Total Access Network a big scam. Don’t fall for it.
I got taken by total access thinking I was doing a survey for UPS. Help, how do I get out of it and stop it.
I had the same issue with that scam, so did you find out the solutions to the problem solved? thanks
Only an fool will actually believe they won an free iPhone. I knew it was a scam from the get go, I typed in some bogus information just so I can read the fine print, and the fine print specify 19.73 now and 14$ a week. Lmao, people needs to be more smarter and learn to read. Stop being so Gullible.
The email came up through Amazon and looked legitimate and I fell for it. The terms and conditions say that you can get a refund if you call within 30 days. I called and also followed up with an email to cancel well within the 30 days and was informed that I would receive a refund within 3-5 days. It's been almost 2 weeks and have not received anything. I ended up with a virus on my computer and had to spend hours for Geek Squad to try to remove. I still get pop-ups and random screen just open up. I still get pop-ups that say I won all of these different contests and Geek Squad can't seem to help beyond what they already did on my computer.
the notification did not come through Amazon, it just kind of looks like it. have someone show you how to spot fakes. the other way you can avoid these issues without any tech savvy or internet know how is simple, don't be greedy and pretty much nobody gives away $500 items for free. BTW Geek Squad is good at Tier 1 problems such as "try restarting it", "your device had no battery", "make sure you plug your computer in before trying to use it". Go to a small local computer store with good ratings to fix your malware/virus.
