No you guys, im not mad at LW. Im po'd that everyone keeps telling me that I dont have the friggin pro version! I DO! I can read. I go under the about tab and right there plain as day, it says LIME WIRE PRO 4.12.6 Im upset because LW can not explain to me how this company can sell THERE pro edition if they are not allowed too! ALLCOOLMUSIC.com can not make up functions inside SOMEONE elses software. If it says PRO right in the about folder than it is. I am going to get it off my puter. Right now. Then I will buy it direct from LW! I just wanted them to tell me if i can still keep all the crap I downloaded or not but no one there will budge. So not mad at LW. I just wish LW would have said they are not allowed to sell our pro version because if they did than more people could have better grounds to go after these F**** for doing what they do. When I download something that says i am downloading mp3shark or whatever it was, that is what should come up. They even said there would be an mp3shark icon on my desktop. I guess i am upset with LW for not going after them. I guess when i see what LW basic has to ofeer than I can better comment because if I do have there pro version, then they are getting ripped off since I didnt buy it from them! Going to unload this now!
Wish me luck! And dont boo hoo me guys, this is the spot to talk about this. thats why I posted! I just wanted others to know that allcoolmusic and my-new-music are NOT trusted sites, I read some where on these boards in a very lengthy post that they were but read in another that on LW is legit for LW software! I am trying to get my money back but these idiots wont respond to me. Thereis no chat feature to chat with them on. just an email no one answers and a phone number that goes to Vmail which i have left 4 messages on so far today! I paid with my debit card so my bank cant do squat till after it posts. So I have to have patience here!

just wanted to say that I did not loose anything by removing the scamware from my computer! PHEW! I did have PRO. I dont have turbo charged speeds or anythibg like i did before. Does not look much diffirent but it is a bit. As soon as I get my refund I can upgrade to pro like I would like.

Hi Everyone!
Well I have been having nothing but trouble with LW and went scouting around for some help and happened upon this thread.
My problem with LW is that in checking with other folks, they got theirs FREE and I had to pay.


Let me back up. I went to a Morpheus site and was willing to pay to download it. So I downloaded what I though was Morpheus and ended up with LW. Now the price was $24.99 I believe and by the time I got done, it ended up being nearly $40. I did not click anywhere that I wanted any additional software, I just got it!

So I figure, ok Dena ya got it see how it works.

I could download music, but no one could get to my shared file, because when I tried to set the options for shared files, the page would not go all the way to the bottom, nor could it be dragged down, for me to click ok!

(I don't mind sharing. I am a sharin' kinda gal!)

So I went to look for some help, as emails went unanswered as did the phone.

I found this forum, and went

I have contacted my credit card company, faxed them all the paperwork, emailed yet again to LW (no answer), and the CC company assured me they would get a complete refund for me.

To be honest, I am now afraid to download the FREE version of LW.

How can I import my music library or save it? I only managed to download about 6 songs from LW so my library is mainly from Morpheus.

This seems like a very nice and helpful site.

LW's email support won't recognise your email address, since you didn't buy Pro from the official site (your email address won't be in the database)

You're far better off getting rid of the scam version & any other extras that came with it - who knows what kind of version you ended up with!

It's a bit hard for us to help if you're using a scam version, it might be complete junk & never work properly. If you do decide to get the official version, make sure to use the offline installer (not the recommended one).

Ugh, I was scammed just hours ago by MP3MusicHQ. I was at Google searching for Lime Wire to DL, and got a site that I assumed was Lime Wire. It gave me some kind of deal like free music downloads for .99 cents a month and I agreed. I put in my credit card information, downloaded some cheap **** excuse for a music system, and was on my way to being scammed. I tried to download some songs, but it wasn't working. I checked my bank account and they had charged me for like 30 bucks, plus 8.99 for some spam blocker I DID NOT sign up for. I then Googled the site because I got suspicious and found like 5 sites saying it was a scam. Let me just say how stupid I felt at that point. I found a few forums and topics with posts about how to call and deal with it and proceeded to do so.

This was one of the funniest phone calls I have ever had. The guy, first of all, sounded like he was sitting on his couch, munching on Doritos, watching Cat Woman. He had to spell out my email address in army lingo three separate times, and then claimed the system was down. I refused to get off the phone and mentioned the word "scam" and the system magically came back up. He then told me they would refund me money but they had to charge me a 9.95 fee. I had read a post on a different forum where they told a guy this, and he mentioned the FBI and they immediately took it back. That worked like a charm. I refused to pay the fee and he said "they" would refund my money. By "they" I am assuming he meant him and his lame **** buddy who make money off screwing people. Long story short, they said I’m getting a full refund in 8-10 business days. He then said "Anything else you would like to B**** about?" I laughed and said no, and hung up.

Well done! That's the way to deal with them. And he probably was watching TV & munching on doritos. lol

The official LW download site is http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml Start with LW Basic & see how you go.

Hi I have just found this forum and so wish I had found it before!

I have been scammed today by emule.org, I was searching for emule as had heard it was OK and I have been having trouble finding stuff with Limewire recently. I signed up only to find it had charged me the extra for spyware or something that I didn't ask for and that doesn't work on a Mac anyway. The only software offered was Limewire which I have, BitTorrent which is free and some other thing that didnt work.

I didn't realise immeditely that I had been scammed just thought I was being stupid or there was a problem cos I use a Mac. Anyhow after I realised I tried to find contact details, absolutely sod all on the sites, I had to log onto the members area where there was supposed to be a web chat but this wasn't on, maybe cos its the weekend and there were no phone numbers or email addresses!

So can anyone help me with some contact details for emule.org which is where I started from but it went to some other site called filesharingcenter.com. I phoned my bank and they said they couldn't stop the payment as I paid with a debit card, but if I sent them details they may be able to do something. I am not sure if this is the same company as some others on this thread under a different name. So if anyone has a number that would be great, I want to try and get my 30 quid back!

Can you check your browser history to get the exact site address. Is this the site? http://emule.org/ If yes then try the contact details.
BTW did you know LW beta 4.13 now has torrent support. Other than that, Azureus is best for mac. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azureus. If you need tips about the torrents then send me a message by clicking on my username.

I'll probably be offline by the time you reply but hopefully another member will be around. It's that time of year. And I've just done a long shift as an unpaid forum helper.

Yes that was the site, I have just reset my Safari actually as it has gone weird since all this happened earlier today, I can't get onto hotmail now through Safari so maybe something dodgy has downloaded! I did go onto the contact details and all it does is take you back to the sign up page to take out membership!!!

Good work you are doing as unpaid forum helper!! If I had the knowledge I would do it too! I don't really know anything about torrents!!

So still searching for contact details for emule.org also known as filesharingcenter.com. Maybe the live chat thing will work next week when the holidays are over.

Thanks again

filesharingcenter.com I believe is also mentioned on here (p.5 I think) Known Scam Sites (click on link)

That 'sign-in' scenario seems to be the same on all their links on that page. Check the contact one & see if you can actually send a message after entering your member name, etc. (except for any credit card bizo)

Since you know it's filesharingcenter.com then check their other links from this site & look for contact details there (look for them on the link above.) Sorry ... normally I'd research this myself for you.
