  had only 48 hours to decide or they would delete everything they had gathered on the perpetrator. When I was not willing to purchase additional services from them, they just kept talking about how people who did not had their lives ruined. Everything with this company was based on scaring me, they did not meet the timelines they promised, and they oversold their services. They used high pressure scare tactics knowing I was in a vulnerable position. Without them preying on me when they knew I was stressed with their scare tactics, there is no way I would have agreed to their services.

  On the night I was extorted, I urgently sought assistance and found Digital Forensics Corp (DFC) online. In a distressed state and simultaneously communicating with the extortionists, I was presented with a contract (which, at the moment, I wasn’t in a good state of mind to even look through or truly consider), and verbal explanation of their process, communicating with the extortionists on my behalf. I was led to believe that with their tools they would gather crucial intelligence on the extortionists, to use as leverage against them. Under immense pressure and time constraints, I agreed and signed the paperwork provided.
  
  However, upon reviewing the communication between the technician and the extortionists on my behalf, I am deeply dissatisfied with the limited service rendered. Despite assurances, the technician only obtained minimal and vague information and issued threats to involve law enforcement, which the extortionists easily dismissed due to the lack of specific details. More importantly, the advertised services included monitoring my social media accounts and deep/dark web activity, as well as being “on-call” in the event the extortions appeared again. Despite numerous attempts to obtain evidence of these services, all requests for information that any services are being rendered to me for the remaining $9520.35 have been blatantly ignored, except for reminders to update payment details.
  
  I acknowledge the delicate nature of my situation and do not seek to evade paying for the service altogether, but the value of the services was greatly misrepresented, overpriced, and remains unquantified. The remaining balance of $9520.35 is unreasonable for the services rendered as I am greatly unsatisfied with the services rendered. DFC capitalized on my vulnerability during a crisis, and their failure to provide tangible evidence of the services promised is unacceptable.

  11/24 to Digital Forensics to get this resolved and finalized. I spoke with Kevin, who refused to give me his last name and was very rude to me. He told me someone would call me back and refused to let me speak to the manager. He also said that all of the other caseworker's were too busy to talk to me and he was helping me but, " he couldn't help me". All I want is this money to go back on the credit card that was used to make the initial transaction. Also, for no one else to be duped or of their money. Sincerely, **** ******

  p shared me said bare minimal work and pressured to sell me a $7.8k plan to harass them a little bit more throughout the next few weeks and make a PowerPoint to present to the person's local
  authorities which they still have no leads on. I declined and was still under the impression I was just going to pay my financing plan even if the services was vaguely described per a signed contract. I find out that I was under the expedited plan which was the $5k plan which services were not given and they claimed I'm under contract. I did reach out to their finance department to contest the tactic but they said I am under contract and offered someone in their department to speak with me about the attempt dispute. As of the date of this report, no one from their business has attempted to reach back to me. While I can pay the original verbally agreed finance plan despite services described be debatably met, I don't think this $5k coerced contact which didn't reflect services is justified.

  Hello ******,
  
  Upon reviewing our records, we find no documentation of the situation you've described. According to our records, our interaction with you in June of 2023 resulted in our mutual decision that our assistance was not feasible, leading to the issuance of a full refund. Attached for your reference is the release form, which confirms our agreement to refund the amount in question with your signature on it.
  Please let us know if there are any discrepancies or if further clarification is required regarding this matter.

  I am rejecting what Digital Forensics is saying because they are looking up a wrong case #. The Case number is      ******. It was for sevice to my daughter's phone - ******** ***** -aka *****.         Adress **** ***** ***. ******** ** . However, the $99. Deposit, the Contract and Payments were in my name -   ****** ********* It has been near 4 weeks, and no one has refunded my deposit or sent any confirmation of contract cancelation. When I call, email, and or text, I recieve the same comment everytime. " a Refund Specialist will contact you"  i also, have explained due to the services on my phone, all 800 numbers are sent to spam or scam. Therefore, I need to be contacted from a direct number, and if unavailable to please leave a message or email.  Still no word. Just the same run around.

  I apologize for the misunderstanding. Upon further review of the case number associated with your daughter's account, it has come to our attention that multiple attempts have been made to contact her regarding a refund. Unfortunately, the contact number we have on file appears to be disconnected. To expedite the resolution of this matter, could you kindly request your daughter to directly contact our customer service team? This will enable us to address and resolve the issue promptly. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

  They are refusing to offer any refund.

  The business in their response asked me to reach out to the customer service only to tell me that I initiated a chargeback on the initial payment made by credit card and that they are not gong to refund my money even after I suggested calling my credit card company to cancel the dispute. For the record the chargeback was initiated after their customer specialist refused to honor the refund policy on their original contract a day after I signed the service  agreement. On that day the specialist I spoke to  asked me to take a fraction of the refund I was owed per their contract. I have a copy of that settlement in my original complaint for reference.

  My original complaint stands and can be resolved if they either agree to refund me a difference of $3900 and allow the chargeback of $1500 for a total refund of $5400. Or I allow the charge of $1500 on my card and they refund me $5400.

  she accidentally picks up. Long story short, its not good.
  
  All I want is a refund per the contract I signed (yes I Know...). Less than 24 hours have passed since my initial call and they are giving me the go-around for the refund since they have completed their end of the bargain.
  
  I am back to square one resolving the matter nu myself with my phone company and law enforcement after legal advice that will take a while to solve. I am not sure where i go from here but please do your due diligence. his is a cautionary tell to all and mostly to me.

  The business is making efforts to resolve the matter amicably but the terms of the cancellation agreement ensure protection for the business and nothing  on the side of the client (me)  which makes me vulnerable in case of some technicality  or shange of management.
