OK to all you who say we are naive newbies...not true. I did my research and got had just the same. This so called my music inc. came up on a search as top rated by amazon.com. for music downloads. And with all the napster to do I figured you had to pay for music. So even us oldies can fall into their trap once in awhile just the same

Sorry you got had but you said that you did your research.

You said:

I presume you did a google or some other search and when this site "My Music Inc" came up it's advert said it was rated by Amazon.com.

Did you ever go to Amazon.com to check on this claim or did you just accept what My Music Inc's advert said? If so then you did not do any research, this bogus advert was obviously part of the scam.

Best stick to well known companies in future.

no there was a list on amazon of their top 5 music d/l websites and my music inc was at the top. I used yahoo search to get there.

Can you post a link to this Amazon.com recommendation?

I would certainly like to see it for myself.

Hi

I just got caught by a site calling itself MyMusicNOW.cc which does not tell you that all it offers is downloads of LimeWire and other P2P software until it is too late and you have paid $34.00.

It is a scam.

John

lmao, you guys need to check this crap out: http://www.mp3-review.net/

"Welcome to MP3-Review.net! This is a FREE service that we provide to people interested in Internet downloading, but are confused by the numerous choices of services and programs available."

btw, noobs dont click that link, you might get suckered in again.

Dear John

You have been scammed, try to get your money back via your credit card company or bank.

Good Luck



UK Bob

PS. Don't let the scammers keep your money.

Well damn, I sure wish I knew about all this as well. MyMusic.com suckered yours truly too! They assured me that I had a 30-day free trial and that if I cancelled membership before 30 days I would get a full refund. I haven't heard from them since Wednesday when I was assured that they would answer my question, comment, suggestion, yada, yada, yada. I'm still waiting. Good thing I only signed up for a year.

My other concern is this - since I downloaded LimeWire from their site, as well as Antivir, some kind of Poweramp conversion software - should I uninstall the LimeWire that I installed from their site and reinstall it from the LimeWire site? What about the other programs?

Anyway, Wachovia said I could file a complaint against them and maybe get my money back through an internet fraud complaint. I'll sure have the documentation that they'll need, so maybe there's hope yet.

Being a newbie, I'm sure learning a lot. I didn't even know anything about file-sharing, open source, and all that. Now I'm on a Linux kick, that sounds good too?

Please, some suggestions?

Hi Newbie u2btrfly

Your question:
Answer, Yes. Delete everything you downloaded from the scammers, since the original download was false chances are everything else is false also.

You stand a better chance getting your money back from your credit card company because most of them have an "Anti-Fraud" scheme, and you have been defrauded.

Just remember newbie, whenever you want to purchase something via the internet do some research first, i.e. don't just look at adverts.

Thanks so much for the advice. I charged the 17.95 on my Visa Check Card and, yes, Wachovia will help me with the fraud complaint. I have the letter the scammer sent me about the refund within 30 days and I might even send them a few pages about this thread. Heaven knows, MyMusic.com is mentioned quite a bit.

I got rid of the Antivir and installed Avast. I'll go on and take care of the Limewire after I write this.

Thanks again my UK friend!
