Can somebody let me use the email address they bought LimeWire Pro with because the email i used had expired so won't work and can't update

It seems to me that a lot of the sites look similar. One thing I've noticed with any scam site is they usually have a 3-step process where you give very personal info that they shouldn't need. On the filesharing ones they usually have a pretty long list of bullets on thier main page.

Definately try to dispute this charge w/ the credit card company. I too have been scammed in the past, it's not a fun thing. Luckily, you only lost a small amount of money, I lost a lot more. Live and learn. I'm more careful now but it's so easy to be taken. Good luck.

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

long story http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=20771

it's not only here: the ads are automatically targeted to the keywords on the page. Soon after a site admin block them, they show up again, probably tiggered by different keywords and linked to different sites. However they do it--innocent money ends up in the wrong pockets. :mad:

hehe--the advertisers are as quick as filesharers in getting around blocks. ;)

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.

I did the same thing through the same site. I was routed there through an email I received after visiting the LW website, thanking me for visiting and asking me to join. I also noticed the same day was charged for pro seperately that I never asked for.
