Members need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link) Moderators There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

 Alpacape I'm afraid that you don't have a choice you have to tell your mother so that she can cancel her credit card and possibly get her money back. Otherwise these scam artist will milk your family dry, all they want is your payment details so that they can re-use them whenever they want to. Bite the bullet and get your family finances out from under these crooks that you have given them to. UK Bob  |

| really? But the bank said they can't stop the payment... Awww... I am so in trouble(´・ω・`) All the information I gave them is the credit card number and the card of the period of validity, and the number of the back of the card, and address. But the address I gave them isn't correct one but they accepted... Does anyone think i should tell my family and stop the card??(´・ω・`) |

| Alpacape Most CCs have an anti-fraud policy, the card holder can get their money back if they can prove that: a) the card was used without their permission or b) the goods described were not those supplied. there may be other reasons but those or the ones I can think of at the moment. But back to the scam artists, can you really risk your family because you are afraid you are going to get into trouble? The scammers can do more harm to your family than your mum could ever do to you. UK Bob |

| 360Share Pro is robbery I paid for lifetime support with 360Share pro but almost immediately found that their support is unavailable. Neither the user name nor password supplied were recognised. I gave my email and got a new password only to get the message "Specified client not found". That means I can't contact them at all - no address, no phone number and no email. The agreement allows for 7 day cancellation period but I can't contact them to cancel. Gullible me! |

| You should contact your bank/CC company & report this. They might be able to cancel the transaction... most will have a department to deal with scams/fraud. Did you get a receipt when you paid? Or an automated reply? Have a look & see of there's a phone number or email address on that. I'm not sure if there's anything about 360Share in this thread. Even so, you might find something useful http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=44499 Good luck! |

 purchase limewire upgrade for $18.88 I'm affraid I was one of the jerks who paid $18.88 for limewire pro. But I learned my lesson. I thought I was paying for a better, faster limewire but all I got was scammed. I tried to contact limewire support, but to no avail. I paid with my paypal tried to stop payment by going to the credit card and requesting a hold, they held it for 30 days but the payment ended up going through anyway. Then my program started acting wierd, I couldn't get any downloads, everytime I clicked on a song it connected me with the internet to a site advertizing paid downloads.  I finally got fed up. I uninstalled limewire pro, cut my losses and reinstalled the free version of limewire and I haven't had any problems since.I'll never pay for limewire pro again seeing that the free version does exactly the same thing as pro. |

| Remember thet the only official site is www.limewire.com. I just renewed my subscription to LimewirePRO and it was only $14.50, thanks Limewire!!!. I will always subscribe to Limewire becuase they are fighting the giants at the RIAA and not backing down so I know that my fee is going to a great cause. So do not give to spammers as that money goes to people who are not concerned with your best interest and only in how much money they can scam from you |
