Forum Rules

Support Forums

Before you post to one of the specific Client Help and Support Conferences in Gnutella Client Forums please look through other threads and Stickies that may answer your questions. Most problems are not new. The Search function is most useful. Also the red Stickies have answers to the most commonly asked questions. (over 90 percent).
If your problem is not resolved by a search of the forums, please take the next step and post in the appropriate forum. There are many members who will be glad to help.
If you are new to the world of file sharing please do not be shy! Everyone was ‘new’ when they first started.

When posting, please include details for:
Your Operating System ....... Your version of your Gnutella Client ....... Your Internet connection (56K, Cable, DSL) ....... The exact error message, if one pops up
Any other relevant information that you think may help ....... Try to make your post descriptive, specific, and clear so members can quickly and efficiently help you
LimeWire and FrostWire users need to supply these details >>> System details - help us to help you (click on blue link)

Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. 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. Multiple offenses will result in consequences.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. 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.

Two ways:
1) ->ask and re-ask the scammers by email for a refund since they are providing a free product for a charge and that they are lying about 100% legal downloads (DON'T email people at limewire.com, this is their legit addresses, not the scammers addresses)

2) ->if you just "registered" their service, try to stop the money transfer by calling your bank and telling them you've been scammed


Fight back! ->please file a complaint to the FBI with the scammers web site address: http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp (www.limewire.com is NOT the scam website, link the one you registered onto)

It is true that GPL permits selling of software, HOWEVER
Those sites are illegal and fraudulous because:
-They do not give access to FrostWire source, as required by the GPL
-They lure new non-experimented users into thinking that a subscription gives them the right of legally downloading copyrighted works (Unlimited songs, movies, Legal) which is totally false, as other P2P activities, respect your country laws
-They don't tell what software users are getting (all 100% free software) and links to official websites
-They don't tell that the only thing they could charge, is the support over the usage of the softwares (a support often better on official web sites and forums)

How they work:
-Big scammers makes many websites to lure as many newbies as they can to pay (for exemple, mymusicinc.com, musicinc.cc and allcoolmusic.com have all the same owner), while softwares have only one official website.
-They pay Google many thousands of dollars for ads that are displayed accordingly to your search keywords or the subjects of a web page you visit.
-Once they get too many frustrated users on one site, the scammers close the site and reopen another one with a different address and different design.
-They make millions while legits software developers most often work for nothing.

Please spread the word and use this thread to share your experiences and exchange ideas about how to get a refund.

They do NOT deserve your money over OTHER's work. Do NOT encourage those parasites.

Have you contacted your bank/CC company? Depending on how long ago you paid, they might still be able to cancel the transaction. You should at least report it to them, most have a department to handle scams/fraud. Have a read through the thread below, you'll see how some people have been able to get money back from scammers

If it is still possible, try to cancel the transaction. Talk to your bank, they should have a special department dealing with internet scams.

Ooops,.....guess I'm getting old and slow......

Well, because some people understand why the $18.88 (to support the further development of the client) and others, jerks like you, don't.........do not expect any help from here, or at least not from me,.....go to where you stole the pro.........
And dare NOT to reply to this post; you have already broken the forum rules once with this post.......!!!!!:mad:

Alpacape

I'm afraid that you don't have a choice you have to tell your mother so that she can cancel her credit card and possibly get her money back. Otherwise these scam artist will milk your family dry, all they want is your payment details so that they can re-use them whenever they want to.

Bite the bullet and get your family finances out from under these crooks that you have given them to.

really? But the bank said they can't stop the payment...
Awww... I am so in trouble(´・ω・`)

All the information I gave them is the credit card number and the card of the period of validity, and the number of the back of the card, and address. But the address I gave them isn't correct one but they accepted...

Does anyone think i should tell my family and stop the card??(´・ω・`)

Alpacape

Most CCs have an anti-fraud policy, the card holder can get their money back if they can prove that:

a) the card was used without their permission or

b) the goods described were not those supplied.

there may be other reasons but those or the ones I can think of at the moment.

But back to the scam artists, can you really risk your family because you are afraid you are going to get into trouble? The scammers can do more harm to your family than your mum could ever do to you.

Default 360Share Pro is robbery

I paid for lifetime support with 360Share pro but almost immediately found that their support is unavailable. Neither the user name nor password supplied were recognised. I gave my email and got a new password only to get the message "Specified client not found". That means I can't contact them at all - no address, no phone number and no email.

The agreement allows for 7 day cancellation period but I can't contact them to cancel.

Gullible me!
