Angry Getting your money back....hahahahahahahahaha

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.
