First Choice Tech Support

I got a message saying I had a virus and I should not use my computer.It said I should call this number and they would fix the problem.It cost me $250 to have First Choice Tech Support remove the virus.Then the guy said to me for $400 dollars they would give me 3 years of virus protection and 3 years of unlimited tune ups.I agreed to pay the $400 dollars for unlimited virus protection and for the unlimited tune ups.The sales rep said call about every 3 months to get your computer tuned up.I call just recently for a tune up and was told that I only paid $400 dollars for 3 years of virus removal.Please don't use there services totally a rip off.

I was on my Apple Mac and this pop up locked my screen saying call apple support my Mac was infected so I called turns out it cost me 650 to have it repaired and protected for 4 years next the recipt was from first choice tech support this was a scam I cancels my credit card

My screen went black, then blue with warning ..net frame error 895-system 32.exe failure. Then it changed to "BSOD;error 333registry failure of operating system-host:blue screen error OxOOOOOOCE...Thinking this was apple support I followed his instructions, next thing I knew He had control over my computer....Turns out...it was a sales pitch from 1st choice computer support not Apple...I feel my security online is at risk.

I have a Macbook. I was attempting to register a Visa gift card to make an online purchase.

When I clicked on "register" on the gift card site, immediately I got a full blue screen with a warning in large white letters.

Then I got a pop-up that had a phone number to call. The phone number was also on the blue screen.

I clicked the "OK" on the pop-up and it would disappear and reappear several times. Then I got a verbal warning through my speakers "DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER. CALL THE NUMBER..."

I called the number and found out it was "First Choice" and not Apple support.

How did this third party support company show up on my computer?

I allowed them remote access for about 3-5 minutes and sensed a sales pitch...refused and closed the window, and turned off my computer.
