Craigslist Hall of Shame

While theses are funny as hell and a little sad if "customers" would actually use theses "techs." I doubt for one minute that anyone here has ever lost business to a pizza tech. Some people aren't willing to pay what a professional tech charges and those are the people that use pizza techs not mine and your customers.

I need some help with a reinstall if I could only get ahold of the guy who can run a format but his mom says he's grounded till Wednesday.
 

@ACG... interesting. Did you go to their website? Apparently, they're all over the place, but headquartered in California (sorta sounds like a remote support version of Gurus2Go) The devil is in the details. If I understand it correctly, the $27 is a one-shot remote support fix. They're really selling remote support contracts for $129/yr. If you want them to come onsite, it's another $75 per visit... on top of whatever else they sell you.
 
Here's the website that's linked from the Craigslist ad:

http://pc-repair.computer-repair-computer-service.com/computer-repair.htm (turn your sound down before you click)

It gets weirder. On their main page, they infer that they are actually "911 PC Fix", but

http://www.911pcfix.com/ goes to a separate page.

Several pages make reference to what seems to be their flagship product and cornerstone of their services, something they call CPULOCK. "Like UAC, but better!" according to their hype.

Google CPULOCK and it leads you to this page: http://www.cpulock.com/
 
Highly suspicious stuff there. Too much info, too scattered all around. reminds me of those get rich quick schemes.

Those guys are always posting the same crap. Today they posted several times in the same forum. I am going to report a spam/overpost, perhaps others should do the same with these guys.

I've been spam flagging their posts everyday for about two months now. I've finally had enough and have decided to just ignore it. I don't know what it is, but suddenly it's like every shop in my area has become a craigslist spammer. I post my couple of alternating posts when I'm allowed, and leave it at that. Hopefully the quality of my ad outweighs the quantity of theirs.
 
Hmmm ... If only I could do a site like that :( Depressing to think that I will never, ever be as good as he is at web design ...


:D
 
My co-worker just said "Oh my god! Websites didn't look that bad when HTML was invented!" :D

You should turn this Pizza tech in for software piracy, tax evasion, operating without a business license, and anything else that is obviously illegal by his post. That will shut that dip sh*t down for awhile.

Yes, but there will be another one along within a day or so to replace him......
