Complaint Review: OMNITECH

They are known as one....Omnitechsupport.com, outlooksetting.com and techsupportserve.com

Something tells me that they have a slew of other sites that connects with one as they are all the same people...the three that I am aware of is Julian, Jo and Danny.  STAY AWAY 

These folks are not here to fix your problem.  After reading other posts, I am shocked that there were those with very similar problem if not the exact same.  My problem was simply trying to access or upload my emails in outlook.  You connect with a tech, they make it look like they are working on the issue, then they say they need to do a health scan check when they download "their" health program to show you a bunch of bogus errors that is supposedly on your computer.  How do I know its bogus?  Simple, I opened up scan program that I purchased and there was not ONE SINGLE error  or red flags on my computer and all the updates were up to date.  Go Figure.

Then after they show you all the bogus errors, they ask if you want them to proceed with fixing the errors and then slap you with a price you have to pay for their service.  After I told them that I can have the errors taken care of locally and that I just simply want to resolve my outlook mail issue.  The response was, if you take it somewhere, they will mess up your computer, yada yada yada.  At that point, I still insisted to skip this step and just focus on the outlook issue.  Surely this was not a necessary step.

Guess what happens next, he disconnect the chat becuase he simply did not want to talk anymore if I was not going to pay for the service.  Unbelievable.  They take you through all those changes.  I then contacted the chat support again and talked to the same person who connected me to this sorry of an excuse technician to complain that there was nothing mentioned of health scan and paying for errors to be fix when that was never an issue.  Only thing she could say was she apologize for the inconvience and asked was i ready to pay now.

Now, I managed to go back to see if I was to connect with someone else and see how it went based on a different "made up" issue.  To my disbelief, this person did not say anything about a cost until I ask.  The first thing they wanted to do was connect to your computer.  When I ask about cost, they could not give me a price and said that it would depend on the complixity of the issue.  See for yourself....

(I disconnected the chat)

It is clear that the ultimate goal is for them to access your computer.  Not at any point earlier in the conversation do they discuss with you the basic cost, give you details or anything.  They will dupe you to access your computer, claim they need to do a health check, show you crazy amount of bogus errors from their program and then say you got to pay regardless of the original problem you first spoke of which are 99% of the time minor and simple.

Garbage!  I do not recommend anyone doing any business with this company.
