Hammer, I've removed your thread on KORG Forums so you can put this behind you. I strongly recommend you ask for the same to happen here.

This does not help you or anyone on this forum. People don't need to be warned of what happened to you.

You need to put this behind you and move on.

Hammer.., I'm not going to be as harsh as James with my words.., but I do have to agree with him. This whole thing had "RED FLAGS" all over it.., but you missed every single one of them!

You have to be an educated consumer too. Seriously..., getting StyleWorks for $5.00 should have hit you right in the face as a scam.

All due respect.., but you got taken because you weren't as attentive as you should have been with this. I agree.., request that this post come down because it looks a little bad on your end. That website alone that you provided should have also been a red flag to you.

You have to be more responsible and do your research first. You got taken because you failed to do that. Honestly.., did you really think you were getting the REAL LEGIT program for $5.00 ??????

Actually, I think that's enough 'piling on'. It's not like the rest of us are on such moral high ground that we haven't tried to get something for nothing. Also, I don't think the rest of this forum are ex-pats from Mensa, either.

Hammer,

We all make mistakes - something that appears to be too good to be true usually is, you have taken some stick know, you have left the site on your thread for all to click and someone will, it’s just too tempting to have a look at, do like James said, get the thread removed ASAP.
Regards

Hey folks - all this post was supposed to be about is a fair warning to anyone about the website below.
WWW.FULLDOWNLOADS.US

If you go there you will not see anything that suggests what it turns out to be. The other two websites mentioned in my post were provided to me by the credit card fraud agent because they were the sites billing me -not the site above.

As for pulling the post - that is up to Nigel. Whatever he decides is best for the forum is fine with me.

Hey, hammer.... I've got some Rolex watches for sale. Only $50

Interested?

Of course you are not. You probably figured out they are fake or stolen. And, no offense, but you figured this out for the above site. But you went ahead and did it anyway. Give thieves and scam artists your credit card #, what did you THINK would happen?

I do a search on Google : Underground Access

I found that in 2 clics ...

UnderGround Access Is A Scam and also Extremely Degrading:

The sponsors of these kinds of scam websites are hard to uncover, because they use porn websites that are for some ungodly reason protected by laws which allow them to legally operate thier businesses. The goal of these sponsors is to generate a small one time fee for the porn site as well as for themselves, and if you agree to thier terms, that enters you into a willfull agreement between them and you.

1st of all exposing yourself to porn itself is degrading in itself and takes away from your integrity in many ways, which are mostly spiritual. 2nd you support an industry that you may be against, but willing to suck-up to since it's only less than $5.00 and as it is advertised "then you are done with it", but in reality you have actually contributed and in addition to your contribution, you have become the receipient of a SCAM!

THINK ABOUT IT!

Dean - you have my empathy for making an HONEST, naive mistake because that's what you say it was. I believe you. We have all made mistakes and sometimes not done our homework as diligently as maybe we should have. EMC Stylework for cheap? I couldn't begin to quess what it's worth because I've never taken enough interest. Would I order from such a site as the one you mentioned, gee I hope not, but it happened to you.

For all of you SZers out there who have come out with your insults and admonishments, you should be ashamed of yourselves. Your behavior was rude, not helpful at all and just plain nasty. Here's a fellow member who tries to relate a warning to us and you come out of your glass house and start throwing stones. This could have been done in such a friendlier, more helpful manner. All I can say is I'm embarrassed to be a SZer today.

Cass, very well said, I agree, especially "your glass house" comments. I don't believe anyone here including myself is a candidate for Sainthood. Hammer was only trying to be helpful.

Sorry, cassp, but if a guy comes up to you on the street and offers you something at pennies on the dollar, do you for one minute think he is honest?

NOBODY goes to sites like this expecting to get:



and thinks that the site is an honest one.

And nobody gets mad at a forum where a member comes on and says 'I tried to steal some software and got ripped off!' and gets the scorn they deserve. At least, nobody that isn't into stealing software themselves..

Personally, I am ashamed that anyone DOES sympathize with him. If I broke a leg trying to break into your house, would you be as sympathetic. cassp?
