This was almost definitely scam. Limewire has been under a court order since October 2010 to stop distributing its software. You can see the complete message on their web site - http://www.limewire.com. If you got taken in a scam, you should contact your credit card company immediately to stop the payment. Here is a snippet from the Limewire web site:

LimeWire is under a court order dated October 26, 2010 to stop distributing the LimeWire software. A copy of the injunction can be found here. LimeWire LLC, its directors and officers, are taking all steps to comply with the injunction. We have very recently become aware of unauthorized applications on the internet purporting to use the LimeWire name. We demand that all persons using the LimeWire software, name, or trademark in order to upload or download copyrighted works in any manner cease and desist from doing so. We further remind you that the unauthorized uploading and downloading of copyrighted works is illegal."
