Called HP from a computer generated number. I was told that in order to get all the "drivers" fixed in my computer that I had to go to a SHAW's grocery store and get either a $350. Target card for 6 months worth of coverage, a $500 Target card for 1 year of coverage and $1000 (2 $500.) gift cards for a "lifetime" of repair for my computer drivers. Sam Patel also told me that I would have to tell them that the card(s) were for gifts so that I would be exempt from paying taxes on the cards. I should hurry to the store for the cards. He (Sam Patel) also told me that I could also get Apple cards but only the white ones, the $500 ones (2) of them. He said the other ones wouldn't work for this purpose. He said "so when can I expect a call back from you?" umber 866-787-6520 Ext. 401. He even told me "not to hurry", that he would be there when I got back. He assured me that my HP printer was "still covered" and that within 25 to 30 minutes I would have the balance (I told him I would choose the "lifetime" option for $1,000). FTC and Attorney General's Office will get this one. Just look up the number and you can see for yourself the this is a scammer. Sam said "when can I expect to hear back from you?" I told him I had to get dressed and the store was 15 minutes away. He said "I'll be here when you get back". Yes, Sam, I believed you on that but I didn't believe eve for a second that you could fix my printer...
