Who else has this happened to ??
 

Hi - I'm new on here but I just wanted to ask if anyone has payed for LIMEWIRE PRO 4.8.1 using PAYPAL. i PAYED FOR IT ON THE 12TH MARCH 2005 and when I got my bank statement I was horrified to see that I had been charged £480.02 - which is $900 !!! and am now over drawn and have sent paypal various emails as well as limewire - with no replies so far - has this happened to anyone else as I need some help ???
Thanks

If you've not gone to the official limewire site and you paid it to some other rip off merchant then you've no comeback. I'm pretty sure Limewire will advise you if you had officially gone through them and followed their link to paypal.

I wish you luck and hope you get your problem resolved soon.

some people did get their money back after being fooled by the scam sites . . . see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=28751

Please call Pay Pal at this phone number. Toll Free from the USA. E-mail is not much help. Always best to talk to a Pay Pal rep.

if you use 1899.com's software you can dial usa numbers for free or even use fwd.pulver.com service... hope this info is useful to you.

update
 

An update on where I'm at - phoned up PAYPAL in USA -on the phone for 1 hour !!! - hope that 1899 thing works Lancslad ! Apparantely someone in December used my Paypal account to the tune of £465 and took it out of my paypal - so when the next time I used it - I got charged this £480 for Limewire - so I'm now sending off evidence to Paypal in the USA that I had no idea of this and waiting for them hopefully to investigate it and to get my money back - Be aware everyone of what you do on line - I never thought this would happen to me - it has - I still have no idea how this person has got my password for my paypal account . Thanks for the help from Lancslad and Luckydawg !!
I'll let you know if I get my money back !

Well! So there's some kind of scam that changes the total charge under the next legitimate paypal purchase a person makes?

Scary!

Its a pleasure to help towser...

Good Luck

NO NEVER HEARD A SAUSAGE FROM LIMEWIRE AFTER EMAILS TO DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS.
