Telephone Marketing Scam “Virtual PC Doctors”

A Customer in Whitnash has Just made me aware of another scam using Microsoft’s name to gain credit card information, they call them selves “Virtual PC Doctors” and claim to call from microsoft and once they think they have your confidence they request access to your computer system, They then miss around for a bit doing nothing much really then proceed to show you the Event Viewer under Administrative Tools, now here is the fun bit they claim any problems in here means your computer is about to crash, in reality every Windows computer ever made will have at least once comment in here, they will then claim they can fix your non existent issue for a fee.

Keep control,Never hand over control of your computer or credit card to any one, Unless you initiated the call its most likely a hoax.

Access Point Installation at Kineton in Warwickshire

Good afternoon, We are now with a customer on the Southam Road Near Gaydon and Kineton in Warwickshire, We are here to test the viability of using Netgear wireless access points to extend the range of the customers wireless broadband from an office in the main house to an annex at the other side of the building, After surveying and testing several set ups it was found to be cost prohibitive at this time, The issue here is that the building is made from thick cotswold Stone and although we could get a signal though its would require a minimum of 3 wireless access points to keep the signal strength high enough to use, So may be worth another look when the prices come down but at the moment it is cheaper to install another line and pay for broadband for a few years.

Quote for a Broken Screen in Hampton Magna

Good Morning we are in Bellam Road at Hampton Magna, We are here to inspect a Packard Bell Easynote TJ65 Laptop that was returned to PC World for under warranty repair, Amazingly it had been returned to the customer with a letter claiming that a liquid had been spilt on the computer and was not covered by any warranty, I have to admit to being amazed at the diagnosis as it was pretty obvious to me that the liquid in question was the Liquid part of the Liquid Crystal Display, and from the clear point of impact had presumably occurred in transit or dropped up on opening. We have written a letter describing our findings, and have left it with the customer to help there claim for damaged in transit.

We have supplied the customer with a quote to fix the computer.
