I was trying to set up my Amazon Alexa with no success. I was referred to this company by a third party. During the conversation with a male with an accent, I was suspicious but fell for it anyway. I feel so stupid. Through the conversation I was told I had two emails in my system from Mexico that has given me a virus. This person did not assist me to become connected to Alexa. I was sent an invoice, that looked business like for $199.99. I paid by check and when I reviewed the signature on the back of the check it was endorsed in hand writing. A business does not endorsed a check in that fashion. I phoned the phone number above and was only asked about my information and would not answer when I asked him why a personal signature was on my check. He just remained asking for my information such as invoice number. I gave him no information and hung up. When I phoned back to inform them of this complaint they continued to ask me questions.i again hung up.
