I am not sure if I have been scammed or not. I got a call from Orange E services saying they have been getting feedback from my computer and it was corrupted and going to crash. Josh Rice presented himself as a microsoft associated company. he told me my software warranty licence had expired and I would need to renew it. They got in my computer and showed me that it was 96% corrupted and said when it got to 99% it would crash and would unrecoverable. I bit and bought the "software license".. Since then they have called me multiple times and the last couple calls they have tried to sell me Windows Defender which they claim is another program that comes on the computer but expires after a number of years and MUST be renewed.Did I get ripped off? Are these people legitimate? How can you tell?
Thanks

- My mother also was contacted by these folks it went from 100 bucks to 200 dollars more and we will install windows 7. Windows defender was the program they were installing on my mothers computer and when it wouldnt install they suggested that we buy windows 7 for 200 dollars more I laughed at him and told him that I am not stupid when it comes to computers. He stuttered a little and kept trying to sell me windows 7. Mother said she received and email last week from orange e service stating about aggressive sales and marketing how some of the employees were calling people and pushing their service on them and not giving refunds because they already worked on the computers. This company should be shut down or some type of legal action should be taken if at all possible.

for a service that any computer store could take care of you were ripped off when you could have taken your computer to best buy and for me that is a last resort but it would have been cheaper then Orange e service

I am so glad to see that word is getting out on this scam company Orange e-Services,orangeeservices.com. I had buyer's remorse the day after this company called me 6/19/12. After several e-mails and phone calls, Orange e-Services sent me an e-mail confirming that they would issue a refund (within 3 to 5 working days!)of my $249 that had been charged to my credit card. But then no refund showed up on my credit card and Orange e-Services called again with convoluted methods of trying to get me to pay them MORE money so that they could then process the refund! I can't believe that I kept falling for their scam! I am hoping that my credit card company will give me a refund according to their policy, but nothing has happened yet. Orange e-Services last called me 9/15/12 and "Ralph" said we are losing our $249 AND our computer if we didn't cooperate with him! Scam, Fraud, AND Extortion! When I first tried to protect myself from possible damage to my computer, I called Microsoft to report my problem and they hadn't heard anything about Orange e-Services. I checked Google, snopes.com, and local police dept but couldn't find any complaint trail back in June. So, again, I am very happy to see the word out on them now. Microsoft suggested that I report my complaint to the Federal Trade Commission. I didn't do it originally, but I will be doing it now.
