Default Get the *******s!!!

I left a question re paying for Limewire and found out along with a lot of other people that I had been ripped off. I rang my bank who couldn't do anything about it. I then went to IBILLCS.COM and informed them of the situation. They refunded the money immediately. The rip off ***** are www.klitesite.com.

Another thread 'Limewire clones' that probably fits in here also worth a mention. And there's a large list PLUS Shareaza clones. Clones is enough to trick people from getting what they may have been looking for. See: http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27177

2) It was a visa transaction
Just tell them to cancel it straight out (but b/c it was a scam.)

Umm...Sharkie what 2nd edition are you refering to? I hope you got LW pro thru the official LW site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/home.shtml

You can get a CD edition. But as far as I know that's all.

lizziebrad I'm sorry LW customer support didn't get to your problem before the weekend but they will I assure you. And yes if you don't eventually get the registration to come thru then you should get your money back. You should at least get an extension on your registration for the period you haven't been able to downld the softw. Sorry to hear there's been this type of issue. About a month back they had a problem for a day or two with their online registration which may have cropped up again.

Keep an eye out, just make sure their mail doesn't end up in your junkmail.

Yes sflanagan it looks like you were scammed too. As you can see from the previous page ww.mymusicinc.com is on the list of scam sites. To think you could have got LW for free or the Pro version for $18.88, the best advice is usually to try to cancel the transaction asap. But since yours was over a month ago I think you just have to put it down to experience. But make sure they do not have the ability to re-charge you. Some of these scam sites will automatically re-charge after a period.

For those of you who have come across MyMusicInc.com scammers then please see AnnieJo's last post here re: phone number for getting your money back! : http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=34352 Don't let the scammers get ANY money! They just sit there waiting to be busted! It will happen one day! And there will be a massive applaud when that happens!

It looks that way yes. There's no lifetime membership to Limewire (LW.) The Basic version if free. So they were having you pay just to show you to the downld site which does not belong to them. Nor does LW itself have any relationship with those people. It's a new enterprise for people to put together attractive sites saying downld all you want & just pay a membership. Then show you to the free downld site. (By the way there's also a clone or few of LW that aren't as good.)

If I were you I would contact the credit company ASAP & cancel the transaction & explain these people were scammers.

This is the official LW download site: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml (& downld.com or another site actually host the files.)
