1st check their site to see if they have a support page & contact emails. If yes, request a refund. If no go, then go to your bank/CC rep. & let them know you were scammed & didn't get what you paid for despite their advertising.

Seriously, though. The folks running these scam sites, and some have twenty or more all aliased to a basic site, are really into keeping a low profile. They're operating on the edge of legality (most of the terms of service announcements say, in very small type, that they have no connection with the actual owners of the software being downloaded. They go on to say, on another page, that they are supplying technical support only, so what they're doing is not, technically, illegal).

Some folks are getting their money back if they complain, but most are being charged a $9.95 "handling fee", so the "vendor" is going to sting you for ten bucks regardless.

I went through my bank and had them challenge the charge and, wonder of wonders, I got it back. I can only guess that that is for one of two reasons: first, with all the money they're making, why mess around with a trouble maker like me, and with his bank. Two: they want to keep a low profile, and don't want the banks investigators snooping around.

So, you may be able to get some of your money back, but don't get your hopes up too high.

I signed up and paid at the limewire site. Now 4 months later I am being charged by a MPMUSICHQ-COM out of CA. I can't hardly understand the foreign recording nor could I hardly understand the foreign customer service agent. Who assured me that I signed up for their service when I purchased limewire. Ironically they know my username and password and I have never tried to contact limewire until now. It says my username and password are invalid. ???? It is the original username and password I used when I signed up and the only e-mail address that I have. ??? They assured me they are the ONLY technical service for limewire but they were going to quit charging me. OH joy. thanks a bunch now that you already have. And that I could continue to enjoy my lifetime membership.??? Something ain't right boys. I cannot find anywhere on the website how to contact limewire otherwise. Anyone got a phone number for them out there? I have the original limewire receipt when I purchased but it doesn't have a phone number either . Now what???

you've been scammed. you purchased "limewire pro" from another site other then http://limewire.com

change your credit card #s because these people are international criminals scamming people. uninstall the software too, and do viruses scans. if u still want limewire pro, or limewire, go to http://www.limewire.com

no what I am telling you is I DID purchase directly from limewire pro.
Have the receipt and all right here in front of me. Ordered it last
year. Use it constantly. No problems. All of a sudden, someone has my
info and is charging me for obvious bs. So now what? I am going to
cancel my card but in the mean time how did they get my info from
limewire? They knew that I had a lifetime membership and even my order
number and e-mail address. Without me volunteering any information. I went directly to the limewire site when I
ordered it. ????? No problems until now. How do you contact limewire?
Thanks

good luck

hey that is scarrey you purchased directly from the limewire site and you are still being scammed. Contact them it must be illegal for them to keep charging you. I just purchased the pro version so I hope they are honest otherwise who will want to download the pro version if they aren't up front, I have 6 months membership. There was no life time membership offered.

I purchased the limewire pro and it seems everyone can download from me, but I am not getting hardly any complete downloads. Before I was using the basic version and had no problem. Can anyone help here I am really new at this I downloaded some movies 2 to be exact and clearly I didn't understand what I was doing. I only got part of the movie and it would go back to the same frame once in a while, the other one did not copy the whole movie. What should I be looking at before I download? Can anyone help thank you?

This is a copy of the email I recieved when I
subscribed to limewire. I,'ve removed the private stuff. I still have the original email.
