This is perhaps the most brilliant scam I have ever seen. Whoever designed this must be an evil genius. It is so well designed that I almost let them keep my $41 and think of it as life lesson worth every penny. I am posting this here for the benefit of anyone who is about to purchase a "7-day trial" for $4.88 for what they believe will be unlimited access to pirated software. That's right- these scammers have optimized their search engines for those of you looking to pirate software, and make it seem they have EXACTLY what you are looking for. They utilize so many different websites, that it is almost impossible to pin them down. A few that I was able to identify were:

When you proceed to purchase and give them your payment information, they actually bill your credit card for $41.19. You have to look at the small print on the payment screen that actually does provide this data: ************************************************* The total charge on your account today will be of USD 41.19 To change your options Click here ************************************************** Now, if the case were such that indeed they DID give you the software/movie/music etc. you were looking for, it would not be so bad. What you DO get however is information about downloading a program that is already free and readily available to anyone not much different than Limewire or VUZE from 360share.com. Once you realize you've paid for a service much different than the one originally represented on their bait screens, you can then call them at any of the following numbers to get a refund, but they do keep the $4.88 unless you make a big stink about it:

Excuse me if I have misinterpreted your "report".....It appears, by your description, that you were attempting to
engage in software piracy which is an illegal activity. Odd that you would write an ROR stating that these are scam
sites (which they truly are) and indicate that you, too, are or were engaging in nefarious activity(ies).
If you are in the least bit familiar with how to obtain "warez" files then you should have immediately ascertained that
these were scam sites. Judging by your comments you appear to know how to get said files(z) without paying. So were is the ripoff? You ripping off the program/music/video publishers, the Business Software Alliance or The Software Publishers Association? Or these scam sites ripping you off?
Pot and kettle theorem seems to apply here :)
