It seems one of the numerous "lettered" organisations has done something very useful and made a small list of scam sites to beware of
http://www.cdt.org/copyright/warninglist/CDT lists the Web addresses of a number of services that, on the surface, may resemble fully licensed music download or subscription services – but upon more careful inspection, appear to advertise or at least imply the availability of music to which they have not secured the rights. Thus, U.S.-based subscribers/customers of these Web sites download copyrighted music or other content at their own risk. (We have not investigated whether these sites have licensed or otherwise obtained rights to distribute mainstream music in other countries.)
Specifically, each Web site on this list:
Advertises, describes, or promotes itself in ways that either state or imply that its offerings include music from the major record labels;
Charges fees to users;
Creates a risk of consumer misunderstanding about the legal status of music downloads available through the site – either through statements or omissions in the way it characterizes its service or legal status, or by making important legal disclosures too obscure or hard to find to be useful;
Does not appear, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, to be authorized to distribute major label music in the United States – and as best we can tell does not disclose that fact prominently to potential users; and
Failed to provide a satisfactory response to a letter from CDT, mailed to the address associated with the Web site’s domain name registration, providing an opportunity to explain why the Web site should not be placed on this list.
And heres their list of sites to avoid, none of those listed are to my knowledge legitimate
