yea mint

Well, I'll join in and admit that we were also duped by imusicsearch.com. We joined the lifetime membership...I know, I know, it was stupid...for about 40 bucks. We thought since the whole stink with Napster that you could only get filesharing software if you paid for it. My brother in law, who the biggest "soulseek" fan you'd want to meet, kept telling me that I shouldn't have to pay for anything. I should have listened to him. When I asked for a refund, they told me the 30 day refund time has passed and I'm out of luck. Anyway....here's the email transaction between me and the oh so bright one at imusicsearch.com

Unfortunately, I didn't realize that your service was a scam until today
when I actually became educated on the hundreds of these scams running on
the net that take unsuspecting people's money for a service that you don't
even offer...or for a better choice of words, for a service isn't yours. I
can go to limewire.com and download it for free..completely without your
service. It certainly shouldn't have cost me $43.15. So what exactly is this
"lifetime" membership giving me? Filesharing software that's free to
download if only you know to visit their website? But that's ok. I will be
reporting this and passing this information on to to others. I will also be
filing a claim with paypal about your service. Hopefully they will be able
to assist in the refund of my $43.15. If you would like to read more
information on your scam and hundreds like yours just visit
www.gnutellaforums.com.

Their reply:
We don't sell the software you use. We only provide tech support for it.
GnutellaForums is a sight maintained and operated by LimeWire.com and is
biased against all others. Our service is not a scam and is a valuable
service to many of our customers. For some it is unnecessary which is why
we offer a 30 day refund policy. Try getting that from any of the other
sites.

What more can I say?? But I really appreciate you guys informing people that these guys are cons. I'll chalk it up to experience but maybe posts like this will help other uninformed people make the right decision.

Me too.
Got caught yesterday. Should know better. Maybe I was caught off guard 'cos I'm so used to using http://www.mp3shits.com to download at $0.10 a track.

Nonetheless - just scoured allcoolmusic's site and spotted the 30 day money back guarantee (on the faq page). I'll let you know if they keep their word - or not.

I was also billed but didn't even think about it until checking out the forum. It was through a site called imusicsearch.com and there were three levels of "membership". I feel like such a fool.....

So why are google ads still being used around here when they throw nothing but "buy free hacked up limewire here" ads at everyone?

I came here looking for a different subject and learn I've been duped by the same company. I called the 908-248-3113. I'll wait and see if I hear anything, it didn't have any company name to it though. I came across their site from gateway rewards.com when I thought, great, I'll try that to get a year's worth of Starbucks, and gateway rewards is another scammer too.

I'm angry about this of course, they keep emailing me too (mymusicinc.), but this is 3-4 months ago I did this, but I'll report it to my bank as fraud. Don't see much else I can do.

If I may ask, how do I know which songs and movies I download are safe to share as I don't want lawyers and attoryneys knocking on my door for illegal sharing. I have copied a lot of stuff into other folders on my computer, but I don't know if all can be put up to share, how can I be safe in the sharing, I want to share without problems, please help.

Thanks,

Well, just ask your favourite artist (or fartist for short) whether she's OK with sharing the stuff:

http://www.britneyspears.com/

I filtered out that url.

Did you read the thread? You aren´t in the recordes because you never bought the Limewire PRO version, the basic version which you are using is FREE... you don´t need to pay for faster downloads because this isn´t possioble, because you are downloading from people like you and me and not from big servers.

Ask for a refund!!!

in future download ONLY from the official Limewire site:

Look at the bottom of their web page, you'll see:
Copyright © 2004 - All rights reserved

This copyright notice without a copyright owner name is a sure sign that this is not a legitimate business!

Look at the "privacy policy" link: it is not signed!

Now look at "affiliates": a crap made by and for spammers stealing your money with multilevel (pyramidal) marketing schemes, or "get million dollars fast"!

You will not see anywhere any legitimate and registered business name, no address, no phone or fax number, not even an email to contact...

Now go to the bottom of the page: it's full of tiny invisible text, with links to various P2P programs. They are there just to feed some search engines with keywords...

Now go to the "Terms of service". The contract is not qualified by a provable entity (its signed between "you" and "we, filesharing center", i.e. the trademark used to name the website, but not to designate the owner.

There are so many other signs there that should indicate that this is a scam. Now you're educated. This site is stealing money, and if it distributes some software, it is certainly hacked to contain some stealthware (spamware, backdoors, spywares, keyloggers, credit card stealer...)

Don't trust them: if they used your credit card, reclaim your money to your bank immediately. I'm sure that no company will manifest to your bank to justify the payment, so such opposition will push your bank to start a legal action and track the abuser that has stolen money at your bank!

Bank robery is a crime!
