Description
Hacked computer claimed it was shut down by virus. Called phone on message and they wanted immediate payment via direct access to checking account. We refused to do that and mailed a check certified mail. We couldn't find Velli. The address is a UPS store. USA Repair Service is in Park Ciy, UT. We concluded this is a scam and closed bank account and stopped payment. Had our IT guy in Layton clean up the desktop. Velli called today and was abusive. They demand payment of $1000 claiming this was a dedicated contract and cannot be resold. There was no contract signed or implied. We do not want to pay $1000 just to shut them up. Which probably will not shut them up anyway.
