Default I think I've been burned too

The long version
Here in Australia I thought I'd paid for a basic Limewire 4.8.1 download at about $28. After going throught the payment process I saw I was debited about $54. The extra was for some unwanted DVD download facility and an unwanted spyware detector. I received a receipt email from an MP3 download site whose details I unfortunately don't have with me (I'm at work). They are uncontactable, no email address and a US phone no. that is only supposedly active at times that are useless to me in Australia. I did get the basic Limewire 4.8.1 program but that's hardly difficult.
The short version
I reckon I've been scammed. And I didn't realise till I saw some of the comments in this forum. I wonder if I can halt/reverse the payment? Will find out tomorrow morning.
What I'd really like
a. To find out if this uncontactable MP3 company is a geniune portal for Limewire
b. To find some way of contacting the Limewire accounts people in case this was a genuine transaction, and get it amended.
