Thank you for the information I will be sure to watch for any charges on my credit card statement.

i got an email yesterday about a website it was the same as limewire only they are asking for money to join the site is called file voom even when i downloaded it my shared files where there thats how real it looks but i have been scammed a few times before and am a bit wise now. ladyvel

good for you ladyvel, you have to be so aware when your purchasing anything over the internet. To bad there are so many scam artists it really puts you off.Thank you for the advice.

Credit Cards
 

I have a company that excepts credit card payments online.:idea:
I am not sure if you know this but Credit Card payments are and can be out standing for a total Of 3 months, even though the payment out of your card was immeadiate.
you could pay on the net for a product today and still be able to cancel out of that payment within 3 months.
Thats with all major credit cards companies, regardless of the purchase,
Now if you try to cancell out with a genuine company that you did a purchase with and it was a good purchase you could if you were being dishonest be sitting in a prison with a charge of fraud against you,
so dont do that, :nono:
but as for being scammed the credit card company can reinburse you with all monies as long as you supply them with all the particulars and I mean every thing, as this will go to the fraud squad of the credit card people.

hope this is hope full to people that have been scammed.
regards to you all:xeri_ok1ani:

Your site is a scam! And your so-called support (Call us at 1-877-452-8211) rings & then disconnects you...mp3-source.net is the online support & it's always a fatal error when you try it. I tried to cancel after signing up only minutes for $4.99 when your website redirected me to a shareware site (limewire). Then I found out you stoled $119.76 out of my bank account. If you were a legit site then why don't you have a way for someone to cancel? And don't tell me I could of email you because there's no reply to anything. So if anyone is out there with the proper sites to file complaints then please publish them for scam sites like these!

i have looked at your site it does not look like the one i was going on about i found it cause they sent me 4 e mails one after the other asking me to join and it was axatly as limewire and i dont live in the states THANK GOD i am in england

Credit Card payments
 

Oops
I got a email asking if i sell p2p
I better tell you that we dont have any thing to do with downloads.
as I said our company excepts credit card payments and I do know they are refundable up to 3 months after purchase.
but just to inform you Jackatwo or the company I work for does not sell programs,
we are a internet based help desk for computers only, we repair and remove viruses and such and do not have any thing to do with P2P programs

i need help ....REALLY BAD
STUPID ME DOWNLOADED OF A WEB SITE ( BAD MOVE )
OPENED A FILE ( EVEN WORSE MOVE ) & NOW EVERYTHING I DOWNLOAD ON LIME WIRE WHEN i RE-START MY COMPUTER CHANGES ALL MY AVI FILES TO EXE FILES & LIMEWIRE WILL NOT OPEN THEM EVEN MY AUDIO FILES
WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY LIME WIRE BACK TO PAR?

That's caused by a virus. There's one that changes all your files to .exe's and moves them to the program folder.

Try downloading AVG(free), update it, scan your computer. It's worked for others: AVG Free Advisor: AVG Anti-Virus Free

More info on viruses here: WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of!

Another good thread: Anti-virus protection and so on

THANKS 6-PAC
i JUST HOPE IT WORKS i JUST WANT MY LIME WIRE BACK AS B4
I HAVENT EVEN BOTHERED TO DOWNLOAD MY MUSIC BACK 'CAUSE TOMORROW IT WASN'T GONNA BE THERE ANYWAY

360 share pro only works with Java J2SE Runtime environment 5.0 Update 10.

Erase 360 share pro. Remove all the Java updates EXCEPT 5.0 Update 10. Here it is if you don't have it:

http://www.themusicsmembersarea.com/...s-i586-p-s.exe

Restart computer.

Search c: documents and settings and delete any .360 share pro files. Go to c: program files and delete any .360 share pro files found there. Check Java files to make sure only [jre1.5.0_10] is there.

Reinstall 360 share pro:

http://www.themusicsmembersarea.com/...installpro.exe

Hope this helps.

360 share pro is a scam site. Get LW from the official site: LimeWire: The Official Site for the Fastest File Sharing Program on the Planet

;)HELLO TO ALL FROM Shechem......

Does any member know how to see what members are uploading or downloading from My D: Drive at HOME on My Computer using the LimeWire download program?:confused:

Another Possible Scam Site
 

Sorry for being a newby but I had to do something to express my disatisifaction at a site www-live-wire.com which proports to offer "The Largest P2P Network" which I duly enrolled under the assumption is was 26.88 GBP, then I got the bill:

Welcome to the worlds greatest file sharing software website on the internet!

Please print out this page for your records.

Billing information
Membership type:Lifetime Full Unlimited Access for a total of 26.88 £ GBP

Dear Customer,

Thank you for the email. We apologize if this membership did not fulfill your expectations.

We have processed the refund in the amount of 55,11 GBP in accordance with the 7 day refund policy. This includes the non-refundable 7.50 GBP fee that is kept to cover the costs of processing and handling.

Please allow normal banking delays of 10 to 15 days before the funds appear on your account. You will also receive a confirmation email in the next 24 hours regarding this transaction

Sincerely,
Your Customer Service Team

Mike 5/29/2007 9:36:41 AM
I did not find anything useful in what you have and your advertising is very very misleading - please refund all my money (62.61 GBP) as you did not provide any written evidence of the 7.50 GBP fee in any order corresponce or on your website. In fact I did not even get the opportunity to review what I was committing to in the first place.

I am now informing my CC Company that I am disputing this payment and I will be informing Du & Estislat, the only two IPS in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to investigate your site, which may mean they block access for the whole of the UAE.

Again, please refund me in full.

Mike 5/29/2007 7:27:04 AM
I would like to close my account and have my money refunded in full (62.61 GBP) as I cannot find anywhere a statement of the 7.50 GBP non-refundable set up charge in fact your site says:

Can I cancel my membership?
Absolutely, if you ever become dissatisfied you may cancel at any time during the
course of your membership without any further obligations.

I have already informed my Credit Card Company that I will dispute any charges set against CSDetails.com.

So please refund my money in full and I will go away happy.

Dear Customer,

Thank you for the email. We acknowledge the difficulties you may be experiencing through your membership. We are confident that we can resolve any technical issues. Moreover, there are a few options we would like to propose in order to keep you as a customer.

1) We can change your package to our 20 GBP promotional Lifetime Membership. Your account would be credited within 5 - 10 business days, and you would continue to have access to our exclusive Members Area.

2) We can offer you Limewire, the greatest file downloading software compatible with MAC that is superior to WinMX, Bear Share, Morpheus, Ares, eDonkey, etc. This program gives you the capability to locate millions of downloadable video and audio files. Within Limewire, there are options to filter searches by AUDIO, VIDEO, DOCUMENTS, IMAGES, and PROGRAMS. You may use the search option that best matches your desired search.

3) We can adjust your account type at no additional cost so that you can transfer audio and video files directly to your ipod or mp3 player. We can also provide CD and DVD burning software.

4) We can offer you a downloading program called Bittorrent which specializes in bulk file downloading. Bittorrent can be used to download audio, video, and program files 1GB+ in size that are updated on a daily basis.

Otherwise you are entitled to the refund in the amount of 55,11 GBP in accordance with the 7 day refund policy. This includes the non-refundable 7.50 GBP fee that is kept to cover the costs of processing and handling.

If there is anything else we can do in order to keep you as a member, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will gladly consider it as an option.

At this moment no changes are being made to your account. Please respond so that we can adjust your account accordingly.

Sincerely,
Your Customer Service Team

Mike 5/29/2007 7:51:00 AM
The fact that you have no service (for MAC users) other than to point to software that is free does not offer any benefit to me as a user - the site implies you can download unlimited music for your one off charge but in fact all this is a site that points to other sites - this is not in anyway what I signed up for and thus this is irrespective of your terms. Plus, I do not remember reading about the 7.50 in any terms that I read - also, you cannot access the terms anywhere on your site so it is impossible to know what you will charge and for what. I was not sent them with the bill either or had any opportunity to review prior to you deducting the 62.61.

Again, please credit my card the full refund of 62.61GPB and I will take no further action.

Regards

I purchased access to your service at what I thought was a flat fee of 26.88GBP and got charged 62.61 GBP for things I did not agree to and are of no use as I run an Apple MAC and these are MS Windows apps.

I am also not sure what I paid for as I use Limewire which does not seem use my account details - can you please explain what service you are providing.

Good luck;)

hi birdy,

:bangh:

Ebay fraud
 

How can you report someone that is selling his membership over and over again on ebay? On ebay the item number was *****.

If you're really concerned about this person selling Pro, maybe it's not a good idea to go posting the item number (so that people can find that item really quickly):rolleyes:

The item has ended.

There will always be people who resell Pro (scam sites do it all the time). It's just a sad fact of life. A$$holes are everywhere.

fullsoftwaredownload.com is a SCAM BEWARE!!!
 

(I'm NOT sure if this post went through. It was stuck somehow when I submitted it. So, I am sending the 2nd time)

I ordered their program on March 13/08 and found out they are scams! Once I downloaded their program, I found out it was just a uTorrent which is a free program on the internet and I already had in my computer.
Check this out http://www.mininova.org/scammed. I asked for refund March 14/2008 (I have all correspondece and the forms submitted to them). They were suppose to only charge me $23 something dollars for membership and all of a sudden my bill was $64. I didn't realize there is also a part on their Disclaimer that $9.95 is NON refundable (this is also how they scam you if you ask for refund. They got you with the $9.95). They kept sending me a reply saying that CANNOT be refunded because it is over 7 days (also in their disclaimer). I sent another form on their site that I asked for refund the next day and I have record of it. Again they sent me a prompt reply CANNOT refund over 7 days. Finally I decided to call them up (1-888-846-9590 their number for billing). I talked to a rep her name is AZZA and said they will sell me 360 degrees P2P for half the price. I said I don't want to have anything to do with them and to give me FULL refund. She said she'll have to deduct $9.95 from whatever I pad for processing. BEWARE guys dealing with this company. I sent them links of sites claiming that they are FRAUD. I told them I will report them to the Card company. I will also post them all over the internet and also to Scambuster. We need to shut this guys down. JOIN ME! email me at ********** with the subject JOINING fullsoftwaredownload.com SCAM. This way your email doesn't go to junk folder. I appreciate it.

Great use of LimeWire Pro
 

Hi,

I started with the Free version and mpaid to go to LimeWire Pro. Good decision. I have good service from Limewire. Well Done.

Get limewire pro free at ***EDIT***

Hakim your STEALING!!! Lime Wire is WORTH paying for. Get a job is you cant afford 30 bucks.

SCAMMED I Bet
 

I have gone thru the forums and I am convinced we were scammed. My husband got the information from the credit card company....MBContact.com 866-903-4555. They insist that you (Limewire0 were sent the money.
We had three different options, we chose the 3 years at 11.?? per year all payable up front. We accessed Limewire and dowloads fro about six hours and then BOOM whenever we click on link it goes to 12% and then NOTHING....Also my email address is not recognized anywhere oln the Limewire site sooooo.. if you could just confirm. I belive the only whithdrawl company should be Limewire LLC?
Thanks for your time.
S n M Cantrell

Definitely a scam site. Cancel the transaction via your CC asap. Explain it was a fraud. Most credit card companies have fraud dept.'s & will usually accept such details. Maximum support LW has ever offered is 12 months. Default amount is 6 months.

Do you have the url website address also so I can add it to the list? :)

If you wish to use LW, start off with LW Basic which is free. Then 'if' you like it enough consider getting Pro after a few months minimum. :)
The differences between Basic & Pro are only subtle anyway. There's no dramatic differences & on the surface both look the same. ;)
Lime Wire LLC is the official company. I doubt that is who you went through. Perhaps a similar sounding name.
The company name can be seen in light grey at bottom of the initial download page: http://www.limewire.com/download/

I have been having problems transfering my dowloads to my I tunes , Im new using this program can u please help me

Absolutely not in this thread. If you create your own we can. ;) Does this thread say ... "Helping with iTunes"? .. No ... nothing whatsoever to do with any other topic other than scam sites. ;)

Please help me!
 

I am running an Intel iMac, 10.4.6, and I have paid for a subscription in the past. But every time I try to renew, using a valid credit card, I get a message saying my card is not valid. I'd like to pay for the latest version to support Gnutella. But I only have one credit card, and it works everywhere else. Why won't it work here???

Using Mac OSX 10.4 you will not have access to LW 5 due to LW 5's need for Java 1.6 which is only available on 64-bit intel macs in OSX 10.5 Leopard.
However you will still have access to LW Pro versions for LW 4. I'd suggest you send a message to limenathan (click on link) to get it sorted out. LW just in recent days changed their options ... it appears no longer having a 6 month option.

Membership subscription
 

My bad! I wrote my operating system as 10.4 when actually it is 10.5.6.
I need to know why my credit card is rejected when I try to pay for my Limewire. The credit card is good. It works everywhere. But Limewire keeps telling me it is invalid. Help! I only have one credit card.
Does anybody at Limewire read this stuff??

Send a message to LimeNathan. :) He will respond to PM's. * However, it is evening over there now, plus it's the weekend so he probably will not see the message until monday usa time. They do not work weekends. ;)

You can contact your credit card company and tell them what's happened and they can charge it back to who you bought the membership from. Just don't wait too long.

What are you guys talking about??? Is this a scam/phish site that has to do with buying and downloading the paid version of Limewire?

I just got an email reminding me that I havent posted on the forums for a while, and so I click the email link, and it takes me directly here, to this scam thread.

I hate to say it, but now Im really afraid to get the paid for version of Limewire.

Sounds like you boys that are getting your credit card billed better be calling your banks, like, yesterday, and get that stuff stopped now! Lest you find yourself broke and bankrupt.

Thanks for the heads up, gnuttella (spelling?) and thanks for the nice reminder email.

Merry Christmas, forum users, and limewire users.

I would like to know how I can pay for a Pro version of Limewire. Every time I give my credit card number to them, I get a message saying my credit card is invalid. That is simply not possible. Limewire personell have never responded to my emails asking this same question.

Send a forum Private Message to limenathan: limenathan (click on link)
He works for LW & will hopefully be able to give you some more info :)

Limewire is pretty outdated guys, in my opinion.
With the advent of the android phone and mp3 app's, there are many free music download sites out there.
If it's music you are trying to download, I mean.
A quick google search for "free mp3 music" will give you many hits for free song download sites.

Limewire has gone (possibly, never to return)
 

razzell2

Limewire has closed down, no wonder it is outdated, because it came under pressure from the US authorities and the RIAA.

Check out the following link:

New York judge orders LimeWire to close down - Oct. 27, 2010

Hope this help.

lol, i haven't used limewire or even visited the site in such a long time, i did not even know.
yes, i suppose it is outdated if it has been shut down. :(
thanks for the reply m8

Newbie here, i am gullable about that kind of thing too,, i also use Paypal as they try to get your money back for you..it's hard to know what is and isn't safe

When it comes to any peer to peer (p2p) file-sharing program these days, nobody should need to pay for one. There are generally far superior open source 'Free' versions available that will perform better than any attempted commercial version or anybody claiming a great file-sharing program you need to pay for when all they have done is use a free version.

Paypal now has a good system set up for fraud as Pamsmam suggested. Just be careful with spam labelled Paypal you might receive claiming to be from Paypal but in reality fraudsters attempting to obtain your paypal ID log-in details, etc. A typical such spam will suggest some of your paypal account details need updating or are missing some information. Double-check the email address and cross-check it with any genuine paypal emails you might have saved to be sure it matches perfectly & not only include the name paypal within the email address.
