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.

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. 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. 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. 10. Posts should have descriptive subjects. 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. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit. 13. 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. |

| Dear Alfred You said: Quote:
So, this scam site (AllCoolMusic) decided to rip you off for $24.95 instead of $34.95 with an additional 99c per month and you are happy? Alfred, let me explain the facts of life. a) Your lifetime membership is to NOTHING because the so-called club you have bought into does not exist. b) LW Basic is free and LW Pro cost $18.88, for that you get 6 months worth of updates/upgardes, and is available from here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml c) Get on to your credit company, tell them you have been conned, and get your money back. d) The P2P network consist of thousands of PC users like you and me from around the world, running LW, LWPro or some other P2P software on their PCs, this is what enables you to connect to and download from them and, likewise, them from you. e) Because the P2P network consist of thousands of individually owned PCs no one has the right to or can sell you access to this network, access is freely available. f) No one, no company or organisation can promise or guarantee that you will be able to download anything from the P2P network, PC users/owners (only) decide what they will put on and make available to share from their PCs. There are probably another dozen of so points I could make but I think you now have the gist of it. Alfred, do not let the scammers get away with selling you nothing, try and get your money back.

| Well, I have ALMOST been scammed! I guess that I have to thank you and my suspicious nature that this has not indeed happened. I wanted to download some tv shows legally. I searched the net and came across some sites. They all offered all these fabulous stuff... But, it did seem too good to be true. I tried to find what the others say about them. I found a few reviews that sung praises (quess they were scam too). However, I just wasn't comfortable with, for example, not even being able to see faq without signing in (and giving credit card number!!!). And I kept looking for some more information until I found this forum. So, THANK YOU for sparing me a great deal of frustration and money! |

| When I said I got a warm feeling I was being ironic, now that I know better. At the time I subscribed I knew nothing at all about the Gnutella network and hadn't heard about Limewire. I didn't know the network is free. (Am I right to believe this?) Now I know that a lot of sites are selling LW and use of the network. Alfred |

| I have been reading your posts, and I have been done too, and I thought I would add my bit. I originally went to www,top-rated-mp3sites.com and I then went to a reviewed site www.MP3MusicLive.com where i consequently paid $37.41 US for free limewire. They said they have online tutorials and live web chats, which are nowhere to be seen in cyberspace and the one thing they do have are ads, which they said they didnt! Please note all users that the review site contains all spam sites as far as I could tell. Another intersting fact is that if you do a google search for say... free mp3 downloads, or even free tv show downloads then you will be certain to find sites that all look remarkably similar......if you get my drift! ALSO BEWARE: BECAUSE OF LOW SECURITY SETTING NEEDED FOR SITE HACKERS ENTERED MY COMPUTER AND CAN ENTER YOURS TOO IF NOT CAREFUL. I could say alot more......but I am sure you will be sick of reading by now! Thank-you all for your help if it werent talking on this forum, I wouldn't have figured it out! |

| Spar1691 Cheers for that, I am glad you took my comments in the way they were meant and not as a personal attacks, which some people mistakenly believe. You know, I get angry when ordinary working people get ripped off by scammers and I believe that victims of these sites should not sit quietly back and just accept it. They should demand their money back and push their credit card companies and banks not to do business with parasites (rip-off merchants). After all, if the banks did not provide the necessary banking facilities these scam site would not be able to rip people off. That’s why, in part, I changed the tone of my advice from "soapy soft" to "harsh" to tell people that if you don’t look after your money no one else will. Because the banks and CCs are only interested in the fees each transaction generates they don’t give a “flying toss” that a scam site customer is actually a victim of fraud. Unfortunately, that did not go down too well and people got angry with me instead of the site that ripped them off. Spar1691, I am sorry the scammers won’t give you your money back but that is as expected, but the bank, as a respected institution, has a moral obligation to refund your money (which they can readily do by debiting the scammer’s account). Because they, the banks, provided the crooks and parasites with the necessary facilities that allowed you, and countless others, to be ripped off, so they should do something about it. Anyway, good luck and we’ll meet up for that drink when this is over. UK Bob |
