Pirated again

[floppyworks]

Recently my freind and I, actually my freind, purchased a copy of Vbulletin and I payed him for it but we lost our licesence key. My friend emailed you guys requesting he get it back but he never got it. Why didn't he get it yet? Thanks.

You can use the lost password link to have your customer number and password sent to you:

Make sure your spam filters are not blocking emails from vbulletin.com.

Okay. I'll have to tell my freind about that because I don't know what email adress he used.

[Steve Machol]

Hmmm...there is no license in our system issued to that URL. I have reported this to the piracy team. If you have any questions please contact us at: http://www.vbulletin.com/go/sales

Thsi has gone far enough!! So far I've been lied to twice about vbulletin once for 10 dollars now for 30 dollars. I don't know what to do or how to get my money back. The link to the site that you removed on the other page, licence key help, was supposedly valid therfore I had to pay 30 dollars to become an admin. I'm very scared this time because the person who uns that forum also hosts my website so that might be pirated too. Ahh what do I do?

Sorry I have one more thing to add abnout this. On the bottom of the forum you said was nulled it says " Licsenced to: thehosttalk.nett" or sometihng like that. I know a nulled version does not have that. I'm no code expert but I'm assuming that cannot be edted. Am I right?

I believe it can, most pirated boards use version 3.5.0 which is the same version you have..

[floppyworks]

Yeah I know. What i'm wondering if he's using a pirated version from someone who gave me a pirated version who claimed it was real. That was when I did not know much about Vbulletin. But I do not think he would lie to me because I know this forum runs nicley and nulled ones do not work well.

You can't "buy" vBulletin from anyone else, you need to get it from vbulletin.com. Anyone who gives it to you is most likely a pirated version.

[floppyworks]

Yes but this person told me he purchased a copy of vbuletin but did not have enough money so he got a loan from his freind and then he said if I want to be admin I'd need to pay him 30 dollars so his freind would have his money back. But also this guy has another version of vbulletin he purchased that is 3.5.3 and used to run on fun-spaces.com but now it doesn't.

[Scott MacVicar]

Well I've added the site to the piracy list since it has no license. It will get contacted from our piracy team shortly.

[floppyworks]

I'm so mad now. How can I get my money back? He ran away with 30 dollars whichI really need for paying for domain names and stuff. And was Vbulletin ever licnenced to fun-spaces.com?

[Scott MacVicar]

No, please contact vBulletin Sales in future. This is not the place for discussing piracy issues.

How did you pay? If it was via Paypal make a dispute. If it was via Money Order see if you can place a fraud charge with the police.

[floppyworks]

Hi I think I just came acros another nulling team for Vbulletin. I think they are called ****-WTN. Is this right?

-floppyworks

P.S I suppose they are because half of the name was sensored.

[floppyworks]

It was Paypal. Man i'm so stupid because everyone I know said don't do it but I trusted him. What do you eman dispute?

[Floris]

You've started a few discussions about this, but yes. This is a known warez group. The license you purchase is 99% a pirate copy. You paid for piracy. Get your money back. You can buy a retail license here: http://www.vBulletin.com/order/
