avangate bv techliveconnect.com Fraudulent technical sales scam leading to two contaminated computers See report 1013684 Feb 2013 internet sites somewhere ???? internet
I fell for the same scam as your report number 1013684 Avangate, "TOP 10 REVUES,...."
Exact same story- same Dutchman- same high level technician- same weather, with this time Australia cricket throw in- same take over of my computer- same dos screen going through the files- same indian superviser etc , except I did not catch on to the scam, till the next morning when I found your ripoff report and after they got into my second computer! So now I have 2 doggy computers. I was also conned into paying an extra $200 for an extra year, which I later disputed and was promised a refund, which probably I will never see!
I got into this mess because I payed for a driver support package for $29.95 and had to phone 1800 736 482 form where it started with the computer being full of errors.
The outfit in Technicaconnect.com must be verry confident as they phoned me later to see whether I was satisfied with my computers. When I mentioned that I was worried that I had done a stupid thing, to let someone get into my computer; they gave a spiel that they only worked on fixing the faults and that they had done a lot of work and got my printer to work etc.
When I mentioned the bad reports (I had not at that point found your 1013684 report which is so exactly my case), I was told that even microsoft gets bad reports and not to worry! I was then asked to agree that the computers were now preforming better I told them that I had had not the time to check it out and they then agreed to phone the next day so I they can sign off the job. I will be surprised if get a call. Still the longer I dont fix things the more they can steal from me. I paid by paypall but one report says paypall wont go against Avangate. Fortunately I dont store passwords on my computer but one never knows if they can get if from passed transactions! So now I am really worried.
