Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I called little man computers last week to have my laptop worked on, and updated for virus and spyware. John told me that it would cost between 50-150 to complete this at the rate of $50 per hour. John said that he had to format my computer and restore everything back to it to fix the poblem. He used his cd's and cd burner to back up all of the files. I told him that I had both, and he said "not to worry" about it he had them. Well after everything was done, he charged me $200.00(3 cd's) per cd that can be purchased at any store for around $1.00 he said that if I didn't pay him he would just break the CD's so that I wouldn't be able to get my files.

My files were very important to me and he made me pay him in cash before he would give me my cd's. This bothers me greatly, and I talked to my attorney he said that I was pretty much SOL if I wanted my files, because he could charge anything for those CD's that he wanted to! Watch out for this scammer!

I don't have a former employee by that name and haven't lost an employee to turn over. We are a young company and we are all friends.

the first report against my company was made 10 minutes after Linn responded to my complaint. You can see Linn has responded to the others under findacomputerguy.com admitting they are not fake. Linn also posted under mine claiming to be a former employee of mine even though I don't have a former employee by that name and haven't lost an employee to turn over. We are a young company and we are all friends. if you note a customer from Leesburg of mine responded. The next thing you know a post from someone in Leesburg pops up.

It is a post by a guy name Linn from findacomputer.com. I have never charged for CDs for one. I except check, an every other method of paypal. If I work on the laptop at our site it's a flat fee of $50 If I work on it on site it's $60. After pulling records of laptops we have fixed the name of Chris never came up. It's a fake post.

Hard to prove a negative

Neither side can prove anything here. However, there are methods to root out who and what might be the real story. John made a report about findacomputerguy.com on 5/5, on 5/6 a report about John and littleman computers shows up. Multiple reports against findacomputerguy.com, but they all seem to work the same direction, meaning they all sound the same, and they all are after John's original 5/5 report. BUT, this Linn person keeps replying back to all of them as if they are legit. Final analysis. Either FACG.com is bogus and John is in the right here, or both John and Linn are making everything up to get some kind of Tupper Lake thing going on here. Here's an interesting idea... Chris, if you're really from Leesburg, here's something you should know. From 1985-2001 one radio show in the area was ranked #1 men 18-54. What radio show, what stations and what daypart? This is something even a non-listener would know, and even if someone lived there after 2001, they'd know this show. In fact, there are probably many people from outside the DC area who know the answer to this. But probably not Houston, which is where Linn is supposed to be. I wish IP addresses were on each of these reports to make it easier to verify where they come from.

John, you have provided no evidence to refute the fraud claim made by Chris, so how do you know it is false? Having just read this I would not do business with you if that was your only response.

Linn from Findacomputerguy.com is posting these false reports. You can read all about Findacomputerguy.com here using the following link http://www.ripoffreport.com/results.asp?q1=ALL&q4=&q6=&q3=&q2=&q7=&searchtype=0&submit2=Search%21&q5=findacomputerguy.com&Search=Search As you can see they don't pay. As I have said all work done at our location is a flat fee of $50. Our on site rate is $60/hr. We do not mark up the price of anything used. As always we accept, cash, check, or even paypal. We offer 30 day billing. Any questions can be emailed to me at [email protected], or by calling 703-880-5520. Thank you for your time and avoid findacomputerguy.com.
