Two ways:
1) ->ask and re-ask the scammers by email for a refund since they are providing a free product for a charge and that they are lying about 100% legal downloads (DON'T email people at limewire.com, this is their legit addresses, not the scammers addresses)

2) ->if you just "registered" their service, try to stop the money transfer by calling your bank and telling them you've been scammed


Fight back! ->please file a complaint to the FBI with the scammers web site address: http://www.ifccfbi.gov/index.asp (www.limewire.com is NOT the scam website, link the one you registered onto)

It is true that GPL permits selling of software, HOWEVER
Those sites are illegal and fraudulous because:
-They do not give access to FrostWire source, as required by the GPL
-They lure new non-experimented users into thinking that a subscription gives them the right of legally downloading copyrighted works (Unlimited songs, movies, Legal) which is totally false, as other P2P activities, respect your country laws
-They don't tell what software users are getting (all 100% free software) and links to official websites
-They don't tell that the only thing they could charge, is the support over the usage of the softwares (a support often better on official web sites and forums)

How they work:
-Big scammers makes many websites to lure as many newbies as they can to pay (for exemple, mymusicinc.com, musicinc.cc and allcoolmusic.com have all the same owner), while softwares have only one official website.
-They pay Google many thousands of dollars for ads that are displayed accordingly to your search keywords or the subjects of a web page you visit.
-Once they get too many frustrated users on one site, the scammers close the site and reopen another one with a different address and different design.
-They make millions while legits software developers most often work for nothing.

Please spread the word and use this thread to share your experiences and exchange ideas about how to get a refund.

They do NOT deserve your money over OTHER's work. Do NOT encourage those parasites.

Ive been scammed by http://themoviesmembersarea.com .
I don't know how can I get my money back, please somebody help me...:(

Have you contacted your bank/CC company? Depending on how long ago you paid, they might still be able to cancel the transaction. You should at least report it to them, most have a department to handle scams/fraud. Have a read through the thread below, you'll see how some people have been able to get money back from scammers:)

If it is still possible, try to cancel the transaction. Talk to your bank, they should have a special department dealing with internet scams.

Well, because some people understand why the $18.88 (to support the further development of the client) and others, jerks like you, don't.........do not expect any help from here, or at least not from me,.....go to where you stole the pro.........
And dare NOT to reply to this post; you have already broken the forum rules once with this post.......!!!!!:mad:
