  On 7/1/25 this company fraudulently captured my telephone call to ** regarding issues with a new printer I had purchased, I was informed that it worked for, and then was later told, ******. Incorrect information.I made the mistake of allowing **** *****, a "tech" with a strong Asian accent, to access my computer. **** ***** indicated the following would be done: "clean up and tune up the computer, remove viruses, install a firewall sql, install a valid anti virus with license key, reinstall all corrupted drivers, install an ip blocker".There were no viruses on my computer when I tried to contact ** about my printer. The information I was told my Mirosoft was fraudulent, meant to scare, and a scam to get people to pay for services not needed.I never received the anti virus license key.For this service I agreed to purchase a lifetime service agreement for $699.99.On 7/2/25 I again spoke with **** ***** and it was agreed to refund me $200.00 and reduce the service agreement to 5 years.I was only refunded $199.99 not the full $********* indicated above, the main reason for calling **, a call that this company captured, was an issue with the new HP printer I purchased. Although I was told the problem had been fixed, it was not fixed.When I contacted the real HP, I was told the printer was defective.I returned the printer and exchanged it for a new printer.I then found out that rather than installing the firewall and antivirus, only icons were installed along with a remote utilities host through which a virus was downloaded. There were no viruses on my computer when I initially tried to contact ** concerning my printer. I had the icons, virus and utilities host removed.I requested a full refund for the remaining $499.99, actually should be $500.00 for the failure to issue the full $200.00 refund previously agreed to.The services this company said it would provide were not provided.There are already several complaints against this company.

  Business Response

  Date: 10/16/2025

  We thank the Better Business Bureau for providing us with the opportunity to respond to the complaint filed by *****. At Mirosoft LLC, we take our commitment to customer satisfaction and the integrity of our business practices very seriously.
  We were disheartened to learn of ******* dissatisfaction with our services. We have thoroughly reviewed her case and the interactions we had with her.
  First, we would like to address a primary concern: the allegation of a "fraudulently captured" call. We are an authorized third-party reseller and support provider for **, a status we maintain in good standing. Our marketing and call channels are legitimate, and we do not "capture" calls deceptively. ***** reached out for support, and we provided it in good faith based on the information she provided at the time.
  Regarding the service provided on July 1, 2025, our technician, **** *****, performed a suite of services as agreed upon, which included a diagnostic review and optimization of her system. We stand by the work our technicians perform. We acknowledge that a misunderstanding arose concerning the nature of the printer issue, which was later determined by ** to be a hardware defect. We are glad she was able to resolve the printer matter directly with ***
  In the spirit of our commitment to customer care, we note that ***** contacted us outside of our clearly stated 30-day 100% refund guarantee period. Despite this, we willingly agreed to a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill to address her concerns. We processed a refund of $199.99, and we apologize for the clerical discrepancy of one cent, which was an oversight and not intentional.
  We have carefully reconsidered ******* request for a full refund of the remaining balance. After reviewing the services rendered and the goodwill refund already issued outside of our policy terms, we regret that we cannot process any further refunds. The services for which she was billed were performed.

  Our Final Offer to Resolve This Matter:
  While we cannot offer an additional monetary refund, we remain committed to ensuring her system is functioning correctly. We would like to extend an offer of one complimentary, extensive support session to address any remaining concerns she has about her computer's performance, including a review of the software installed and system optimization, at no charge to her.
  We believe this offer demonstrates our genuine desire to help and to ensure she is ultimately satisfied with the state of her system.
  We invite ***** to contact us directly at ******************************** to schedule this complimentary session. We hope she will accept this good-faith offer for additional support.

  Complaint: 23964874
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  The final offer by Mirosoft to resolve this matter is nothing more than what Mirosoft fraudulently induced me to purchase.   

  That is certainly not a goodwill gesture or offer.

  Stating Mirosoft "cannot offer an additional monetary refund" is saying Mirosoft will not do so.  The reason for its inability to give a monetary refund is inaccurate.

  I initially spoke with Mirosoft on July 1, 2025.  On July 2, 2025 I spoke twice with **** ***** of Mirosoft and requested a refund. That was well within the "clearly stated 30-day 100% refund guarantee period" as stated in the response of Mirosoft to my complaint.

  That is just another intentional misrepresentation by Mirosoft.

  When I asked for the "guaranteed" refund I was told by **** ***** that all Mirosoft could do was modify the length of the contract.

  A partial refund was issued on July 2, 2025.  It was posted to my credit card on that same date.  Again well within Mirosoft's 30 day refund policy.

  Mirosoft is giving false facts and information.

  The services Mirosoft said were performed were not done.  Several icons were put on my home screen and a remote utilities host installed.   None of this was done by **** *****.  I was handed off to another "tech" at Mirosoft.

  The icons were just icons leading to nothing.

  A virus was installed.  

  I was able to have the icons and virus removed.

  My experience with Mirosoft intentionally misrepresenting who they are is not the only time they have done so.  See complaint made  to the BBB on 5/1/2024 setting forth the same misrepresentation of who they were.

  They misrepresented that they were HP, not that they were an authorized third party reseller. 

  I have twice emailed Mirosoft directly asking for a refund and did not receive any response.

  Mirosoft is clearly making misrepresentations to the public.  That needs to be stopped.

  
  

  My request for a refund was made within Mirosoft's own 30 day refund policy yet it has refused to do so or follow its own policies..

  I am again asking the Mirosoft issue me a refund for $499.99. 

  
  
  Sincerely,

  Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your concerns about the service agreement purchased on 7/1/25, and your request for a full refund of the remaining balance. We take all client feedback seriously, and we want to clearly address the points you've raised.
  
  Our Relationship with HP and Call Capture
  
  We understand your concern regarding the initial phone contact. Please be aware that we are an independent, third-party technical support and service provider. We are affiliated with ** as an authorized reseller of their products and services, but we do not claim to be **. Our technicians are trained to clearly communicate our company's identity and status as a third-party service. Any misunderstanding of this relationship is regrettable, but we firmly assert that we did not engage in fraudulent misrepresentation to "capture" your call.
  
  Review of Services Provided and Resolution
  
  On 7/1/25, you voluntarily authorized our technician, **** *****, to access your computer and perform a comprehensive service, which included:
  System cleanup and tune-up.
  Diagnosis and removal of potential security threats.
  Installation of security features like a firewall and antivirus software.
  Driver and system file optimization.
  While we understand you later determined your printer issue was due to a hardware defect (which is a matter for **'s hardware warranty and not our software service), the primary service you purchased was for the comprehensive maintenance and optimization of your computer system, as outlined in your agreement.
  
  Contractual Agreement and Prior Refund
  
  We acknowledge the subsequent conversation on 7/2/25 where we agreed to amend the contract to a 5-year service agreement and issue a partial refund.
  Original Agreement: **************** for $699.99
  Amended Agreement: 5-************ for $499.99
  Refund Issued: $199.99
  The issuance of the $199.99 refund successfully reduced your service cost to the agreed-upon 5-year rate of $499.99, fulfilling the terms of the amendment. The difference of one cent ($/$0.01$) from your expectation of $/$200.00$ is negligible in the context of the overall service agreement, and we consider the prior agreed-upon resolution complete.
  
  Denial of Further Refund
  
  We stand by the professional services provided and the value offered in your 5-year service agreement. Your request for a full refund of the remaining $/$499.99$ is based on the claim that services were not provided and that we misled you. As demonstrated, we fulfilled the agreed-upon service contract, and we do not find sufficient grounds to process a complete refund simply because you now believe the service was unnecessary or because you resolved your separate hardware-related printer issue with ***
  We remain ready to support you fully under the terms of your current 5-year service agreement. If you believe any of the contracted services (such as firewall or antivirus installation) are not functioning correctly, please contact us immediately so we can remotely log in and verify or reinstall these components as part of your active warranty and service contract.
  Our commitment is to your satisfaction within the bounds of our signed agreement.
  Sincerely.

  April 30, 2024. $599.00 business committed to fixing any software problems I have for 2 years. All I wanted to do was install some security software. The dispute is scamming me for the money. The software company (Webroot) had a link, supposedly to the Geek Squad, which I used. I thought I was talking to the Geek Squad. and they insisted as much. They are actually ************ A "tech" named "***************************" (strong south Asia accent) (phone 800-209-3705/3701, ext. 103) spent about 90 minutes working on my computer, stating that in his initial analysis he detected network issues that he said were blocking my ability to install the software. I agreed to let him use logmein so he could access my system. I monitored the laptop display carefully to see if his activities made sense (they did not). Ironically, the original security software was ultimately installed as requested. However, in the process of "fixing" the network issues he detected, he changed security software systems that were originally installed by the real Geek Squad. He installed a firewall (www.sysinternals.com) and AdwCleaaner from Malwarebytes (whose software I had been using) that cost me $599 for a two-year service contract. He did provide links to their "help desk." Before "activation" of the new security software came the fee process. I had to electronically sign forms and wrote a check which he scanned using my printer /scanner. I saw no evidence that he activated the "new" software. Once the paperwork was done, he was quick to end the call. When he was done his "work," I saw no changes in the system performance, except that a number of applications had been removed. My concern is that during this "work" he could have easily added a "back door" for future security breaches. I am 74 years old and was scammed. I believe the real Geek Squad is aware of such organizations but is doing nothing to block them from such scams.

  Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and for bringing your concerns to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the confusion and frustration you experienced during your recent interaction with *********.

  
  We understand from your statement that you contacted us on April 30th, 2024, seeking assistance with installing security software. We want to clarify that ********* is a separate company from Geek Squad. We strive to be transparent in our communication, and it appears there may have been a misunderstanding regarding our company identity during the initial contact.

  
  We apologize if the representative, did not clearly identify himself and ********* at the beginning of the call. We take customer concerns seriously and will address this with our team to ensure clear communication in the future.

  
  Regarding the services provided, we can confirm that ***** addressed the network issues you mentioned, which could have been hindering the software installation. The firewall (www.sysinternals.com) is a free and legitimate tool used to improve network security, and AdwCleaner from Malwarebytes is a reputable anti-malware program. We offer a two-year service contract that includes ongoing support and maintenance, which is reflected in the $599 fee.

  
  We understand your apprehension about the remote access and software activation process. We assure you that ***** did not install any backdoors or engage in any malicious activity. We value customer privacy and security and have strict protocols in place to ensure safe remote access and software installation.
  We regret that you haven't noticed any improvement in system performance after the service. We would be happy to have a senior technician review your system remotely and address any further concerns you may have. This would be a complimentary service, and there is no obligation to continue with our service contract if you are not satisfied.
  Please feel free to contact us directly at [phone number] or reply to this email to schedule a complimentary review with a senior technician. We are committed to resolving your concerns and ensuring your satisfaction with our services.

  
  Sincerely,
  The ********* Team

  March 8, 2024 $999.00 business committed to fixing any software problems I have for 3 years.The dispute is scamming me for the money. They don't really fix software problems. I thought I was talking to the Geek Squad. that's who I called. they insisted they were the Geek Squad. One person spent hours moving things around on my computer, When he was done nothing had been fixed. When I questioned him, he (East Indian) suddenly talked in a much thicker accent the BECAME unintelligible. He had me write out a check, photograph it and email it to him, pressuring, pressuring me. I am 77 years old and I was scammed. This was elder abuse.

  Business claimed it would clean our computer router of any Trojans or other problems, and then guarantee the router for life to have no further problems. We paid $1099.99 for this on June 2, 2023 on October 30, 2023 the company called and claimed they had noticed some irregularities, with our computer performance. upon taking control of our computer, they stated that we had a Trojan present on our computer called CSRSS this was the same Trojan.They said they were cleaning out back in June for cleaning a second time they requested another payment for a higher level security at the cost of 800+ dollars. I refused this deal and the next day called *****************, who supposedly was the technician who cleaned our router. I was told he was busy and would call back. He did call back and announced himself as ***. However, he was the same person, **** that I had spoken with the day before.
