Default Known Scam Sites

Well worth checking thru this list: P2P Forums :: View topic - P2PForums.com's Guide to Avoiding Rogue P2P Sites
Keep in mind that list is an older one & 'new' scam sites exist!!! The following is a Quick Reference list & an abbreviated list that only applies to p2p apps that are related to the Gnutella Forums & is a more up to date list than the previous link; the 2nd list below (re: LimeWire) specifically refers to sites reported on this forum & is more thorough than the general list but check both re: LW scam sites:

* * * (PLEASE report your dealings with the scam site here: Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) | Home If more people report these scam sites the FBI might be able to get them off the internet for good; permanently beridded of! So on your behalf & other potential leagues of the scammed, "please" report your experience!) This was recently posted by gubatron on the LW forums: Finally, they go against Scam sites; ie: if enough people report them then hopefully similar action will be taken!!! Scammer Website Owner Revealed (click on link) also has other links you can make official complaints to.

I mentioned before but worth repeating are Limewire & Shareaza Clones: Limewire clones - Gnutella Forums
& http://www.lime-wire.net/ Scum version - see sample scam web page!
Etomi dirty clone with spyware from mp3downloading.com / filesharingcentre.com/ More about Etomi Here!
360Share is equivalent to Etomi & also sold by scam sites such as 360share.com/ & others!


Note!: If you've been scammed by such a site but it isn't listed here, please send me a pm so I can add it to the list. Simply click my username & select send personal message from the drop down menu & tell me the details: the site address & name & what they were offering, etc. I will need to verify it however! If I don't have enough details or I can't verify it then it won't be added!


Any site that says Lifetime membership or Unlimited downlds or free music, movies, games, etc. is a scam site.

Movie Download Scam Sites | THE source for BitTorrent & P2P Tips, Tricks and Info. | FileShareFreak

Below is the icon of one of a chain of scam sites that goes under different names & has multiple addresses. The Squid sucks the blood out of your finances. MP3MusicLive.com.., _ http://www-etomi.com/g/, _ 360share - Your Ultimate Music & Movie Download Site _ & _ Bearshare2008.com - Your Ultimate Music & Movie Download Site are just a few of many on the above list with this logo.





If you would like to see the first four pages of a 'typical' scam site, click on the first four (4) attachments at bottom of post (were a little large to show on this page. ) CLICKBANK is frequently used by Scam sites for their payments! LimeWire do not use ClickBank. _ ClickBank claim they are in process of removing scam sites from their business, time will tell! http://www.gnutellaforums.com/genera...-websites.html (However week later & still scam sites using ClickBank to handle their payments as reported on these forums by a victim.)

A problem with these things happening is people using search engines such as Google which show Sponsored results & people get confused. None of the official gnutella programs above pay for Sponsored advertisements. Only SCAM sites pay for sponsored search results!!!








And another typical Google Scam advertisement (if you would like to see the first 4 pages of that advertised site, click on the first 4 attachments below):
