Default Scammed?

Again, it seems that another person, in this case "miller49", has been scammed.

If he (or she) paid for this mysterious (non-existent) membership and then was directed to download freebie LimeWire (not Pro) then he or she has been scammed.

There is this old saying, well over a hundred years old, which was told to someone by the owner of a gambling den during the time of the Alaskan gold rush. The den owner was asked why he didn’t go out looking for gold like all the other prospectors.
The den owner replied, “there’s gold in a fools pocket, there’s lots of it and its easier to get”.

The scammers see internet users, particularly new internet users, as fools with gold lined pockets. Unless user become more careful and stop throwing their money at every flashy advert they see these scam artists will not only continue with their "nothing for your money" adverts they will dominate the internet.
