    The transction took place on Dec 26 2022. My credit card was charged $700 - supposedly for 3 years' service. I couldn't reach certain sites, so Instafixus took control of my computer. The result was that my inability to get to these sites INCREASED! I protested the charge to my credit card company. Then I phoned Instafixus and asked for a refund. I was offered $100 and declined. Then I was offered $300 and declined that. I checked with BBB and found that I am hardly alone in considering Instafixus a scam operation.

    I ******************* contracted for the services of INSTAFIXUS for computer protection. On the date of 12/08/22 at 8:47 am. I got a call from a person calling himself ***; he left me a voicemail message. He told me he is with "INSTAFIXUS". *** went on to tell me "INSTAFIXUS" was going out of business. He went on to say they're going to refund me $699.00 dollars and to contact him at ###-###-####:he called me from phone number ###-###-####. I called *** at "INSTAFIXUS" he checked the information he and "INSTAFIXUS" had on me, he then realized I would only be due $299.99. When he corrected the amount I'd be owed I thought this was a legit. *** then went on to ask me about my type of computer and the bottom row of key's on my computer. He told me they would be sending me a check. On the date of 12/12/22 at 3:13pm. I received another voicemail call from *** at "INSTAFIXUS". On the date of 12/13/22 at 12:15 pm. I called *** at "INSTAFIXUS". *** told me he needed more information to make sure the money being sent to me would get into my bank. He asked me if I was close to my computer. I told him no. At that time I went to "INSTAFIXUS" homepage. I found they were still advertising for business. At that time I looked for The B.B.B. on my computer. On the date of 12/13/22 at 12:37 I called The B.B.B. I left a voicemail message. On the date of 12/14/22 at 1:12 pm and 2:04 pm I received a call from The B.B.B. the agent that helped me was patient and professional.

    computerd and your Co. contacted me to collect more money for them to help me. The person I dealt with was called ****************** probably not his name. He left me high and dry without a report on what he did nor a refund of $600.00. I want to speak with him about several things he left on my computer. You people need a serious shutdown.

    Back on February 13th, 2022, I was having trouble receiving emails and favorites on ********* **** when they switched over from ***. I looked into the internet for some assistance and found Intrafixus LLC. They did fix the problem and I decided to use their service for tech support for $699.99 for three years. Well this past week on November 16th, I get a call saying that this company was going out of business and they will refund me my $699.99. They connected me to tech support to refund me my money electronically. After I gave them control of my computer, I filled out a form. When I went to the spot to put in my amount of $699.99, it showed $20,000 instead. When I looked at my balance on my checking account it did include the extra $20,000. The person than said that it came out of their account by accident, and I would have to mail in the cash to them instead. I was then directed to go to my credit union and take out $9600 on one day, and to another branch the next day to take out $9400. I was then directed to go to a *** store and ship the money each day, directing me to go to two difference *** stores. I was told to put this money in a shoebox or something similar and wrap the money in foil paper. I was giving two difference addresses in California to ship this money. All along, I assumed that this was their money. I realized on the 2nd day that the $20,000 came from my savings account, and not from Instafixus. I was able to stop the delivery of my 2nd package in time and had it returned to me. The 1st package the previous day was already picked up and my money was gone. This was a complete scam by Instafixus.

    On 5/11/2022, I paid Instafixus the sum of $299.99 to install their Cyber Privacy Shield on my laptop.In November I was contacted by a representative of their company and informed that the system they had installed was flawed and that they wanted access to my Laptop to see if they could fix the problem. They stated that IF they could repair their system they would or they offered a refund.I told the gentleman that I preferred the refund, at this point the caller became very argumentative and when I insisted he hung up.I have sent an E-mail to their address but have had no reply.Refund or not I feel this is not a very good business practice, and think this should be registered, so others do not do business with this Company.My order ID # *****, transaction id **********

    Was duped into a service I didn’t need. I’m 80 years old and my mind don’t work like it used to. I realized after I made the purchase that it was a mistake. I reported the issue to my bank and they are looking into it as well. I want a refund. The service was for 24/7 tech support for my computer I’m never on. I just wanted to check my email and help my wife print from her laptop. Neither of which worked after I was duped. I have read others complaining of this company as well. Most are older folks like us who made a similar mistake. Our memories don’t work like they used to. Tried to call the company. No answer. So much for 24/7 support!
