YES http://www.filesharingfriends.com LOOK'S LIKE YOU HAVE SCAMED ME, OUT OF 34.95 USD, TRANSACTION MADE APRIL 6TH, SO CALLED LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP. I AM NEW TO THE INTERNET, I AM LEARNING FASTTTTTTTTTTTT. SPOKE TO BANK, BUT THEY CAN NOT DISCUSS, THIS MATTER, AS MY HUBBY, JOINT ACCOU"NT; NEED HIS CONCENT, TO DICUSS FURTHER, "BLASTED RED TAPE!. HUBBY IS AWAY UNTIL TUESDAY. nEED TO DISPUTE CARD PAYMENT, SHOULD GET MONEY BACK, WE SHALL SEE. i AM NOT A GREEN PERSON, BY FAR, BUT HAVE BEEN SCAMED........................CHEER'S

I got the shaft for 39.95 at http://www.k-lite.tk didnt see it comming iether, all stand clear!

I'm a long-time cyberspace guy, going back to the old BBS days. And it hurts to admit that I got scammed. But then they added insult to injury.

I'd used Google to lookup Limewire and one of the top hits was something called Limewire 2007. I took a look at it and it offered unlimited downloads for $39.00 for three years. That was much better, I thought, than the .99 cents for every tune on iTunes, so I started signing up, entering my credit card and etc. But when I got to the checkout page a bunch of other programs had been added, including something called Defensza, and I got suspicous. I backed out of the page without authorizing the purchase. No matter, it got put through anyway.

But because I was suspicious I'd checked my bank account online and found the request sitting there but not yet approved. I called US Bank's incorrectly named "fraud" department and told them of the scam. They told me they couldn't do anything about it until they actually authorized it because it was on my debit card and not my Visa. (They can't STOP a fraud, just investigate it later) Go figure? The charge got approved the next day.

Curious now, and more than a little P.O.ed, I did a bunch of research and eventually found a tech support number for one of the scam programs that worked. (Most of the scammer numbers don't, on the rare occasion when there is a number listed). The voice on the other end was a woman with an Indian accent. I complained, using a phony name linked to a real email account, that I'd paid and didn't get my software. She checked her database, several times, once using the phony name and once using a credit card number which I made up on the spot (which means all of my information is kept and stored in a database). When she couldn't find it, with me playing dumber than I really am on the other end of the line, she offered me a special, good only for three days. All the software, including music, movies etc, that I could use for only $19.95. She gave me the URL of this miraculous program download site and when I surfed there, with her still on the phone, it took me to a special site, full of fake testimonials and lots of buttons to download all kinds of free software. The software that I would have paid $19 for was Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0. Every one of the "free" software programs were shareware and freeware programs.

I went immediately to my bank and got a new ATM/Credit card with a new number and destroyed the old one (what a hassle).

By the way, a lot of these phony sites are located, I found when I pursued the URLs, in Malta and in St Kitts, locations where the arm of the law is very short and lots of money laundering and stuff like that apparently goes on.

What these SOBs are doing is not technically illegal, however. If you read the fine print on the license agreements - and who does, really - you'll notice that they're offering techical support etc, not programs. Nothing illegal about offering dolts like me a free program for $20. I really feel like an idiot, or as Bugs Bunny would say, "What a maroon".

Hi,

I started with the Free version and mpaid to go to LimeWire Pro. Good decision. I have good service from Limewire. Well Done.

I have gone thru the forums and I am convinced we were scammed. My husband got the information from the credit card company....MBContact.com 866-903-4555. They insist that you (Limewire0 were sent the money.
We had three different options, we chose the 3 years at 11.?? per year all payable up front. We accessed Limewire and dowloads fro about six hours and then BOOM whenever we click on link it goes to 12% and then NOTHING....Also my email address is not recognized anywhere oln the Limewire site sooooo.. if you could just confirm. I belive the only whithdrawl company should be Limewire LLC?
Thanks for your time.

Look at the bottom of their web page, you'll see:
Copyright © 2004 - All rights reserved

This copyright notice without a copyright owner name is a sure sign that this is not a legitimate business!

Look at the "privacy policy" link: it is not signed!

Now look at "affiliates": a crap made by and for spammers stealing your money with multilevel (pyramidal) marketing schemes, or "get million dollars fast"!

You will not see anywhere any legitimate and registered business name, no address, no phone or fax number, not even an email to contact...

Now go to the bottom of the page: it's full of tiny invisible text, with links to various P2P programs. They are there just to feed some search engines with keywords...

Now go to the "Terms of service". The contract is not qualified by a provable entity (its signed between "you" and "we, filesharing center", i.e. the trademark used to name the website, but not to designate the owner.

There are so many other signs there that should indicate that this is a scam. Now you're educated. This site is stealing money, and if it distributes some software, it is certainly hacked to contain some stealthware (spamware, backdoors, spywares, keyloggers, credit card stealer...)

Don't trust them: if they used your credit card, reclaim your money to your bank immediately. I'm sure that no company will manifest to your bank to justify the payment, so such opposition will push your bank to start a legal action and track the abuser that has stolen money at your bank!

Bank robery is a crime!
