p2p SCAM
 

Got another scammer for ya....allcoolmusic.com, they also have other's besides Limewire on their sight too download. I asked them for a refund, and they said they refunded me, have to check with my bank to make sure they did just that.

Please go there and tell me what you think, as this is really ludicrous that they cna get away with this!!

Many ads here are for SCAMS!!!
 

Novices beware... many of the Goooooogle ads here on the top of every Gnutella Forums web page are SCAMS!

Poetic justice I guess... these forums are funded by ad money from the SCAMMERS... But that does not help the poor novices, who may think they can trust Gnutella Forums ADS -- they are gonna be duped...

We try to filter those ads, but they just keep appearing.

Good to know that at least you're trying. In the past few days it seems to me that 50% of the ads up on top are for SCAMS! I click on them just for fun... and to make them earn their money... haha.

A more up to date list of scam sites can be seen here: List of Scam Sites which was originally taken from the above site & added to as they have come to hand thru this forum.

As far as the scam sites advertising on the forum, these ads should be ignored! The official sites for all the clients represented on this forum can be seen from the appropriate client section or even from the above list.

It's basically a weekly chore!

Welll. I am really mad beause I got it through bear ware. I paid $25 for one year ($17 something USA) and My songs keep skipping. Other than that it's a great site and I love it. The credit card company won't do anything...but send me some sheet to fill out AFTER the fact.
I am so scared of buying online and never do it...and after the fact now I feel so dumb that it was right in my face.

My mother sent me the site and says she has it and oves it so what the hey. Maybe she got lucky? She said she paid $27 buh

.

THIS IS THE BAD SITE!!!!

http://www.free-bearshare.com/cks.

SOO. I should delete that download and get the new one thrugh limewire...even though I ended get limewire in the end...It must just be a fake? A copy? Is the basic worth getting????

Kaukalukka

Well if you want to try LW out then get the Basic version here: http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml & then see how you like it.

OK. I have your free verson and whenever I try and downlaod a song I get a mesage saying "Lime Wire cannot find a liecnce for this file. ...PLease repect copyright laws...ect? So I cannot D/L anything?

:mad:

Whats up...I just want a song D/L that doesn't skip or jump or whatever. please.

Kuakakukka:

I have Limewire, and it works pretty good for me. What you do is select the songs you want to download onto your MP3 (what kind is it?) and after downloading FROM Limewire, you got to download onto the MP3 website. Let me know how this works out, as it took me quite a while to "master" it...lol

I am d/L on to my computer....Not an MP3 player

Theres a site that I visit recently that is about mp3s. I didn't do anything...just browsing...but after a while I receive an email that is from someone that claims to be working on this site inviting me to check out the mp3s they have....

I thought WTF??? How the heck did they do that??? Then I realise that its better to block this sender. Thank God I now got immune from this.

mymusicinc.com
 

Is this one the sites that we have on the list? Hope that I have not made a mistake but I'm a rude limey.



Pat-

That will not get you a refund. Apologize and I will promptly refund you.

hi there,

Just wondering if any one can help. went on to emule.com to download and pay for share software, and by reading the rogue sites list realised this is not an official site. Does anyone have suggestions on what i should do, i'm the sort of person who likes to be above board when it comes to this. Should i report it?

any help will be grateful
thanks mike.

As you have hopefully discovered, the official Emule site is www.emule-project.net

www.emule.com is in no way related to scam sites, e-mule, or anything else related! unless you are actually referring to www.emule.org which is a scam site.

This last site is listed as a scam site, and if you have paid them money the following link may help.

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...ight=%24%24%24

As for actually reporting scam sites, I'm not absolutely sure if there is a body you can usefully report them to.

This thread will also be of interest if you have not seen it.

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751

Does this help?

It is really a minefield out there and I notice that www.emule-project.net has advertisements for scam sites at the top of the page. This sort of thing happens also in these forums and the way the advertising works makes it very dificult to stop.

Also www.emule.org is very similar indeed to the official emule site, and it becomes pretty confusing, to the point that I am not 100% sure what I have said in the first post is accurate:confused:

This is similar & lists a link that you can report scam sites to. Known Scam Sites You can thank et voilà for the link to the FBI.

Another scam URL
 

http://www.m*****tvshow.com
leads too http://www.themoviesmembersarea.com after signing up.

Then you get NO confirmation email unless you inquire about it. And then your confirmation receipt is from http://www.mp3downloading.com and this in turn leads to an email from http://www.marketbill.com where the moneys was processed by.

Accept nothing less then the total purchase amount to be returned in a timely manner to you. Do not accept processing fee. Argue till you get the total amount reimbursed. Even if it takes a few emails/chats. http://www.marketbill.com was easily intimidated to return the total amount.

The Guardian UK has done some investigating, and names Download-It-Free.com, Montreal-based Market Engines Inc, run by Daniel Assouline and Michael Dadoun

here's a snip

Does anyone know if Mp3extreme is a scam?

http://www.mp3extreme.com/eflp.php?p...9390&K=mp3&K2= Yes it is. This was the link for LW http://www.mp3extreme.com/g-common2B...5b36&PROV=-FW2

It appears to use a search engine to find "sponsored" ads, so you end up finding mostly scam sites. Many of which are listed here Known Scam Sites (click on link) but also some new scam sites.

well.. I did not pay much for it and it was a singular payment, could they still charge more money onto my account???? :yikes:

learning
 

Hi there,

I just want to learn p2p network, as I am a student.

Think this is not the right place for this, but post your questions... we will help you as fast as possible...

By the way, the first link in this discussion doesn't work anymore... It needs to be updated...

And here shareaza.com is listed as the official website... which is not true anymore.

Emusic does scam. When you cancel your account, they send you an email if you click on it they automatically reactivate your account and they DO NOT tell you or send you a confirmation email. I am currently trying to get my wasted $90 back because I did not track my credit card charges well enough. My bad but YES THEY DO SCAM. Oh and they will not give you a refund even though they can see you never downloaded any music and did mean to cancel your account 8 months ago... They also will nto let you talk to any supervisors and hold you hostage when you try to call and complain. I reported them to the BB also.

Just want people to know that even so called legit companies can scam.
