As the executive assistant at The Computer Company, located in Cromwell, CT, I am writing on behalf of my fellow colleagues to refute the comments made regarding our company. We are a full-service IT firm, providing IT solutions for companies and organizations through our certified network engineers, SAS 70 compliant data center specialists, and highly skilled web development and online marketing team. We are more than happy to welcome any interested parties to our office, and are willing to give visitors a tour of our beautiful office.

As for this posting we would first to state that it is a scam, we would like to clarify that we have never employed individuals by the names of Ashely Aspen, Ekunke Martins, or Melisa Curtis. All interviews are conducted on location, face-to-face, and with a department manager. We believe this report stemmed from a Washington D.C. Craigs List Ad, posting ID #1554518622. This posting is a scam, and we have contact the FTC to inform them of the posting reference# 25219301 and the individuals trying to pose as our hiring manager. Aside from the company name and address, the information that Ashely Aspen reported about The Computer Company is entirely false. For those interested, our URL is www.computercompany.net and there you can find proper means of contacting The Computer Company employees.

The Computer Company, Inc. has been in business for more than 15 years, and has always maintained a stellar reputation. We welcome anyone to go to our website and look around, or come in to our office and see what we have to offer. Please feel free to give us a call.

One last note, I would like to advise anyone to never give out your personal information online and for more information on cybercrime, go to www.IC3.gov
