Advanced Tech Support I was scammed Boca Raton Florida

 Two days ago I intended to contact a company I had registered with called PC Pro who provides periodic computer scans s requested. The problem with their service that I experienced was that they systematically removed content from my computer that I did not want removed including Trend Micro, another computer virus protction service I had with he Geek Squad division of Bet Buy which I paid for.

I went to the PC Pro site to call them and the 800 number they provided contacted me with Advanced Tech Support. Their representative, a man named Vinny said they were an authorized repair service of PC Pro. I told him of the problems I was having which are too numerous to mention here and he asked me to authorize his taking over of my computer which I did.

He immediately informed me that I had real serious problems and that they could corect them but it would require purchasing a system called PANDA for $499. When I refused to buy something that expensive he said he could get authorization to reduce the cost to $200 because I was a senior citizen and a veteren but I would still have to pay their tech $199 one time fee to fix my prblems and additinally it would cost $19.99 per month to use free future tech service.

He assured me that all my problems would be corrected and I would never again receive any pop-ups. All of this was false. I also found out that PANDA and PANDA CLOUD are free available downloads.

They told me that if their were any problems, I was entitled to a full 30 day unconditional refund.

In fairness, I have not yet requested a refund but I intend to do so tomorrow. Whether they gratiously honor the refund request or refuse the refund request, I will in either instance post a follow up to let you know the outcome.
