Description
I’d like to begin by thanking the individual who had the courage to file the 4/14 complaint with the BBB. It helped my case with my credit card company. Buddy Tech did the exact same thing to me. On 4/8, one of the techs at Buddy Tech led me to believe my network and computer had been hacked. I was sold a 5-year McAfee support and protection plan. It was a scam. The plan I bought doesn’t exist. But the coup de grace was when they had the gall on 4/14/23 to fraudulently double bill me $999.00. It was a blatant money grab. Caveat emptor “Let the buyer beware” applies in spades to these 3rd party McAfee fraudsters.
