IT SEEMS DOWNLOADMUSICINC.COM SITE IS DOWN, BUT APPEARS TO BE OPERATING UNDER DOWNLOADMUSICETC.COM. WHEN DOING A GOOGLE SEARCH OF DOWNLOADMUSICINC.COM, THE WEBSITE DOWNLOADMUSICETC.COM POPS UP AND IS THE SIGN UP PAGE. THE DESCRIPTION OF THE LINK ON GOOGLE STATES IT IS DOWNLOADMUSICINC, AND USES ALL OF THE FAKE ADS OF AS SEEN ON CNN, CNET, MTV, ETC. THIS VERY STRONGLY SUGGESTS THAT DOWNLOADMUSICINC.COM IS NOW OPERATING UNDER DOWNLOADMUSICETC.COM. THIS IS THE SAME COMPANY AS DAZZLE WHITE, WHO HAS CHANGED IT'S NAME DOZENS OF TIMES IN THE PAST 9 MONTHS, AND CREATED ALMOST 100 WEBSITES FOR THE SAME PRODUCT AND HAS LISTED DOZENS OF NAMES UNDER THESE 100 SITES FOR THE SAME PRODUCT, FROM THE SAME COMPANY. DOWNLOADMUSICINC IS DOING THE SAME THING. THIS COMPANY AND ITS DOZENS OF OTHER BRANDS ARE ALL OPERATED UNDER THE UMBRELLA NAME 1021018 ALBERTA LTD. This company advertises through fake blogs and fake review sites.

while you're reading, you may be a little confused and think that I put up the wrong link, because you will be reading a lot about a tooth whitening product called DAZZLE WHITE. This is not a mistake, THIS IS THE SAME COMPANY THAT HAS CREATED DOWNLOADMUSICINC.COM! This company has, since its start, been creating different "companies" peddling just about anything they can think of, ALL being scams. I'm writing this because many people who want to pay for an mp3 download site would never think of linking this kind of business to a tooth whitener.
This company, under the umbrella name 1021018 Alberta Ltd, was created just to violate consumer protection laws, and has been successful in thieving millions of dollars from hardworking citizens during this economic crisis. It IS actually the economic crisis that has made this shady business a wild success.
DAZZLE WHITE was the first of the dozens of scams this company has created. On ALL of their websites, they illegaly use seals including:
Security Certified
Fraud Protection Guaranteed
Trust-e (www.truste.org)
McAfee Secure (www.mcafeesecure.com)
VeriSign Secure (www.verisign.com)
NOTE, THESE ARE ALL FALSELY REPRESENTED ON THEIR SITES. THEY HAVE NONE OF THESE CUSTOMER PROTECTION AGENCIES. The usual scam that this company employs is the free trial scam. This is used for DAZZLE WHITE, GOOGLE CASH KITS, GOVERNMENT GRANT KITS, WEIGHTLOSS TEA, ACAI PILLS, COLON CLEANSE, MUSCLE BUILDING PILLS, AND, NOW MP3 SITES. The company peddles a "free sample" to users, and then obtains customers' credit card numbers for "shipping only". The customers ARE NOT told that what the credit card info is really for is to sign the consumer up to a monthly subscription of the product, and is charged outrageous fees directly to their credit card. They do not warn you that they will charge every month, and also have created other scam memberships to add to the product subscription. They claim it is with other companies, but is really ALL the same company. Customers have reported repeatedly canceling, only to be continued to be charged and have products sent. Even when consumers call enough times to finally cause the company to stop shipping the product, THE COMPANY ACTUALLY STOPS SHIPPING OUT THE PRODUCT, BUT CONTINUES TO CHARGE THE OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNTS TO THEIR CARDS EVERY MONTH ANYHOW. THIS IS ILLEGAL. Also, they not only sign you up with bogus memberships THEY created, THERE IS DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE THAT THEY DO ALSO SELL YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER TO OTHER COMPANIES.
As far as Downloadmusicinc.com goes, since this is the same company that illegaly steals money and sells credit card numbers, they WILL do the same thing with your account. THE 60 DAY GUARANTEE THEY WEBSITE OFFERS IS FALSE. IN FACT, AFTER CONSUMERS HAVE ASKED FOR A REFUND FROM DOWNLOADMUSICINC.COM, THE COMPANY FALSELY TELLS CUSTOMERS THAT THE MONEY WILL BE REFUNDED IN 5 DAYS. THE REFUND IS NEVER GRANTED, AND, IF ANYTHING, THE CUSTOMER WILL CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED AFTER CANCELLATION AND ALSO CHARGED UNDER DIFFERENT BUSINESS NAMES FOR UNDISCLOSED "MEMBERSHIPS".
You CAN get your money back, but only after following these steps:
1-be SURE to cancel your membership with them. Do this, if possible, by webchat or phone call. ***If canceling by phone, it is imperative to record your phone conversation. If you dont have a voice recorder, then just use a digital camera if you have one that takes video clips with audio.***Put the company on speaker phone, and be sure to state the date. Also, ask for the customer service rep's ID number. They usually don't use their real names (would explain someone from India being named "Bill"), so just for records you can ask, but it is not required. Have them state the company name you are calling, so the bank can identify this person with the company. Actually, if you take a video, it may be better, because you can video dialing the number! Tell them that you are officially canceling your membership. Also, be SURE to ask if you may have been signed up with other "company memberships" by signing up with downloadmusicinc/etc. (knowing this company, you will soon be receiving tooth whitener, or acai or colon cleanse pills, and having your card you paid for downloadmusic with charged outrageous, unimaginable amounts for these unordered products. This is because 1021018 Alberta Ltd is famous for tooth whiteners and diet/colon cleanse pills. These are the most famous scams this company uses, so don't be surprised when a tiny tube of whitener shows up on your doorstep! Alert your bank immediately that 1021018 Alberta Ltd is making unauthorized charges for unordered tooth whitener because it is the same company as downloadmusicinc/etc). Even if they tell you that you are not signed up for anything else, I would also say, "Well, I'm officially requesting my card number to be deleted from your database, and no more monies deducted from my account for any membership period as a result of signing up with downloadmusicinc, which is 1021018 Alberta Ltd."
2-take this recording or webchat to your bank or credit card company. This is your proof of cancelation, which is needed to do a chargeback for future unauthorized withdrawals.
3- Watch your account like hawk!!! YOU WILL SEE CHARGES TO CONTINUE FROM THIS COMPANY. I WILL LIST UNDER THIS ENTRY ALL OF THE DIFERENT BUSINESS NAMES THIS COMPANY OPERATES UNDER, AND THESE ARE JUST THE KNOWN NAMES. THEY CREATE A NEW NAME EVERY DAY FOR THEIR SCAMS. BE SURE THAT ANY CHARGES TO YOUR ACCOUNT YOU DON'T RECOGNIZE IS ONE OF THIS COMPANY'S MANY DIFFERENT NAMES THEY OPERATE UNDER. THEY'VE DONE THIS SO THAT WHEN PEOPLE CANCEL, THEY ARE ABLE TO GO BACK INTO YOUR ACCOUNT UNDER A DIFFERENT NAME. BE SURE TO TELL YOUR BANK THAT THIS COMPANY OPERATES UNDER COUNTLESS NAMES. WARN THEM OF THIS. THE BEST THING TO DO IS CHANGE YOUR CARD NUMBER. THIS IS A PAIN, BUT YOU NEED TO DO IT, BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MANY NAMES, YOU COULD NEVER KEEP UP, AND THEY CREATE NEW ONES EVERY DAY!
4-After changing your card number, keep monitoring your account! There have been many instances where they have continued to steal from account that have changed numbers. To protect against this, give your bank a list of names that you HAVE authorized to do automatic deductions (if any), like to pay bills.
5-If thy continue to send you things after you cancel, or thinsg you didn't sign up for, then you may, under United States law, consider this a gift from the company! You are NOT required to send this product back, and you are NOT required to pay for it.
6- If any charges DO still get through, since your bank is aware of your cancellations, and aware that they operate under countless names, your bank can do a chargeback for any further stolen money. You will not only get your money back, but downloadmusicinc/etc, aka dazzlewhite, aka 1021018 Alberta Ltd will be charged with a hefty penalty for unauthorized charges
7-be SURE to report them to the ftc at ftc.gov and the bbb at bbb.org. also file a complaint with the attorney general of your state. THIS WILL HELP JESSIE WILLMS, OWNER OF THESE SCAMS FINALLY BE SHUT DOWN, SUED, AND HOPEFULLY ARRESTED.
***Here are the companies additional names. THESE ARE ONLY THE KNOWN ALIASES, BUT THERE ARE COUNTLESS MORE. REPORT ALL UNRECOGNIZABLE ACTIVITY ON YOUR ACCOUNT AS FRAUD*******
