      Better Business Bureau:



      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear.

      I asked the company to provide exact outlines of the work completed. They have not provided me with any. They promised a 30 day investigation which I canceled on sept 9. They already have my 300$ deposit, and no work has been done. They are demanding payment for services they didn’t provide. Furthermore I was called by a case manager who wanted me to upgrade my package, and when I declined I was called by ******* ******** who demanded voice authorization to continue with the program. I told him I did not understand what I was consenting too. 


      They are not responding to my emails. They have not provided me with any contract or voice authorization. The company’s BBB rating is indicative of their predatory practices, as confirmed by dozens of reviews. 


      [To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, we would like to know your view on the matter.]




      Regards,

      Thank you for sharing your concerns. We take all feedback seriously and aim to provide clarity regarding the services we offer.
      It is important to note that you willingly signed a contract agreeing to the terms, and you had the opportunity to ask questions or seek clarification before doing so. Following the contract’s execution, one of our representatives reached out to you for a recorded voice authorization to ensure that you fully understood the terms. During this conversation, you confirmed that you were of sound mind, over the age of 18, and not under any form of duress.
      Given this documented authorization, we find it difficult to reconcile your current claim that you were coerced or pressured into agreeing to the services. We also believe the issue at hand may be related to challenges with meeting the agreed-upon payment terms, rather than any fault in the way our services were offered or explained.
      Furthermore, you provided a screenshot showing our company's attempt to reach out to you on September 9th, one day after your request to cancel the service. Our records confirm this, and unfortunately, you did not respond to that outreach or to several other attempts we made to discuss your complaint and address your concerns.
      We have consistently tried to resolve this matter in good faith and remain open to further communication if you would like to discuss the issue.
      At no point was coercion or pressure applied by any of our representatives. We are committed to operating with integrity and are still willing to address any questions or concerns you may have.
      Please feel free to reach out if you would like to discuss your account or the services provided

      ame increasingly fear-driven, warning me that not proceeding could lead to severe consequences.

      Throughout the process, Digital Forensics Corp failed to meet their promised timelines and oversold their services, all while exploiting my vulnerable state. Their tactics were based on instilling fear and making me feel like I had no other choice but to continue paying for services I didn’t need. Without these scare tactics, I would never have agreed to their services.

      Now, they are continuously harassing me with emails and phone calls, threatening legal action if I don’t make further payments. This ongoing harassment has become unbearable. I’ve already paid for the limited services they provided, which did not meet my expectations or their promises, and I have no intention of paying further.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      Digital Forensics Corp. falsely claims we are engaged in a "discussion" to resolve this matter. This is not the case. They initially reached out by phone, made several excuses, and despite acknowledging that my son canceled the service within an hour, they have refused to honor the cancellation.

      Instead, they are demanding that my son sign a document before they proceed with cancellation and refund. This document further illustrates their extortive tactics, as it imposes unfair terms to absolve them of their unethical practices. After consulting with my attorney, who strongly advised "Do NOT sign this under any circumstances", it became clear that this is a manipulative attempt to force compliance under questionable conditions.

      After my son received this emailed document, I attempted to follow up with "Chris," the self-identified customer service manager who previously contacted me, the person answering the phone refused to connect me with his extension. No further attempts to resolve this issue have been made by Digital Forensics Corp. As a result, I am escalating this matter to the Attorney General of Iowa to ensure that businesses like this, which prey on vulnerable individuals, are held accountable for their predatory practices.  Digital Forensics Corp. must stop these deceptive tactics and honor legitimate cancellation requests without coercion or additional conditions.



      Regards,

      promises, and unethical behavior regarding cancellations and payments. This alarming pattern of exploitation cannot continue unchecked.

      I urge the BBB to take immediate action to hold this company accountable for its predatory behavior and to prevent further harm to others.

      Thank you for your feedback. To clarify, your son, who represented himself as a legal adult, signed a contract confirming this status and was our direct client. In line with our policies, we offered him a full refund and attempted to reach him several times to resolve the matter, unfortunately without success. While the atmosphere during our conversations was uncooperative on your end, we have fully adhered to our refund policy and remain committed to resolving concerns fairly. Please note that this issue pertains to your son, a legal adult, not to any business conducted directly with you.

      Through out this entire process Digital Forensics has been persistent in getting me to go along with their "phase 2" which is only to get me to give them more funds with predatory sales tactics and has not once actually assured me that the situation with the criminal on my account was handled.

      And despite the fact that Digital Forensics notified me that the BBB contacted them, they did not officially respond to the BBB.

      sonal info-any pics, and how i was contacted by the criminal. He then turned me over to analyst(Gabreil O) who then took my Instagram info & said he'd pose as me and that i was to log out and uninstall the app for my protection. In this way he'd monitor any activity. If the criminal reached out to me in any way, i was to send screenshots & block communication immediately. When I asked if i should contact the police/FBI, he said "no" ,wait 5-7 days for a report he would send me.
      After my initial shock, I started to think how they asked for the money and the wait to contact the authorities, I began to question the legitimacy of this whole thing.

      I then reached out to my bank and they had immediate concerns,put my contact on high alert, and told me to contact the BBB.

      In March 2028, I was contacted by representatives from Digital Forensics Corp who pressured me into signing a contract worth $5,000. I was not interested in signing this contract, but the representatives employed fear-based tactics and repeatedly emphasized potential severe consequences if I did not comply. Feeling coerced and under duress, I signed the contract. Since that time, I have repeatedly tried to resolve this matter by requesting to speak with a supervisor or manager, but each time I am either placed on hold indefinitely or the call is abruptly disconnected. Despite my requests, no meaningful assistance has been provided. Since signing the contract, I have been subjected to daily harassment from your company. Representatives from Digital Forensics Corp call me from different phone numbers, threatening legal action and insisting that I have an outstanding debt that must be paid immediately. These calls are relentless and are causing significant stress and anxiety. In addition to this letter, I have filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), my state’s Attorney General’s office, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). I will also be exploring additional legal avenues to protect my rights and seek redress for the harm caused. I expect to hear back from you within 2 business days. If I do not receive a satisfactory response, I will be forced to take further legal action.
