Though the technician resolved the issue perfectly, there was some problem with the payment. Instead of single incident plan, he charged me for one year subscription. I raised a complaint through their complaints form and soon a technician got in touch with me and apologized for the mistake.

Daily i have to clear my spam box to get rid of these mails. These scam mail senders are very clever they keep on sending mails trying to lure me with free offers, jobs in abroad, lottery winning etc. etc. Sometime i wonder that are they able to dupe people with such mails. But then i think that might be one out of 100 people falls in their trap. It's possible that they succeed in duping one or two people. They will only stop sending such mails once we all become aware of their malicious intentions. Mass awareness only can stop them. iYogi is doing a great job in spreading awareness among common people like us. How can iyogi be called a scam then.
