“A TOTAL scam!”

Andrea S.
6/26/10

A TOTAL scam! Like other reviewers, I only signed up for the trial membership for $1.95 and instead was charged $42. When I contacted customer service via email, I was sent a very STUPID response that said I "had signed up for the correct package". As an add-on, I disabled some of my anti-malware so I could download the supposed files (as it wasn't working otherwise) and ended up with a HORRIBLE virus/trojan on my home pc. Don't go near this site... a waste of time, money, energy! And. Dangerous to the security of your computer.

Fraudulant! I got sucked into the scam and Like many others got done for $40 for nothing in return, i've appealed on the complaints section for a refund, but i'm not really expecting anything, my key concern is that i entered my Bank details, didn't receive any form of confirmation email! Does this website require me to cancel the account? As i don't wanna end up having more money come out of my account? Has this happened to anyone else down the line? Many thanks

I dropped by looking for some files and they offered three days use of their site for. 99 a day. I tried downloading three files and all of them had viruses attached so I cancelled. They not only charged me. 99 x 3 days but another charge of $82.00. When I called to complain they said it would take up to 10 business days to refund. Totally bogus, dishonest site. A total scam.

You can try via your bank - they are stuck within guidelines tho - they can't dispute the fact that there was a different amount charged, in my case 81.05 vs 1.95, but they can claw back the money, if they havent prvided the service that you have paid for. My bank were aware of this 'retailer', but claim to be powerless to do anything - they did give me a number for consumer direct on *******506 - part of the office of fair trading in the UK...

Just a quick note: if you install WOT - www.mywot.com, which I've reviewed elsewhere, this is one of the sites which WOT won't let you visit unless you're REALLY sure, as it's a known scam. Get some protection, people, before you end up like others here who've been scammed by sites like this. And help build a database of scammers, the more we do to protect ourselves the safer everyone will be.

Stay well away. I signed up for 1.95 package and got scanked 42.00 usd. They seen us coming! To make matters even worse i only had 5 pounds in my account which was more than enough to cover their 1.95 fee, wrong... a 35.00 bank charge too. They have said they will give me a full refund within 3 business days and i have demanded the bank charge but they have said it is my fault they have scanked me as it was me who didnt have enough in my account. Mt message to all is STAY WELL AWAY PEOPLE.

This web site is a ripp-off. They're committing a fraulent act. If some you have visited this site please stay away. They operate in other country. Don't believe the sign up. It is a front to scam your money. The feed back there is no reply. If you notice the code for comfirmation is a fake. Be careful they're also in violations of a lot of copy right laws world wide. Don't believe them when they state that there is nothing that anyone can do about their site.

I must be lucky - Instead of having the files I wanted, I just got a bit-torrent file with no connection... and it only cost me $42.00 - instead of the promotional $1.95. Stay away! This is a RIP OFF! If you are lucky you will get nothing for your money. Less lucky, You'll get a virus for your money. Save your time, take your $40.00 to $80.00, throw it out the window... at least it will make somebody else's day great! **time goes by** they actually refunded my money, I'm shocked and pleased. But I still don't think you will get what you want...

The worst. A total scam. They have a PROMOTIONAL MEMBERSHIP OFFER listed at $1.95 and when you sign up, they then charge you 15 times that amount. To make matters worse - if it was possible - the access code they sent me was a complete dud. Avoid at all costs.

I have become a member to this website today. I chose 3 day membership for 0.65 dollars per day and somehow ended up being a 1-month user. They do not have any of the files that they claim to have! I cancelled my credit card to prevent them to charge me further at the end of the month. YOU SHOULD AVOID THIS WEBSITE!

I just found out they gave me a refund.
I don't know why.
They said 'I' should have been careful not to pay for other things
When some items were checked at the right end that looks like an ad of some sort.

This site is very funny, just go type any keyword which doesn't exist, they'll tell you all the different versions in their database. So yes, as others point out already, it's scam, not only that, all the other pirate search engine actually allow them to do that. So be aware.

I was thinking of using this site but read your reviews first. I did go back and typed in some strange names and items and put cd or dvd after them, and believe it or not, everyone of them came up as available. I'm definitely staying away from this. THANKS for the info and warnings.

First i asked for 1.98$ and when i looked into my bank statement, they charged me 46$. And the most worst thing is every file link for download on this site is forwarded to rapidshare which is a free downloading website. Anyone can help me to get my money back. Please..

To all you guys below... I think you guys should report it to the Cyber Crime authority... because this is a VERY BIG SCAM. They must have made millions already. If all of you one by one keep sending mails to the FBI Cyber Crime Dept, they'll surely work on it... some can even call them up... it's a shame that even after having successfully ripping off innocent people, the website is up and running. We consumers do nothing but end up writing reviews after being scammed. THIS WEBSITE NEEDS TO BE SCREWED.

The other comments were exactly right. Total SCAM. In my case instead the $1.80 or so fee I was charged $110! I have immediately disputed it. Will let you know if it works.

Well in a search for Music Packs to work with my Fruity Loops program I ran across this site and fell for the $1.98 first month package basically to see if the packs I were interested in sounded like. After putting my credit card info in I found that none of the files even worked on my computer and further more the site charged $110.00 to my account rather than $1.98. I am going to my bank first thing in the money to get the charge reversed and I only hope I am not stuck paying an unbelievable and unauthorized charge for something site obviously never have to begin with.

A scam site. I stupidly gave them my credit card details. I lost 106 dollars, after attempting to pay them 1.95! I got nothing from them, but received a registration to myfiles-express.com instead! That fairly clearly implicates myfiles-express.com, as they got the money.

I wish I had read the reviews before paying in that site. I got charged 41 for nothing. And even worse, i registered just to download a book. And what i got was a bit torrent link to nowhere! I called the toll free number and the person said i will be refunded in 3 days. Now have no other option but to wait and watch..

This site is a complete scam. Just a big rip off. Stay well clear. They certainly like to take your money. They do not acknowledge your messages. Once bitten twice shy.
