Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1.

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. 10.

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!

| i got scam TOO!!!! I got scam by filesharingcenter.com toofor 19.95. I am fighting paypal to stop the tranfer of my funds to this Christopher Carson who is running this Scam. Here is the email his tech service sent me.The service we provide is much more than just P2P software, we provide users with the latest versions of the most popular P2P software in one page, as well with tutorials on how to use them and how the get the most off them. There are also utilities available for download in our site, and different useful subpages like the CD-Covers links, the spyware killers, etc. Also, a very important part of our service is that we offer the users the technical support in case they have a problem or just a concern with one of the programs or any other material listed in our members area. Since we do not host the files themselves, but the files for the programs that will let you download them, the transfer rate is dependent on the user or server sending the specified file (multiple users and servers are available for download at the same time). Most users find the service very helpful. HOW TO START: We are not a music/movie file server. To start, you have to download one of the programs to file share. You will find these programs in the download section.. The set up instructios for that program you will find in the "Help & FAQ" section. To burn CDs you will find different programs it the utility section. Take your time and read the info we provide at the different sections. This is the procedure. 1. Go to File Sharing center 2. Login 3. Go to Download Music/Movie Center. Choose a program.and download it. We recomend Morpheus or Limewire. 4. Go to FAQ which is below the program. 5. Go to Utility Section. and download the spyware killer and the pop up stoper and install them. 6. Install the P2P program..... you choose to download. 7. Choose a Song/Movie to down load. Using the steps in the FAQ. Please contact us if you are still having trouble I hope Paypal can help me Cyclone16 |

Isn't the official LimeWire web site enough referenced in many download sites, and major search engines, or many MP3 sites? Does this scam affects too with other legitimate Gnutella servents (BearShare notably)? May be it's time to include in the downloadable installer a certificate which, when present, will avoid displaying alerts in search results. For any other installation of LimeWire, there would be some results that would immediately appear in searches, that would show a warning about the true download site of LimeWire. We need something to inform users in Gnutella, and a security feature bundled in the installer that would filter those administrative alerts. Of course this certificate would not be part of the open-source project. There's a need to collaborate with BearShare about something to detect abusive servents. One of the most useful thing would be really to create a Gnutella-promoted Chat system where users would interact and discuss directly, by adopting in the GDF some common IRC channels hosted by neutral IRC server. One advantage with IRC is that it can also work outside of Gnutella too from the web using one of the many IRC applets or ActiveX components. For now Gnutella users are too much isolated, and they are too much exposed to such threats, and there's a lack of education. Chatting was one of the effective reasons why the past P2P programs succeeded. The Chat option in LimeWire is too much basic, and limited to 1-to-1 without possibilities to create effective contacts between friends. |

 Throwing My 2 Cents In I got suckered in a long time ago when I discovered Morpheus - I paid 18.00 for the privledge of a free list of P2P's. But I did get a 1 year "membership" for what I don't know. Once I upgraded my brain I did a whois and found the actual owner of the site and sued in small claims and got court and bank costs plus 3x my purchase price back because the judge said the guy was a parasite. So I wound up with about $145 and a lot of wasted time. The point is, learn from your mistake and don't let these guys slide. Complaining is okay but you have to do something to stop these folks -- I like the hacking idea - but I don't condone it (not that there is anything wrong with that {Seinfeld - reference}) |

| Another thread 'Limewire clones' that probably fits in here also worth a mention. And there's a large list PLUS Shareaza clones. Clones is enough to trick people from getting what they may have been looking for. See: Limewire clones |
