They led me fill in a form, I payed then the price for a special en thus more espensive bill as a sort of golden membership with for them delevering service at all times. VISA STATES UNDOUBTADLY A BILL THEN AND THERE AT paretologic : filecure (for special services from filecure with myself as beneficiary from there services). They should scam my system amd suggest a repair of so many files so that I at least could open them or know the matching program so that the two could mean something. After my payment, they should give me a key to fill in in their form after witch they would act again. I had pc-crach and the &#233;mail wherein the key was written disapeared before I could take notice in seconds. On al my quetions to help me they followed a companyrule. You have to register with a valid key before WE CAN DO SOMTHING FOR YOU. But they know a can not become a key unless they give it to me. Conclusion : they voluntarely leen back in there stoel till I CAN DO THE IMPOSSEBeLHY. MEANWHILE THEY DO NOTHING ALTHOUGH THEY CASHED My MONEY. In Belgium this is clearly a case of fraud and such a company here never receives no way even a more than positif graduate for 'DOING GOOD COMMERCE' Judicial (even morally) this firm has to figure on a black list next to restitutaion and severe penalisation for lachfing with a consumers European right. See you. nation of great spotless leaders, bankers and industry.
