Question
I recently signed up with a download music site...Snappy-Music.com. It had me download Lime Wire Pro 4.16.2 I try to connect now and the download system will not come on line. I went to the Snappy site and called their "24 hour" 1-888-807-8277 and the phone is not in service. Then I attempt to log onto their 24 hour live chat that is there for answering questions and it is down as well. My I have bought into a scam or what.

Answer
HI Paul,

Limewire Pro is a peer to peer program you do not have to be a member of Snappy whatever to use. Its available to anyone. It also is used 99.9% for the illegal trading of music, movies, software and porn.

I looked at the site and I think you may have been ripped off. I would report them to the internet fraud complaint center:
