Has any on been scammed by hoax Tom tom technical team?
Recently I thought I was being helped by a Tom Tom technical department only to be sold an illegal pirated software of Webroot? It has led me to to report to Action Fraud.

All sounds OK, but I was uneasy with being pressurised into paying quite a lot for the download....which they did as a 'deal'....lifelong updates for the price of the three year option. Also, if the TomTom fails in any way, they will replace for free, apparently.
The point is, ithe had been such a struggle to get that far with trying to log in to the TomTom site (kept telling me my password etc didn't match etc) that I didn't want to go through the process again......and the sat nav had no maps on it.
Have I been scammed? What can I do? Should I confront them if they phone me tomorrow?

Sorry to hear this. There is no way that Tomtom would have taken over your PC
Can you provide the Website addresses involved so that a it can be checked and followed up by Tomtom.

If you don't know how to deal with it - find local IT specialist to help you to clean your PC.
But the best - do not fall into this scam, it is very easy to recognize if you use critical thinking.
