Hey all,
I know this may be a quite unusual topic to find on a site about making money online, but it’s something that I came across the other day and it’s something that really pissed me off!
Well, if your like one of the millions of people out there that like to watch movies online from home on your computer (or TV shows or download music for that matter), then you have probably come across this website – www.themoviedownloads.com
Looks pretty legitimate doesn't it? Well its not!
Initially when you see this website, you’re convinced that it holds all of the solutions to your movie watching problems. You’re convinced that you will be able to download new release movies instantly and enjoy them at home. You see that there is a $35 membership and decide that this would be well worth the benefits so you move and purchase the membership.
As you have probably guessed by now, I myself have fallen victim to this scam. Shame on me for not doing my homework.
Anyway, what do you get for your $35 lifetime membership? You get redirected to a page telling you to download Ares and Bit Comet.
If you know what Ares and Bit Comet are you are probably laughing by this point, but for the rest of you let me explain.
Ares is a Peer to Peer (P2P) program. You are not going to downloading anything from the movie downloads website, you are in fact going to be “sharing” files with other users of Ares. There are several P2P programs out there and all of them are FREE.
Limewire is another example.
Bit Comet is also FREE. It is one the several programs available to support torrent downloads. Torrents are a little bit more difficult to use, so it’s better off that you stick to P2P programs.
Don’t get ripped off like me, download Ares or Limewire for yourself. Why pay a middleman for doing NOTHING but directing you to these FREE programs.

Alternatives
Don’t want to download movies and TV shows onto your computer? No Problem. There are hundreds of websites that allow you to watch movie and TV shows online for FREE – No membership or registration required.
Here’s a list of the most popular ones.

Thanks for the scam alert - I almost got sucked in too. The question is, how is this legal? I'm thinking it's being brought to you by the same scumbags who are bringing down Wall Street.
ustlerhu92206696Dude everyone should know about these scams. i got sucked into a middle man provider of FREE bit torent programs to. This one was called incredible ipod download data base. Not only do you pay to get redirected to a bit torrent client that's free anyway, the p2p connection SOAKS your broadband band width & then your internet provider slaps you with a penalty.
Everyone should know about these scams. I to got sucked in by a middle man site that just redirects you to a free bit torrent download after you pay. This one is called incredible ipod downloads database. Then to top it off p2p connections SOAK your broadband bandwidth so you get slapped with a penalty from your internet provider.
I, too, fell victim to this website - having been directed to it by some blog writers who appear to be agents for the website. I couldn't get it to work. The step-by-step instructions did not correspond to what was on the screen. Even worse, I got an AOL alert that the uTorrent site contained a Trojan. I told the website twice that I was uninstalling uTorrent and asked for a refund - simply to get more instructions instead. One blog I saw said they would give refunds if not satisfied - am still waiting for a message to that effect.
the problem is I would never dream of buying such a thing!!! I was buying something else in internet shop & I was sure I was paying something else, instead it turned out I paid membersareamov.com. have no idea how it did happen (56$!!!) or I was so distracted (which I am rather not) or they have a kind of virus that has redirected my payment???!!! is it possible at all???!!! The same morning I received a mail with a code from them and I visited their site but not in the moment I was buying what I wanted to buy, I have Kacpersky which I want to believe does protect me... someone help!!! was I so distracted or they are so smart, of course now I will pay triple attention paying anything in internet , even after checking my computer truthfully
