Another scam site and another sucker.

Such is life.


Alan

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.

Alan...you and I got suckered by the sae web site...My Music.
Their e-mail states they provide a 30 day refund, which I have requested, but might be difficult as they originate in Canada

Helps, knowing im not alone. Ty.

I requeted a refund about a week back, but no reply.

Im ok about the money loss, but i do wanna shut them down somehow. Any thoughts anyone?

Alan

Alan.....Looks like we are not alone. I've written them and promised to carry their fraudulent pratice to the FBI and In'l Trade Commisssion, telling them that being in Canada will not stop us!

This may or may not help: get your $$$ BACK!!! (music members)

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.

I signed up for Limewire on the official site (I just checked it again) but I had to pay for it. 2 yr membershipfor *****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

Sorry but it doesn't work like that. Limewire has absolutely no control over what is downloaded. It connects you to another user like your self and you exchange files. Virus warnings abound on the forums, and it is up to every user to ensure that they have adequate virus protection. It is very inadvisable to download zip files and exe files unless you are absoltely sure they are ok, and yes all sorts fo filters could be used to remove a lot of the nasty stuff, but making them do a useful job is not easy, and it is first and foremost up to us the users to ensure we don't get infected.

so what I should do then is keep on warning people then right?

Well .. while, it does no harm to get fairly regular warnings on the forums, I do feel that Limewire could emphasise the problem rather more than they do on their website.

I sent Clickbank and e-mail last night telling them Limewire was free and they scammed me and I wanted a refund, and they replied that my refund was being processed. funny, they didn't try to defend themselves! I also went to my bank and the fraud unit is investigating to also try to get my refund. I cancelled my debit card since those a**holes have my card #. Anyway, thank you for your help.

Can't you put a message on your homepage that Limewire is free and if asked to buy a membership, don't do it!

Cancelling your card is a good move ... Let's just wait and see if you actually get the refund .. I hope so .

I still a little unsure how you came to get scammed. Were you hijacked to a lookalike site from possibly google, or a link somewhere else. There is not a lot of evidence of this happening, so it would be helpful to get more imformation.

As for putting a message on the Limewire homepage about it being free, the main problem is that the unfortunates who get scammed do not generally know they are getting Limewire until the money has been paid, and the deed done. Also there is a pro version of Limewire which is not free. It only costs US$18.88, but it confuses the issue a little.

btw It is not MY home page. the forum is not exactly an official part of Limewire, but a lot of us like to support limewire, and try to help out here if we think we can assist anyone.
