Warning about Tech Help on line

I was having trouble with my HP printer. I went on-line to their site and got a dialog box. They informed me that a tech would be calling in a few minutes.

When the person called, I was having trouble understanding what he said, but he wanted to check my computer. I reminded him my computer was fine and he insisted, so I relented. Soon, he had control of my computer and found the problem in my processor? He said he'd fix it, but it would take 60 to 90 minutes.

I told him no thanks and broke the connection. THIS IS A SCAM! Never let someone fix your computer remotely unless you know the source. It's the never ending service scam that can cost you major money!
