Dear barrykane2003

You have been scammed (ripped off) and, like many before you, you have joined the ranks of the naive and gullible. Take Peerless's advice and try and get your money back, if not then try to make sure that the scammers cannot extract anymore from your credit card.

I think your scammers have been particularly nasty because most scammers at least let you download the free version of LW, which you had to downloaded yourself, but these ones gave you a bogus (non working) application.

Note, mp3download.com is purely a scam organisation set up to catch people who know very little about the internet. Plus it has nothing to do with LW or any other P2P software.

Put this bad experience down to one of life's lessons.
