I purchased Limewire through My Music Inc. for $24.95. I'm beginning to think this might be a scam when I found out that I could d/l Limewire free from their web site.
I'm wondering if there is a contract with Limewire and with these music sites or is it a scam? If so, what is Limewire doing about it?
I'm requesting a refund from My Music. Inc.
I would rather invest in the Pro version from Limewire.
This site did not advertise Limewire as their downloadable version, so I was surprised when Limewire appeared on my screen afterI paid.

Their e-mail states they provide a 30 day refund, which I have requested, but might be difficult as they originate in Canada

No there is no contract, and if you can think of a way for Limewire to stop them PLEASE let them know!

The problem is that the buyers who get Limewire off the scam sites, have never heard of Limewire, or they would get it from the official site. And the Scam sites have your credit card details before you know you are getting Limewire and not the site's own software.

Angry another scam

I signed up for Limewire on the official site (I just checked it again) but I had to pay for it. 2 yr membershipfor $1.45 month; 4 yr membership for $.95 month or $49.95 lifetime. naturally, I bought the lifetime and it shows up on my credit card as Clickbank. I sent them an e-mail requesting my $$ back, and will go to my bank tomorrow to fill out a form to somehow retrieve the $$ as I doubt I will hear back from them. they are www.clickbank.com and they even sent me a receipt with an order #.

If you are quite sure you signed up at the official site, you could well have been hijacked from it. The post Hijacked in the following thread explains

ok I'm gonna quite now because thinking about it only making me wanna go up-chuck that's how nervous my stomach is,lol
thinking I was about to be in deep do-do from my mother and she gets mean as hell when she can't get on her msn game zone to play hearts and spades,lol
