ACT-1 COMPUTER HAS OFFICIALLY CLOSED!

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.
