I ordered google earth 4.3 through these guys. Only after I did not receive an email confirming my order or giving me some kind of activation code did I realize that this was a phishing email of some sort. I've contacted paypal and if they won't do anything I'll contact my credit card company.

I guess I'm also a victim of this scamming company - i.e., ADVANCE TELECOM INC.
Thought I was buying a 3-year membership to Adobe PDF 9 with updates, instead I got taken for $66.74 from my PayPal account!
I agree that PayPal should ban this comapny from any further scamming!!!

I too was scammed. Thought I was signing up for Avast Antivirus 3 year subscription. Taken for $49.96. Called Advance Telecom and I was told they would refund the money but it would take 10 to 14 business days because that was a "normal banking" delay. BS. We'll see if they do the refund.

They got me, too. So I took a chance and replied to the email they provided. I wrote that I was going to turn them in to the FBI. They notified me that a refund was being processed about 10 hours later. My money was refunded within another 24hours. Just the same, I forwarded everything to the FBI internet fraud team.6e

I paid for a TV service offered by this company, using my Pay Pal account and they sent me a false link for download. All the possibilities of sites they sent me by e-mail don´t open. I can´t understand why Pay Pal still admits that company as a client. Their obligation is to care for the customers!

I was also scammed by Advance Telecom for Google Earth-- I paid $29 USD for a "one year subsription"-- it turned out to be the FREE version of Google Earth and the website that I purchased it from was just posing as thre real Google, see: http://2008-download.net/2/index.asp?aff=001&camp=earth_video&kbid=1576&sub=espvideo

Since I paid using Paypal I opened a complaint, wrote them a threatening letter, and they gave me my money back 2 days later. I was shocked that they did. This was obviously a scam, but they refunded my money... why? Something is up! And WHY does Paypal allow them to sell if they are known to be a fradulent company??? I am very suspicious.

i got ripped off good and propper, these people are crooks, sent me usleess downloads each time i complained, even sent a free download, the hide of these advance telecom sharks, trying to get money back, as i paid with pay pal.

I too have just been stung. Clearly no one is doing anything about these sharks, I am angry to see all the others that have been conned using PayPal! Aren't they interested in Cybercrime?

Surely time somebody did something about this!

I got scammed for $49.96 trying to buy avast antivirus software. The website that I visited turned out to be a scam because the real one offers a home version for free. I am contacting Avance telecom now to get my money back. I'll keep you informed.

I ordered Nero 2009 DVD Burner and payed for it via PayPal. I didn't receive that link. I did receive the download link for Nero 8 Trial, but they refused to send me the serial number because the DEMO had expired. When I tried to email them the emails were returned. The sales department send me the DVD bruner XP, which I could have downloaded over the internet for free legally.

I work for a company called Advanced Telecom Services and we are getting calls from consumers who have us confused with this scammer. I should point out that the offending company is Advance Telecom Inc. It is easy to see hoe someone could confuse companies but it doesn't make it any easier when someone is screaming obscenities at you over the phone.
