Is mp3download.net a scam? Unfortunately I am new to all of this. After purchasing an MP3 player and being directed to them (I have slept since then and can't remember how exactly, but I do remember seeing that it came highly recommended by CNN, MSN, etc). At any rate, I subscribed to it. Then was directed to download one of the softwares and I chose Limewire. I became concerned after my son told me that people were getting into trouble for downloading using these programs. Please forgive my ignorance on this, but I thought that by buying the 34.95 membership I was okay. Now I think not and am worried that I did something illegal and will get into trouble.

Yes it is a scam site, they charged you for something that you can get for free...You can get limewire basic for free....Go back through this thread on ways to get your money back...

Also if you type legal into the search function you will see many threads on the issue....

Hi, This is my first time on a forum. I purchased lime wire pro yesterday. It will open only on my daughters page but not mine. When i tried to e mail them, it says it does not recognize my e mail. It had no problem recognizing my bank account because I was promptly charged the $34.95. I am so frustrated because there seems to be no way to contact them... I just want to cancel. Any suggestions?

I would contact your bank and try to get the charges reversed...There are some really helpful tips within this thread on how other people got their money back...

limewire does not recognize my email
 

Thanks for the reply I am not the brightest computer user in the box and couldn't really see what else I could do but notify my band since I have no way to contact limewire. I get so frustrated.

Thanks Birdy - you're a champ. Luckily, I paid through PayPal so think I'll probably get a refund (we'll see). I should have been more caregul, bu there you have it. Thank you so much for your help. It's people like you who make the world go round.
Kind regards
