These volunteers keep the board organized and moving. Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity) Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum. Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules. Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted. Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender. Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration. The Rules 1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures. 3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum. 4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks. 5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement. 6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem. 7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required. 8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning. 9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online. 10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents. 11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection. 12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban. 13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts. 14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. 15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues. Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis. Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community. |

All you have to do is: like you did: call your cc card or bank, depending what kind of card you have and cancel out that transaction. You will most likely have to fillout fraud papers etc. Just alert them that you've been scammed/conned online. If they are decent and dont give you any grief, they should be able to cancel that out without a problem and it should show on your next card statement. DO NOT PAY for it! If you pay for that transaction, you WILL not be able to get your money back. www. limewire.com is the only site to get Limewire from. The free google ads on top of this forum, is rather stupid because those are not limewire sites either. anyway, you might also have to change your cc number becuase the scammers will use it. if you see any other funny charges on your card cancel that number ASAP!!! keep after your cc billing. Because sometimes, they dont do what they say they're gonna do for you. Never be so willing to give out your credit card details online! Make sure that when you get your statement that transaction was cancelled from your bill. also, I wouldnt use any fake version you bought. Id get rid of it and get the real limewire basic, it's free. gnutella is a free, open P2P network, you dont have to pay for any P2P app to connect to download from other users. |

Thanks Lord of the Rings/Sphinx, guys thanks for perservering with your advice. I took it to heart and phoned-up my credit card company again. this time I insisted they do something about this fruadulent transaction so they're sending me forms to hopefully cancel the transaction and follow-up on these lowlifes. So, now wiser and perhaps not much poorer !! Thanks again. |

This has happened to me. I feel such a fool as I'm usually so careful about these things. Even when I mentioned it to my daughter and she told me I shouldn't have paid anything as Limewire's free it didn't register, it's only when I received my credit card statement and started surfing the internet for IP-MP3 SUPPORT that I realised I'd been had! Anyway, good news is that the credit card company have told me to deduct the amount from what I owe them and their fraud department will look into it. I've also got to go through the grief of starting up a new account and cancelling the existing card, but it's a small price to pay. |

Update - this company took more money out of my credit card account 6 months later. I didn't realise until I got a letter from the bank threatening me with legal action for unpaid debt. When I pointed out to the bank that the account which had been used had been closed (on their instruction) and that I had not authorised a second transaction with IP-MP3SUPPORT.NET they eventually refunded me the money. |

In a way, I use my bank card having my advantage on securing my account when I order or pay. They will refund money if there was an unlawful use or charge on my account and having a copy with the transaction with their phone numbers on it. It's been a year since I paid them so it's too late and all I can do now is to keep an eye on my account. |

MP3 Support Help |

Mp3Support.com is one of the sites operated by Mp3 Networks Ltd, a company operating from the island of St Kitts.. It seems to be connected with Euclid Networks Ltd. (see previous this forum). St Kitts’ companies can remain fairly anonymous, a layman can’t easily find out who is on the board like you can in America, Canada, Australia, Britain etc; plus they are exempt from all taxes as long as they conduct their business exclusively with persons who are not resident in the (St Kitts) Federation, plus other duty exemptions. Although companies have to keep a register of members the register is kept at the company premises so the chance of Joe Public looking at it is fairly slim. As recently as this year the OECD includes St Kitts on a blacklist of nineteen countries which are not doing enough to stop money laundering. Some of the on-line gambling sites now on the internet are operating from St Kitts - from Armory Building, Basseterre. If you want to see just how many different sites operate from that address do a search for Armory Building (ie Armory named in honour of a person, not Armoury as in weapons). It also brings up the telephone number 1-866-240-2481 previously mentioned on this forum - its on the ‘Mp3downloading.com’. site and that site is “Operated by MP3 Networks Ltd. Armory building 3909, St-Kitts, Basseterre/Malta. This is the same number as that used by site ‘mp3justfree.com Tech support’, the footer on that site reading “This site is owned and operated by Euclid Networks inc, Basseterre, St-Kitts.“ Another site using the same number is “mp3-freebie.com” and that site too is operated by Euclid Networks. So there must be a link between Euclid Networks Inc and Armory Building, Basseterre, though not necessarily with any other company operating from that address. Lots of stories on the web from people telling of their experiences with Mp3downloading.com . The company, MP3 Networks Ltd, also lists its addresses as 271 Tower Rd. Sliema, SLM, 15531 Malta 356134422 . It is possible that Euclid Networks is connected with some other company with Euclid in its name, such as Euclid Network Solutions Inc. or Euclid Networks Inc. The ‘dwnldsupport.com’ site has the identical billing page which is on site marketbill.com/contact except that the telephone number there is 866-488-0787. This second number is the same number as posted by member GeorgiaSellars 02-24-2006 on the Limewire Sticky “Download p2p Clients ONLY Thru Official Sites”. From independent sources the address of Euclid Networks Solutions Inc is or was 3180 De La Cruz Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95054, USA and an address for the company Euclid Networks Solutions Inc (note the ‘s’ on Network) is or was 2665 N First St. 300, San Jose, CA 95134, USA. The USA Telephone Directory as of June 2006 shows Euclid Inc is listed at 2665 North 1st Street Suite 300, San Jose, CA 95134 Tel (408) 790-2600 and Euclid (ie just plain Euclid on its own) is listed at 3211 Scott Boulevard, Santa Clara, CA 95054 Tel (408) 213-0391. Not known whether these companies are connected. |
