    I just got my eyes on themoviedownloads.com
    They ask you to register and pay to get access to their site. After that they promise you a whole lot of movies, soft, music for free downloads.
    I wanted to investigate them so i just found a cheat id and password and loged in.

    In site all they have is instruction on how to download through torrents...:D
    and guess what people are paying them like anything to learn this simple crap:rolleyes:
    their alexa rank is 2757:eek:

    There are way too many of these scam sites on the Internet. They basically suck people in who think they can get stuff for super cheap or free.

    Yeh if this site was the only one... In same topic, I found also few days ago a website/forum selling member accounts for $19.99 year for movie/games/tvseries rapidshare links.

    You can also find that links for free just googling :)

    We can never can tell why those people are doing such dumb things to other people. let's just put it on God's hands. Plus, If we have the chance and confidence to report it, me must.

    One other thing is.. Never do what they did. be a good example.

    thanks!

    I agree with this... I wouldn't call it a scam at all. If people are willing to pay money for illegal downloads, then they obviously don't know that they could get them through torrents. Now they know - they are still getting what they want.

    Well the sad part about it is that everyone knows that torrents site usually run illegal stuff through them, and once the people pay to get the info they probably still do it!...The last time I checked DL'ing a movie, mp3 or anything like that was illegal so having someone pay for torrents info should be too.

    That's what the internet became.. sad, isn't it? Can't blame the owners of that site tho.. people are lazy, stupid and as originally said DUMB, if they used their brain once in a while and also could use google to search they would made their life easier.

    A big part of the internet surfers is uneducated, this is a basic principle of internet marketing .
