It seems that all "warranties" and especially " extended warranties" are just a way to collect more money from customers. Big "legal" companies are nowadays more interested in make quick bucks (huge bucks) rather than stand on their products. They can make billions before customers realize is not worth to buy a particular brand. Then they can sell the company or declare bankrupcy and start a new one.

The biggest scam going is with computer warranties. Here's what happens in a hard drive crash, which is common with difefrent brands:

1) They expect you to repair it, following instructions given by someone speaking a different language. <img alt="confused" class="emoji" src="https://sitetest.lv/engine/data/emoticons/confused.png" srcset="https://sitetest.lv/engine/data/emoticons/confused@2x.png 2x">

2) When they finally determine it is not repairable, they come out with a new hard drive, and install it. They walk out carrying your old hard drive, with all of your personal information on it. NO, you can't keep it, and NO, they won't allow you to take it to a data retrieval service, and they ASSURE you none of your data will be compromised. :D (YEAH, RIGHT!)

3) You get to figure out how to reload all of the programs, etc., onto the new hard drive. :eek:

4) If you're smart, you will never again even look at a computer.

Yes, I am blatantly trying to spread the word (not spam, I'm not selling anything) to help others who were either duped by issues or were considering buying. MANY people have been duped by this issue and are banging their heads into walls with OEM companies trying to get it resolved.

Hopefully other people will read this and and won't be caught by the same issue.
