sucker is flying high
Default How I got suckered...

My brother told me about Limewire. I thought I'd try it out. Knowing nothing about it I figure I'll go to Google and do a search for "Limewire". I didn't know I could have simply gone to "limewire.com" to download it. Some sites have multiple software products so you have to go to the company website (like if you want to download Adobe Acrobat Reader you have to go to adobe.com, not "AcrobatReader.com").

At Google I see at the top of the screen in the blue shaded (the "sponsored links") area a link called "Download Limewire (tm) 2007". So I click on it and follow the prompts to download Limewire. I actually paid the darned subscription! I didn't know Limewire is shareware at the time. Once all was said and done I found I can't download a Mac version.

I finally looked-into-it and found I was scammed by downloading from "Limewire.Free-MP3-Share.com". I was then sent an e-mail from "themusicsmembersarea.com" with my password to log-in. If I go to themusicsmembersarea.com and login then choose Support the website tells you that you only have the option of e-mail support and asks for your e-mail address. When you input that it says "no access". So there's no way to contact these scammers.

There's supposedly a free 7-day trial period and I'm still in that 7 day window, but I called the phone number I found in a forum on the web (their website leads you nowhere) and a message says that due to heavy holiday volume they're closed today and to get any support info you need from a website (mydownloading.com) which of course leads you NOWHERE. So, now when I call again on Monday assuming I get hold of a human I'm sure they're going to claim I'm past my 7 day trial period. BUT THEY ARE CLOSED DURING THEIR POSTED HOURS!

Do any of these scam operators ever get arrested?

Contact your Credit card company and tell them that you paid a scam site..See if you can get your money back that way...
