Having logged onto tomtom to check for an update to my start 20 satnav I was directed to a website who are, they said a ‘partner’ company selling map updates £100 for a 5 year plan. I was a little sceptical and ended the session. The company was gps map update. Tel # 0800 689 0416.
With an email address of: [email protected]
Has anyone had details with this company and is it a bonifide company.
Your help would be appreciated
Cheers,
Patrick

    Thanks Niall, I thought as much, that’s why I ended the session, unfortunately I do not have the URL as I deleted all browsing history and have undertaken a full virus scan just to be on the safe side.
