GuruAid.com

A rather large technical support scam operation.

Just to say….have been trying to contact them for days….Every time I get the same reply…."the lines are busy…please call again.." The problem is when you do call again, you get the same reply….Also when you do get through, they always want to update my iPad and smartphone – for a price – and then tell me 'what a special deal I am getting..' and when I say NO – they are not really interested in helping me with my problem…will not renew my contract with them

very good support from the team, very well mannered and very curtious people i have worked with for the last two years.

I had a problem today with my E-Mail – wasnt working properly – the GuruAid Technician (Aadesh Takalkar) – spent 3 hours with me – working to fix the problem. He was VERY professional – VERY friendly – and VERY Good – he subsequently fixed my e-mail problem. Not only did he fix the e-mail problem, but, he also went out of his way to check on other virus related issues and resolved them. Outstanding service by an Outstanding company. I highy recommend GuruAid to everyone!

I needed some help with a download,and they remotely "tried" to help me while they downloaded a malware app. The "technician" was very unprofessional,insulting me,and when I said that will not pay for his "help",he start calling me names!

This company, GuruAid, signed my elderly mother up for FOUR accounts which they bill her monthly for. They claim to sub contract as AVG. TOTAL SCAM. Said she had to pay $100 to cancel acct, then they keep on debiting money from her acct every month, multiple times! The bank had to cancel her credit/debit card. I have filed a fraud complaint. Unfortunately, since they are in India, they know they are "safe" to rip off poor unsuspecting elderly individuals. Disgusting.

Guruaid.com deceive customers into thinking they are contacting a legitimate company. For example, if you google "Telephone Norton" you will see the top result with a Norton antivirus logo, but which is actually guruaid. I fell for this trap once when seeking technical assistance. They answered the phone, pretended to be Norton, asked for remote assistance on my machine, then sought to gather serial numbers of hardware. I later contacted Norton for real who kindly helped restore my system and pointed me to a Federal Frauds complaints website where i made a formal complaint. STAY AWAY FROM GURUAID as the staff are genuinely fraudulent liars.

terrible thought that I was pranking them. It was ridiculous that I had to deal with this crap, don't use this service.

I called Dell customer support and ended up being switched to this Indian tech company. I had a problem where the computer would not boot up. I am still under Dell warrenty support.

The support people kept passing you around from one person to another and end up conning you into signing up for their service. The day after I went to their site which shows I can get a full refund within the first 30 days without question. I called but they refused to do that. It cost me $100.

Stay clear of this company.

Adriel was as professional as any one that I could want. He was patient and understanding and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable in his answers and didn't feel that is was in any type of "in a hurry" me cut me off" to move on to the next person. I felt very comfortable. I hope that he will be my call guy on our next experience. Thank you Adriel…

I just renewed for 3 years for $399.99 and I am happy to do it. I can call these experts as much as I want ( they encourage me to call every 30 days) and they keep my computer in tip top shape. Their services are comprehensive and include my printer and scanner. I have subscribed to them for 7 years. Worth every penny. I even have Costco concierge service on my newest computer but I purchased Guru Aid anyway because their service is better and on point. I have read negative reviews about GuruAid but that has not been my experience with them at all.

I tried to cancel my auto-renew contract with AVG and somehow got sent to this place.

I'm an affable and patient sort. Convo:

I'd like to cancel my service, please – [in a belligerent tone of voice] "Why are you quitting"? – [stunned] I don't want it any more – "Why not?" – I have new software and don't need a separate firewall. – "When did you start?" – I don't remember; many years ago – "What is the date?" – I don't remember – "Why don't you know the date?" – [ok; enough is enough; repeating an answer is the easiest way to stop questions that need no answers, so I switched to this technique and didn't say 'please', anymore] I want to cancel my service – "Why do you want to quit?" – I want to cancel my service – "Don't be rude or I won't help you" – [!!!!! REALLY?] I want to cancel my service.

And so it went. I finally did get my service cancelled and was furious at AVG's customer service and couldn't imagine why their customer service was so horrible – – until I found out the *sshole on the other end of my line was at a different outfit. AVG is stupid for engaging them. It's not doing their brand any good, at all.

Please note the numerous positive reviews below mine are obvious plants; and in broken English, to boot! There's not even enough creativity to vary them to make them believable. And the dates a month apart? They need to hire a service that writes real-sounding reviews! Or ask family members or people off the street to write reviews without having seen what's already posted. And then post them in a believable sequence. Need I say more?

I didn't trust for a minute that my service had been cancelled, so I hunted around and found the real AVG. Guess what? Had my service been cancelled? Had they even been contacted by guru? No; and of course not.

Do not do business with this outfit. Based on the "training" this jerk received, it is impossible, IMO, to get honest and competent information or help out of these people. And for petessake, don't give them money or your password or your precious time!!

They pretended to be Norton, and after $120 dollars I found differently. I believe these Indians are the biggest generators of hacks in the world. I think our government needs to concentrate on the Indians for hacking American computers, whether it is my pc, or some banks, or elections. Not all the credits for hackings should be given to the poor Russians.

Pretend to be Mcafee support. Requested my mcafee account password so they could look up my account. The real mcafee people wouldn't do that. They asked me my name then verified my address, etc. and told me the information about my accounts.

Amazing Customer service, friendly, helpful and informative! The rep was very nice and helpful! No complaints!

I contacted a company found online and for 拢39.95 they totally screwed my computer, can't remember the name of the company, Guruaid in about 45 mins sorted out the mess and got me back up and running, only thing they did not restore my windows programmes which were deleted by the first company. I contacted windows direct and they re=installed all my programmes, Word, Excel and Powerpoint. I TRUST THEM.
