I'm back......Well, I did it again--worked with the computer scammer and should have known better!!!

I was unable to pull up my downloads and this was becoming so frustrating that I was going for Apple Care help. I stupidly went to google seeking the number. DON'T EVER DO THAT!!!! The nice Pakastani man (he told me he was) said no problem he could help. After about a 1/2 hour he asked if he could come on with me so he could show me more what to do--frustrated (never let your emotions get that far when you are dealing with this problem!!!) I agreed!!! STUPID!! He kept asking me if I banked on line. I don't. At the end of an hour he said I have diagnosed your problem, now I have to send you to my technical engineer. OHHH why can't you help me. He said he didn't do that part. He said I have to pay $50 for a 3 year contract and then the technician can help with this problem and I would be covered for three years. OK so it took me that long to wake up!!! I KNEW this was wrong. I texted Henry and,as he dealt with me before on a similar issue,said you are being scammed!!!AGAIN!! I felt so stupid. He said I bet you googled for the number.
It was not difficult to find the Apple Care correct number, which I did, and YES they cleared everything up and gave me hints to know when you are being serviced by them or a scammer.
Please don't ever google for a number when seeking Apple help!!
Better news is I think spring is coming--warmer and a lot of the snow melted with the rain yesterday.
Come on Easter Bunny!!!
