Today I googled emc styleworks download and came up with the following website WWW.FULLDOWNLOADS.US (DON'T GO THERE).

I filled out the required form and selected to download styleworks and paid the requested fee.

Within seconds I got an email confirming the transaction and a receipt. 30 minutes later I get a call from my credit card Fraud line.

Bottom line - there was no styleworks but a $97.00 a month subsciption to a PORN SITE!!

The companies whose names showed up for billing at the credit card company were given to me by the credit card fraud agent and are CBCTR.NET BCOUR.NET - ALL A FRONT FOR JETTIS INTERNATIONAL. I never did go out to any of these sites.

Bottom line - I cancelled the credit card and will be issued a new one.

Be careful out there!!

In all fairness what were you expecting.

What's worse is you posted this on the forum letting everyone know you tried to purchase the program illegally.

$5 for a program that costs hundreds dollars from the developers website.

Its your own fault. I don't like saying that but this is just so silly.

Irishacts,
First, I am not familiar with Styleworks or how much it does or does not cost. Second, my post is for folks awareness.


Don't be the usual "ASS" like many here and even assume to make any judgements about me.

Seriously, before doing business with ANY site, one needs to observe due diligence & conduct a search in order to make sure that said site is completely legit. Even without doing this, if you had really done your homework, you would have known the cost of EMC Styleworks and that any site offering it for substantially less was offering it illegally or was a complete and total rip-off! Regular, run-of-the-mill, common-sense stuff, I'm afraid...

Come on man, you can't be that stupid.
The website is full of porn advertisements and emc style works is even listed as cracked software on the site. And on top of that you honestly though the program would only cost $5.

Go back there and put “hammer is a complete idiot” into the search engine and it works the same. Or maybe they are selling a photo of your face after they stole your credit card.

I bet it's rosy red too after getting shafted by that porn site.

Seriously, I have no sympathy for you because it's so bloody obvious the website is a fake.

The best thing you can do with your time now is ask for the thread to be pulled before you make a complete idiot out of yourself. Chalk it down to experience and a lesson learned the hard way.
