Say what?

Background: Shortly after we moved in, we hired a geek to come and help debug our networking set-up and to figure out why our main PC was running so slowly. The geek installed his favourite software. It made no difference. Today, we received an automatic renewal notification. (I don't remember seeing the previous one or I would have contacted the company sooner.)

My objective: to cancel the order and receive a refund.

When I went to their contact page, a window popped up inviting me to a live chat session. I've had pretty good experiences with these before. Not so much this time.

Following is the text of an actual "live chat" session I just concluded.

So I went back to the exact web page I had been on and submitted my request for a refund. The chat was a complete waste of my time!
