Whilst trying to fix my computer in March, I read a technical help article by a supposed Microsoft VP which claimed that a program called SpeedyFixer would fix my problems.
I paid $90.63 for a lifetime license by PayPal through Click Bank and downloaded and installed the program. After running it, I could no longer access the Control Panel in Windows 10.
After I had finally completed reinstalling all software, I contacted SpeedyFixer and told them their software had not fixed my problem but had in fact damaged my computer, and I requested the refunded as per their stated policy.
A Noah Chen replied, claiming that they would provide a refund but wanted me to try some other things first. I told him I was not interested in trying it further and required a refund. He then tried to offer me additional programs for free, but after over 60 days, no refund has been forthcoming.
I tried to get CBA Card Services to reverse the payment but after 45 days they claimed there was nothing they could do and said to contact the seller or my local consumer affairs.
A Google search for SpeedyFixer reviews results in a number of sites with numerous negative reviews with many posters claiming it is a scam. It appears that no one has managed to ger a refund, and persons who signed for the trial version and tried to cancel still being charged for the full version.
One website states that SpeedyFixers website is hosted in the US but their real location is hidden, whilst McAfee Secure lists an address in Beijing.
You have been warned. Avoid SpeedyFixer and Blue Century Software like the plague.
