RegCure - iffy business practice, Or maybe it's just me?

Hi All

I had a problem with my pc and to fix it bought RegCure for $19.95 downloaded it and fixed my problem! Great!

LESS THAN 2 HOURS LATER I got an email from RegCure who offered me THE EXACT SAME PRODUCT I HAD JUST BOUGHT from them, for $12.95

Needless to say I emailed them straight back saying what I thought of their offer and asking for the $7 I had apparently overpaid to be refunded.

Anyone got any thoughts on this? Is it legal? Or was it just bad timing on my part?

I will of course let you know of any reply I get from RegCure

Regards

Tony Sharp

  • Was it RegCure that detected the problem in the first place?

    If so, I'd say you've been had. Registry cleaners are often peddled by various trojans as a means of making their affiliates money. They find all manner of problems on your machine and then demand payment before fixing them.
