“Can the victims get their money back? Yes. If you have been the victim of an unregulated binary options scam or any scam at all then you are 100% eligible according to the law to recover what was stolen from you. With the right approach and evidence of the fraud you were a victim of, you can recover back your Bitcoin. Those behind the binary options scam want to sell the idea that what happened to you was an ‘unfortunate investment’ when in reality what happened to you was theft via an elaborate scheme. If you are a victim like I was or know a family member or friend who is a victim of binary options fraud, you should speak to a financial fraud recovery expert – it is not too late to recover your money.

“Avoid doing business with these people. I felt compelled to make a $5,000 investment with the generous hope of receiving a 30% return. Unfortunately I couldn't even see the cash in my wallet, much less the expected profits. Many attempts were made to contact them without success. To get assistance, I had to call Mrs Doris Ashley. I'm glad I reported them, and I got my money returned a few days later Email dorisashley71 (@) gmail. Com. WhatsApp+1-(404)-721-56-08”

“Very helpful chap in Sevenoaks store but needed remote help-once again the star man Ryan came to the rescue and after 30 minutes I was back in business! Cannot recommend fixio enough-if only all retailers had such customer service levels”

“I was advised to use fixio by an apple tech specialist, as my MacBook has a defective screen and apple would charge £492+, 2nd hand screen on eBay at £70- so raised call and drove to Brighton office, so 1st hard to get answer, bell. 2nd no parking anywhere,3rd is, clearly did not want the job, advising of lamination issues and may not be display. So will do it myself (with help of ifixit) and as a mobile device specialist of too many years, will not be able to recommend this company, he clearly did not want to help.”

Hello Mr Collyer, Thanks for the feedback and review and we're please that Apple are referring customers to us. I'd like to respond to your points. 1 - I'm confused about your first issue about it being "hard to answer". As we were a little short staffed today we had our front door closed and as you suggest have a bell that customers can ring for service. We the bell is pressed we come to the door. From memory when you visited my front of house colleague was on the phone so I stopped a repair and made my way to answer the door. This may have meant that you had to wait outside for 20 to 40 seconds at most. Im sorry this wasn't acceptable but we were a little short staffed today. 2 - Pay and display parking is available outside our shop and often people use our drop kerb by the store to stop and drop off their device. As I'm sure you can imagine parking restrictions are out of our control. I would suggest making a complaint to Brighton & Hove cancel about the lack of parking for local businesses. This would help us greatly. We're often asking for more pay and display bays in the area. We do not have our own free parking spaces and we're sorry about that. 3 - We always want new business...!!! Why wouldn't we? We're a small independent business and helping people with their tech is our lifeblood. We're not a large corporate that doesn't care about customers. From memory, I was trying to explain the the de-lamination scenario and you cut me off and didn't let me finish my sentence. You, seemed to know better. We always need to assess a problem before jumping to conclusions and customer assumptions. I was explaining that our charges would be more than just £70 for the screen you had found on eBay as we'd need to fit the part and this takes time but again you cut me off and said I'll do it myself and proceeded to walk out. We're you expecting us to do the repair for £70 using possibly faulty unverified parts including our labour? If you would like to discuss this further or change you mind and would like us to help with the repair let us know by emailing us direct ono brighton@fixio.co.uk. Sorry we didn't meet your expectations.

“It is often said that the test of a good company is how they respond when something goes wrong. Fixio attempted to send my computer to a third party without my consent, or even knowledge, and it was lost in transit. Instead of accepting their responsibilities, Fixio went to their lawyers to try to avoid any liability. That's the sort of company they are. Be warned.”

Dear Anonymous, We do not have any lawyers but we are a member of the FSB (which for a small annual fee (less than £200 per year) includes all legal advice - and we felt it appropriate to contact the FSB to seek legal advice in this situation as you had demanded £1500 from Fixio due to no fault of our own). You gave full consent for your hard drive to be sent to a third-party data recovery specialist as this was not a service we could offer you; furthermore you agreed to any fees this third party service would incur if successful. DPD accepted full liability and apologised for your lost hardware but they only offered the value of your hardware they lost as compensation which was sadly only £10. We informed you of DPDs very low offer and at this stage you demanded £1500 in compensation for item lost by DPD. The FSB then advised us you had no evidence to be able to demand £1500 in damages. But, as we felt DPD’s offer was insubstantial, we offered you £150 out of our own pocket by way of apology to you for the situation. You accepted this £150 offer to which we made a bank transfer to you in March 2023. I felt and still feel five months later that this type of customer service from Fixio (paying you £150 out of our own pocket alongside numerous verbal and written apologies from us) is an example of how well we treat our customers; especially when compared to a multi-national company like DPD who made an offer of £10 even though they fully admitted all responsibility for the loss. But from the moment you told our Seb, our Tunbridge Wells shop manager, not to back-up your data during your initial repair process you have continually made things up and twisted what has been said to you to make it look like the Fixio staff have done something wrong in this situation. I have had to continually check our CCTV for evidence against the numerous untrue claims you have made against us as you have consistently tried to apportion all blame onto us like we’re some large national company with access to limitless compensation funds. This culminated in the request for £1500 to be paid into your bank account. We are not a large company, quite the opposite, we are a small local independent trying to continue to offer a good service to our customers and remain a local employer during difficult post-covid turbulence and now a cost of living crisis. I sincerely hoped this generous offer from us, which you accepted and we paid to you in March, would be the end of the matter but you have now decided five months later to write this damaging review against us and to continue you with your spurious claims about us but this time by way of slander on a public platform.

“I took my phone into Sevenoaks shop on Thursday, I saw James. He was really nice and helpful. I left my phone which seemed to need a new battery and he told me to ring Friday at about 12, I did and sure enough it was fixed. He is such a nice man I would recommend this store to anyone.”

“Do not use this service, pay a little bit more and get a reputable company to fix your computer issues. I have an iMac which had issues booting up and they took 3 weeks just to get a “specialist” to assess it only for them to inform me there’s nothing they can do about the issue. Best part was I had to ring them up to ask for an update before they updated me, even though they had that information days before I called to get an update. You’re better off going through a reputable authorised Apple retailer, it may be expensive but to avoid all the hassle that comes with this company, I’d swallow the expensive pill!”

I have no idea who you are, this service does not sound like us and as the screenshots attached show this is still an unverified review even after I have made numerous requests for it to be confirmed as a customer of ours. As you mention we are 'unauthorised by Apple' though - we most certainly are authorised by Apple. All out of warranty Apple repairs can be done through us by way approval for their Independent Repair Programme and to use their genuine Apple parts.. You also mention the word 'reputable'. We have been in the business of Apple repairs for over 15 years and have an active customer base of over 17,000 GDP compliant customers on our CRM. We have over 100 years of Apple repair experience internally including 5 Apple authorised repair technicians. And, assuming we can trust Google's data, then we have 4 stores across 2 counties and all have hundreds of Google reviews each with an aggregate score of 4.9/5 in each and every store. This all sounds very reputable to me. Jon Traquair (owner)

“I rang Fixio as I had a problem with my apple iPad Pro connecting with my computer. David was so helpful and suggested what to do to fix it, I tried it, and after hours of conversations on the phone to hp to no avail, David’s recommendation worked straight away!!!! I would certainly recommend their services, they were polite, did not make me feel silly, and were able to help me first time. I will definitely use them again and I highly recommend them to anyone with a computer/printer problem. Well done fixio!”
