Windows 10: WHY ARE THESE REPETITIVE SCAMMERS STILL AROUND FOR MANY YEARS WITHOUT BEING CAUGHT?...

I HAVE BEEN VICTIMIZED BY THE SAME ONES FOR SEVERAL YEARS. ONE OF THE SCAMMERS ACTUALLY ASKED IF I WOULD BE WILLING TO MARRY HIM SO HE COULD OBTAIN A GREEN CARD FROM IMMIGRATION! I BEGAN HEARING FROM THEM SEVERAL YEARS AGO. SINCE I AM HOME-BOUND WITH A SEVERE DISABILITY, I WAS ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE TO THEIR PROFICIENT TACTICS AT FIRST. THE RESULTS WERE COSTLY, AND THE PURCHASE OF 2 DIFFERENT COMPUTERS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEMS. ULTIMATELY, OPTIMUM CHANGED MY ROUTER, AND ALL WAS WELL FOR A WHILE.


LAST WEEK, I RECEIVED A POP-UP WITH THE MICROSOFT LOGO, AS BEFORE, AND INDICATED A THREAT TO MY DRIVERS. SIMULTANEOUSLY, I RECEIVED PHONE CALLS INDICATING THAT I WAS DUE A REFUND OF $299, SINCE THEY WERE NO LONGER OFFERING THEIR SERVICES. UPON CONTACTING THE PHONE NUMBER, I REALIZED WHAT IT WAS---THEY WERE BACK WITH ANOTHER SCHEME, I HUNG UP, AND WHAT FOLLOWED WERE AT LEAST 12+ CONSECUTIVE CALLS FROM VARIOUS STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. HOWEVER, THEY CLAIM TO BE IN INDIA.


DURING THEIR LAST CALL, I ANSWERED THE PHONE AND INDICATED THEY WERE BEING RECORDED; THAT I HAD CONTACTED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL. THE CALLS STOPPED, BUT I COULD NO LONGER ACCESS THE INTERNET. THE MICROSOFT EDGE TAB WITH SEVERAL SITES COULD NOT BE CLOSED.. AFTER A FULL SCAN, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY DRIVER DATABASE WAS CORRUPTED, AND UNABLE TO BE FIXED. THE SCAMMERS WERE, OF COURSE, SELLING A DRIVER FIX. I WAS UNABLE TO USE MY COPIER.


IN CLOSING, ALLOW ME TO ADD THAT AMERICANS ARE BEING VICTIMIZED BY INCREASING NEGLIGENCE; PROFIT MOTIVES WITHOUT CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY; A LOSS OF QUALITY CONTROL FROM IMPORTED MANUFACTURING; COMPANIES, SUCH AS DELL, WHO DO NOT ADHERE TO WARRANTIES; AD INFINITUM. SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES HAVE INCREASED PROGRESSIVELY, ENGENDERED BY UNENFORCED LAWS WHICH LACK GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION.


THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION BY PROBLEM AREA IS MERELY A PLATFORM FOR AIRING FRUSTRATIONS, BUT THE SCAMMERS REMAIN WITHOUT FEAR OF ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THEFT BY DECEIT, AND CONSUMERS' RIGHTS.


I HAVE KEPT NOTES, NAMES, PHONE NUMBERS, ETC. WHICH ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE MAIN RESOLUTION BEYOND A COMPUTER FIX.

What can you tell me about America Geeks? Are they a group of scammers?

No. Suggestion to read this recent article:

Scammers

May I offer you a suggestion: If you have any emails from the "scammer" gather them and make sure your credit card company knows about them. I was luckily able to recoup my payment. Good Luck.
