ACT-1 Computer After 43 YEARS of providing computer services in Kaufman,
ACT-1 COMPUTER HAS OFFICIALLY CLOSED!

05/02/2026

Sorry, I wish I could recommend someone else, but a lot of my customers come from my competitors with horror stories about the huge amounts they charged them ($400) for what I do for $89.00

I've gotten customers from Crandall, a lot from Terrell and quite a few from Gun Barrel City over the years and they have nothing good to say about any of the other computer places.

You've got to remember that I started in 1981. That was before IBM came out with the first desktop computers! I was able to do it all... software, hardware, networking, etc and do it at a fair price. Other computer stores just couldn't compete. That's what allowed me to remain in business for 43 years in a small town.
Thanks to you!

Here's what I would do...
#1: Do business with someone who's been in business for more than 5 years. They should have a storefront that you can visit and a good website. Don't trust your computer to someone working from their house. (Your family pictures and data could wind up being the Saturday night entertainment at their weekend get-togethers.) Ask your friends who they go to and what was their experience. You might want to ask on Facebook?

I know of at least one shady character, working from his house right here in Kaufman, that actually lost a customer's computer. He then gave the customer a different computer and tried to pass it off as the computer they originally brought in for service. (True story!)

#2: Read their online reviews (not reviews from their website) from Google and Yelp.

#3: GET A QUOTE IN WRITING! before leaving your computer in their care. Ask them to call you if there is any change in the quote BEFORE DOING THE WORK!

I wish you the best of luck!
Thanks again,
Dan

THE SCAMMERS ARE GETTING SMARTER...
Here is an email I received this morning. I did the usual checks and found that the sender address was actually from Microsoft, but I just didn't like the look of this email. Actually, Microsoft wouldn't be sending you an email about your PayPal account. They couldn't care less if McAfee charged you a bunch of money.

To verify, I got out of my email and logged into my paypal account and there was no record of this $599.99 charge.
I did further research and found that there IS a way to use a legit Microsoft address to send scam emails!

Don't interact with any suspicious email you receive!
You can hit "reply" and see where it's going to go. Usually, the real scam address will show up here. (Don't hit the send button, we just want to see the reply address.)
In this case, the address was a legitimate Microsoft address so it was confusing. You could safely delete or block this email.

It just goes to show you... "It's always something!"
Stay warm.

DANGER IN KAUFMAN!
I am posting this story about one of my customers so that others don't fall victim to a SCAM that is happening right now IN KAUFMAN!
My customer (single mother raising two daughters) came in last week and told me she had been scammed out of $9,000. Some man called her and said they had her daughter and would KILL her if she didn't send them money immediately. They had enough information about her daughter to convince her that they really did have her and that they were Cartel members.
They told her that if she hung up the phone, they would kill her daughter immediately. So, being scared and unable to check with her daughter, she stayed on the phone while withdrawing $9,000 in cash and going to Walmart to wire the money to Mexico. Afterwards, she was able to call her daughter who was safely at work as usual.
She notified the Kaufman Police Dept who replied that they were familiar with the situation and were working on it. I advised her to call the FBI as well.
Synopsis... This scam is being played out right now here in Kaufman. Someone who knew her daughter well had supplied the necessary information to pull this off!
The mother was referred to an individual at a local business (for legal reasons, I can't mention the name) to facilitate the money drop.
This is no joke. I spoke to the mother personally just last week. She's ex-military and nobody's fool.
Please warn everyone you care about that this is actually going on now in Kaufman. We don't want any more victims of this scam.
