The Repair Centre @ Compunet 

 
The repair market has been growing rapidly in the past 2 years with more and more people seeking to repair computer hardware rather than replace, as a result of recent economic changes.

 

At Compunet we provide a very professional repair service where we cater for repair and maintenance contracts for business as well as a single user walk in service. We do not charge for diagnostics and will always advise the customer of the repair and cost details in advance, as well as advice on whether a component is worth repairing or not.

Scam Alert 

If someone calls you out of the blue offering to fix your computer, it's a SCAM.

Compunet are warning its Customers about unsolicited calls telling them their computers have a virus and offering to repair it remotely for a price. In recent weeks many people have been contacting our offices to check if the offer is genuine, it is not.

How the scam works: Usually, someone claiming to be from an Online PC Repair Company makes an unsolicited call to an Irish person. To make its offer seem more genuine, its website lists an Irish number which people can also call.

The caller is asked to launch the PC's Event Viewer application and asked whether it displayed warnings or error messages. Anyone with some computer knowledge would know these messages are standard but the caller will claim they proved the PC was infected.

Next comes the offer to clean up the virus for a subscription fee of €129 and the request for credit card details!! So, not only are you handing over control of your computer to total strangers who can copy any of your files from it, access your browsing history, get your stored passwords or banking and credit card details, you're also handing your credit card numbers to them directly for any kind of possible abuse.
