I was working on my computer and then a window popped up. It stated I had a virus and to purchase the SECURE PRO ANTIVirus 2009 immediately, otherwise as seconds ticked away, spyware and theft would take over my personal information. I was unable to clear my screen, delete anything, nothing... I was at their mercy. Even though I did have my doubts, I purchased the $49.95 deal since the page showed the security lock assuring to me that it was safe. I really thought that I was being informed of a virus threat and I was really being protected. I purchased it since I wanted to be able to get out of that screen and then contact my computer guy for confirmation. When I printed out my "receipt", it really looked authentic.
This was on 11/12/08. Yesterday, I was able to get online and check my bank statement. It shows a deduction of $50.35 with the address COMpay.com. I did not authorize THIS amount and lthen I tried to contact this company for a full refund which they guarantee.
Still, I have not received any type of answer nor the refund of $50.35. I do not plan on letting this go.
I contacted my bank and they are aware of this issue.
