"TheMusicMembersArea" Limewire rip-off

[gradford]

Today I tried ordering a download of Limewire pro through a Limewire link I found on Google, and somehow was directed to a secure site I was led to believe was Limewire's. I wanted to get the high speed downloads and DVD software; and after paying a little over $50, found that I had just bought access to a site called TheMusicMembersArea.com. I logged in and was taken to Download.com for a copy of Limewire basic. I downloaded it, and was unable to upgrade to Pro; Limewire did not recongnize the email address when I was prompted to enter it. I received a confirmation email from the other site, and accessed it; there was no way to query the transaction, only free windows software available for download; no reply function of the email; no recourse at all except to try to have VISA refuse or reverse the charge to that vendor.

If anyone from Limewire is reading this, you should be aware that this other "company" is using your trusted name to steal from people.

I would not have bought this if I didn't think I was dealing with Limewire.
