves.

Hobo and all,

I just checked my bank statement and my refund of $49.95 posted to my account yesterday! I hope this will encourage the other scammed people to pursue their refunds. I am still going to report clickbank to the FBI, the better business bureau and anybody else I can find. I wanted to wait till I had my refund first. these predators need to be stopped.

Just wanted to find out how I can get in touch with these people to let them know I want to cancel and am in the process of trying to stop payment from my cc. thanks pam
