I think I've been scammed as well! I was in a bit of a rush as I was about to rush of to a gig and I needed to hear a song so my band could play it, someone suggested Limewire. I thought I had logged on to Limewire but obviously not (I found the site with a search on Google) and yes I paid for a 2year subsctiption (99p - UK- per month I think!).

Then I got an email from MP3MusicHQ.com with a bill as follows (UK prices):

Quantity Description Amount
1 2 Year Membership 14.16
1 PRO-Version 9.97
1 SpyRemover 8.88
Total Charge 33.01

and a link to http://MP3MusicHQ.com/me/login.asp which threw me as there was no mention of Limewire yet it mentioned the order ID number that had been generated when I placed the order. I followed the link (which now cannot be contacted!) and there was no email address etc only a phone number (which I called (my face is going red as I think how this must sound) where I had to leave a message as there was no answer. (There was also something about Mp3ehlpdesk.com who say they act on behalf of various internet companies.)

MY QUESTIONS are:

1 Is the livewire program I downloaded OK or is it different/bad in some way?
2 I paid (foolishly, cos I was in a rush) with a DEBIT card not A CREDIT CARD! so I don't suppose I am covered?
3 Will they keep trying to take money out of the account or can they only do it on a one off? (I don't know how these sytems work)

Sorry it's so long. I've read lots of messages on this subject and you all seem like really nice, helpfull people. I hope someone can put my mind at rest on the above.

Cheers
