bittorrent scam

[marvo]

I was directed to bittorent site for a download, a few times in fact,,on the third time I decided to download bittorent,,,and they asked for a sms to be sent , to get back a code,, I unwittingly sent a text,,and they duly took ?9 of my phone,,I thought it was a free downloader,,Ive had it on a few times but found it shit,,and that was free,, when I went back to see how they did it,,,they have the message in very shady writing,,very shady act to be doing,,,check it out and see if you notice the shady writing. Click on this page and go to next page to down load. Any Ideas to reclaim my ?9?

give them a bell? phone number is +493022335574
whois gave me this info mate. they're in berlin. although tbh, i dont hold out much hope for you.
dont give up on torrents though as they are one of the best ways to d/load. try utorrent from ?Torrent - The Lightweight and Efficient BitTorrent Client
its small, fast and free. the official bittorrent site is bittorent.com.

Thanks shady, I may just lick my wounds and take it as a lesson learned,,first time ever ive gave my phone number or sent a text for codes etc,,I thought they were one of the decent companies just after details for adverts,,like when others ask for email addy,,I thought they were using lemon ink,,,

go onto the site,I posted then download the installer,,it takes you back to their site asking for a code

[enigmax]

thanks! Can you confirm which number you had to txt please and the response you received back?

I really don't want their malware on my PC, so i'm investigating this via people like yourself who have been scammed.

cheers

I ran this in a VM to check it out.

Heres a link to picture of install process asking you to send SMS for "code"

Linky

Note it does say ?3 cost per SMS 3 SMS total on it. Greyed out tho. So some ppl might think it don't apply.
