After converting to Windows 10, messages kept popping up from Solid Tech that my computer was in danger.  I was under the mistaken idea that Solid Tech was a part of Microsoft.

After clicking on the messages, I called the number given and ended up paying $224. to have my computer cleaned up.  This clean up would include a year's worth of virus protection and technical help.   I talked to these people about three times and finally decided they were doing more harm than good.  At one point I asked for a refund but they refused.

I realize now that this was a scam and I was foolish to bite.  But they get you when you are vulnerable and afraid a virus may make your information available.  At one point the fellow said they were in Canada but I'm wondering if that is true.

Solid Tech is not a scam

 I contacted Solid Tech as my computer was running slow. I paid $179.00 for 30 days of support. It took them about 16 hours to fix the problems that I thought no one could. I could not get any updates, my CPU was using close to 50 % of its "performance " instead of 1 - 10%. I called them back several.times to fix user issues after I converted to Windows 10. There are 2 issues I have and I will be contacting Ted at Customer support. 1) when they fix the issues I would like to get a notification as to what the problem is. 2) maNY of the people you speak to who are nice sometimes don't answer the basic questions (language barrier) I was never told they work for Microsoft. I have been told they are Microsoft certified technicians. They even fives a problem that came up that was insufficient xxxx can't remember and they fixed that too. I have a tech that works on my computer for 125 an hour and these guys are really good

UPDATE ON MY EXPERIENCE WITH SOLID TECH

After looking on this site, I was going to file a dispute with my bank but didn't have to as I had used Paypal and they fought the battle for me.  Paypal is giving me full credit.  This type of fraud just makes me mad and I'm so thankful for a site like this which gives suggestions for recourse.  Keep up the good work.
