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.)

If it's too late to cancel the transaction thru your bank/credit card company, then contact them anyway & inform them this is a scam site & that you want to prevent any future possible chance of them re-charging you. Some scam sites do charge monthly or yearly. Most banks/credit co.'s do have some type of special dept. dealing with these matters. So if you've reported them there will be a record & hopefully they can do as you request. Another point would be to go back to the original site & see if there is a cancel membership option. Generally this would be found under support or membership pages. It will most likely be in very fine print.

ASAP go to your bank/credit company & explain it was a scam. You need your money back.

Did you receive any software? Is it Limewire? What did you get?

Re: Stief's post; yep I've been making note of them & reporting to CC but still a few keep coming back. Last I heard CC was going to get things fixed up with google, etc. But it doesn't seem to have worked. I'll re-report them as I've been doing.

Default i got scam TOO!!!!

I got scam by filesharingcenter.com toofor 19.95. I am fighting paypal to stop the tranfer of my funds to this Christopher Carson who is running this Scam.
Here is the email his tech service sent me.The service we provide is much more than just P2P software, we provide
users
with the latest versions of the most popular P2P software in one page,
as
well with tutorials on how to use them and how the get the most off
them.
There are also utilities available for download in our site, and
different
useful subpages like the CD-Covers links, the spyware killers, etc.
Also, a
very important part of our service is that we offer the users the
technical
support in case they have a problem or just a concern with one of the
programs or any other material listed in our members area.

Since we do not host the files themselves, but the files for the
programs
that will let you download them, the transfer rate is dependent on the
user
or server sending the specified file (multiple users and servers are
available for download at the same time).

Most users find the service very helpful.

HOW TO START:
We are not a music/movie file server. To start, you have to download one
of
the programs to file share.
You will find these programs in the download section..
The set up instructios for that program you will find in the "Help &
FAQ"
section.
To burn CDs you will find different programs it the utility section.
Take your time and read the info we provide at the different sections.

This is the procedure.

1. Go to File Sharing center
2. Login
3. Go to Download Music/Movie Center. Choose a program.and download it.
We
recomend Morpheus or Limewire.
4. Go to FAQ which is below the program.
5. Go to Utility Section. and download the spyware killer and the pop up
stoper and install them.
6. Install the P2P program..... you choose to download.
7. Choose a Song/Movie to down load. Using the steps in the FAQ.

Please contact us if you are still having trouble


I hope Paypal can help me

Question the filesharing website?

I know this post is old but I have a question about the website that was mentioned in this post..it was the www.filesharingcenter.com website..I was also suckered into purchasing the 19.95 package....It also listed 2 extra add on packages..For 9.95 per package, extra, you could download playstation 1 and 2 games and the other one was a program for buring your own dvd's...Can anyone give me any info on where I can download the ps games?..I dont want to be naive and pay the 9.95 extra for either of those..
