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.

1st check their site to see if they have a support page & contact emails. If yes, request a refund. If no go, then go to your bank/CC rep. & let them know you were scammed & didn't get what you paid for despite their advertising.

Angry Getting your money back....hahahahahahahahaha

Seriously, though. The folks running these scam sites, and some have twenty or more all aliased to a basic site, are really into keeping a low profile. They're operating on the edge of legality (most of the terms of service announcements say, in very small type, that they have no connection with the actual owners of the software being downloaded. They go on to say, on another page, that they are supplying technical support only, so what they're doing is not, technically, illegal).

Some folks are getting their money back if they complain, but most are being charged a $9.95 "handling fee", so the "vendor" is going to sting you for ten bucks regardless.

I went through my bank and had them challenge the charge and, wonder of wonders, I got it back. I can only guess that that is for one of two reasons: first, with all the money they're making, why mess around with a trouble maker like me, and with his bank. Two: they want to keep a low profile, and don't want the banks investigators snooping around.

So, you may be able to get some of your money back, but don't get your hopes up too high.

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})

did you also know that you can click onto documents on limewire and type in bank details and it comes up with bank details.

Default How Does The Hacker Economy Work?

Everyone that has been scammed and have not cancelled their credit cards should read this article, it makes interesting yet frightening reading. It also shows what could happen to your credit card details once they are in the hands of crooks.

Angry HOLY **** I got scamed?????

I just found out I was scamed and I'm not happy. I paid something like $25.00 for a liftime membership and it s worh squat! Great! the site was themusicmembersarea.com and they have a bunch of downloads like limewire, 360 sharepro, and winmx, just to name a few. Now I just bought a new computer with vista on it and I can not get either one to work and wondered if maybe that had something to do with it?

Default rip off scam

I signed up and paid at the limewire site. Now 4 months later I am being charged by a MPMUSICHQ-COM out of CA. I can't hardly understand the foreign recording nor could I hardly understand the foreign customer service agent. Who assured me that I signed up for their service when I purchased limewire. Ironically they know my username and password and I have never tried to contact limewire until now. It says my username and password are invalid. ???? It is the original username and password I used when I signed up and the only e-mail address that I have. ??? They assured me they are the ONLY technical service for limewire but they were going to quit charging me. OH joy. thanks a bunch now that you already have. And that I could continue to enjoy my lifetime membership.??? Something ain't right boys. I cannot find anywhere on the website how to contact limewire otherwise. Anyone got a phone number for them out there? I have the original limewire receipt when I purchased but it doesn't have a phone number either . Now what???

you've been scammed. you purchased "limewire pro" from another site other then http://limewire.com

change your credit card #s because these people are international criminals scamming people. uninstall the software too, and do viruses scans. if u still want limewire pro, or limewire, go to http://www.limewire.com

Trevor

no what I am telling you is I DID purchase directly from limewire pro.
Have the receipt and all right here in front of me. Ordered it last
year. Use it constantly. No problems. All of a sudden, someone has my
info and is charging me for obvious bs. So now what? I am going to
cancel my card but in the mean time how did they get my info from
limewire? They knew that I had a lifetime membership and even my order
number and e-mail address. Without me volunteering any information. I went directly to the limewire site when I
ordered it. ????? No problems until now. How do you contact limewire?
Thanks

Question confused

I purchased the limewire pro and it seems everyone can download from me, but I am not getting hardly any complete downloads. Before I was using the basic version and had no problem. Can anyone help here I am really new at this I downloaded some movies 2 to be exact and clearly I didn't understand what I was doing. I only got part of the movie and it would go back to the same frame once in a while, the other one did not copy the whole movie. What should I be looking at before I download? Can anyone help thank you?

hey that is scarrey you purchased directly from the limewire site and you are still being scammed. Contact them it must be illegal for them to keep charging you. I just purchased the pro version so I hope they are honest otherwise who will want to download the pro version if they aren't up front, I have 6 months membership. There was no life time membership offered.
