They called on February 13, 2019, and informed me that I was going to be refunded for the virus protection that I purchased from iyogi.com a couple of years ago. They told me to log into www.refundiyogi.com and I did and they prompted me to give information and they took control of my computer. I was told to fill out a form for a certain amount and when I submitted the form – they had changed the amount to look like they overpaid me. They then tried to get me to get gift cards from wal-mart to give the codes to so they could get the “overpayment” amount. I looked at my bank account and they had transferred money from one account to another to look like they had given me 4,000.00. But actually they had moved my money from one account to another.

I used the company for a few years. After I renewed my contract, they told me I needed to upgrade. During the first contract they were great! Then they began to use scare tactics to get me to upgrade for increased high costs. Because my computer was used for work, I felt desperate. I chose to do so. One night, I was desperate for my computer to work. I called repeatedly for service. No answer. All weekend, I called. No answer. The next month I called nearly every day. No answer. I decided to cut my loses and take my computer to a service center to remove all iYogi software. Months later iYogi called me and wanted me to continue service (with additional funds) that was soon to expire. I told them "No Thank You" and that I was finished with them. They continued to call me. When the service time did expire, they called repeatedly and wanted to return the money they owed me. They wanted to know the bank name where I banked, not the account number. This was still too creepy. I told them No! They continued to call me. I have asked them repeatedly to stop calling me, that I want nothing to do with them. For months they continue to call me almost every day. One time, the guy asked if my computer was on. Now I just hang up every time. I strongly advise to avoid this so called business.

I have worked with Iyogi for a couple of years and have had good luck with them in the past. Over three months ago I spoke with them about upgrading my computer software and hardware. I ordered an external hard drive that was supposed to have some things specific for my computer on it and a particular version of windows 10 since I have not been able to load it onto my computer. I paid for the products but have never received them. I called them many times to find out where they are and each time was told they were on their way. To date I have not received a thing form them and can no longer contact them by phone, e mail or chat. I know there are some lawsuits against them and I am figuring though I don’t know for sure that I am not the only one they have done this to.
