I want to sing the praises for Gabriel Serrano. I had inadvertently allowed a scammer, believing them to be Geek Squad, control of my laptop. After being inside my laptop for over 30 minutes, they called me back with a series of issues including a Trojan and “someone turned off my defender.” Then the scammer said for $299/year, they would make sure this would never happen again to me. By then, I figured out I had been had. I am not a computer person (as you have probably ascertained) and I was appalled at myself for my stupidity and my trust and also, very afraid. I went into Best Buy and made an appointment for two days later. I had the good fortune to have Gabriel Serrano from the Geek Squad to help me. From the very start, he was calm, patient, positive and he listened to what I had to say. Just what I needed. My anxiety level dropped several degrees. Before he even touched my laptop, I felt better! A preliminary search by him looked good but he wanted to keep my laptop for a more inclusive diagnostic and to add more security. I got a call from Best Buy the next day saying my laptop was finished but that I needed to make an appointment because they still needed to add the security. I called to make an appointment but had difficulty, so decided to go into the store to make the appointment. Gabriel happen to be standing in the area and he said he wanted to help me (I had no expectation to see him and truly had only come in to schedule an appointment.) But said he wanted to finish the job he started and then I would not have to come back again. And he did just that. I felt like he provided exemplary service. He CARED. He was knowledgeable, thoughtful and never once made me feel foolish for my interaction with the scammer. Thank you, Gabriel. Best Buy is very fortunate to have such a good employee!!
