Files-NetExpress.com (aka Files Express) is a scam! They state they have a "Private Download Directory, " from where you can download the program/file you're looking for. Of course, they always say they have the exact file you're looking for. Well, both statements are false! They don't!
After you join for $26.88 you have to download and install a P2P (Peer to Peer program) and that's all it is; and it's not even a good P2P program. They lead you to believe that their service is like RapidShare (a legitimate website that stores files online for downloading, legal and other).
They state you can download very fast but in reality it's, very slow, and of course the file that you're looking for, the one they list on the sign up page they say they have, they really don't have. It's nothing but a scam... Stay away from it. "Files Express" even connects you to a different login page from the Files-NetExpress.com site. The Files-NetExpress.com site is only used to make it look like they have an online storage site like RapidShare. Which they don't have.
To recap:
They say they have a "Private Download Directory" They don't. It's a crappy P2P, not even a good one.
They lead you to believe that their service is similar to RapidShare, it's not!
They say they have the program you want. And even list it stating that it's in their directory right now... It's not!
They'll try to slip in extra charges during your sign up on the website
Luckily, my bank issues an online virtual credit card good for only one transaction (which evaporates after use), for the amount I make it out to be. So, I created a virtual credit card for the amount on $27 so the scam site couldn't keep charging me.
"very helpful (below) but not an ad"
How do I help protect myself from websites and credit card purchases from charging me over and over again? See next paragraph.
I use Bank of America. You have to go into a branch and sign up for "Shop Safe" a free virtual credit card service that you use online. Also, don't forget to get the "SafePass" free service also, which makes it so that to access your online banking site you're required to enter an additional code besides your password to log onto your account. Safepass will either send you a credit card looking device that uses a mathematical algorithm to create a different number each time you log on to your online account or they can text you the pass code to you personal cell phone. Works great!
Hope this helps protect some of you from this scam and others similar.
