So it looks like it's not only Geek Squad staffers that scour customers' computers for free porn. A woman in California has recently gone public with claims that she not only watched as a Dell tech support worker downloaded nude pics of her remotely, but that he also set up a website featuring the photos. Oh, and he used her Dell credit card to buy stuff for another woman. The woman called Dell support after some "personal pictures" she'd stored on her new Dell PC appeared to have disappeared from her hard drive. "I couldn't find them on my computer and that made me nervous," she said. She was connected to a Dell tech in Mumbai, India, who asked if he could access her computer remotely, which she agreed to. "I trusted him," she explained. "I trusted him because he was a Dell technician and I don't like the cyberworld, you're so vulnerable." But that's when, she alleges, she watched as the Dell employee not only found the photos, but downloaded them onto his own computer. Says the woman, "I'm totally convinced. I watched him take the pictures out of my e-mail. I watched him." Not long after her call with Dell, those same photos popped up online. At this point, you'd think she would have gotten a lawyer involved, but the woman continued to communicate with the Dell tech. In a head-scratcher of a twist, he talked her into shipping him a new Dell laptop so he could "work on her case" from home. Says the woman: “ And I'm telling myself, my conscience is talking to me saying, 'Tara, don't send this. What are you doing? Are you crazy?' I sent it anyways because I really believed in this guy. I really had faith that he was protecting my dignity. ” But wait -- it gets stranger. Apparently, the California customer wasn't the only woman the Dell dude was chatting with online. In fact, on Valentine's Day he admitted to having fallen in love with a customer from Tennessee. And he he must have been so blinded by his love that he used the California woman's Dell credit card to order $800 in Dell computer gear for the his Tennessee sweetheart. The tech admitted the thievery in an e-mail from his official Dell account. "You're my true friend," he wrote. "I am sorry accidentally I charged your Dell account but I will pay. I don't want to lose my job. It was a mistake which happened with me." According to the woman, Dell has been unresponsive to her complaints. They also did not reply to a request for comment from the ABC affiliate that first aired the story. The woman says she has contacted an attorney and is considering legal action against Dell.

wow. just wow.

Imagine this: DiCaprio as a zombie doing the sketch, or eating people...  Now that's a movie.

Lol. I don't believe her. I think he sweet talked her, she became attracted to him and fell for him, so she sent him some nudes, and then she got all pissed when he ditched her for someone in Tennessee, and now she is going to the media for revenge.

That's how I see it anyway.

Haha, who cares anyways. Everyone has nude pics floating around somewhere. It's the age where even toasters are gonna have cameras on them. BTW, props on the Polaroid.

its Dell in any case, can you expect anything less?

Man, I would never let anyone remotely access my computer... Seriously, how many private and secure documents/pictures do you have on your computer right now? I''m sure there are dozens...hundreds of files you don't want anyone to see.

But yea, I can see how someone with no computer knowledge could do this.

Yuck, at least get pictures from a hot client.

this is what happens when work gets outsourced from then US.... Americans are more discrete when we steal nude photos.

The kind I want to play hide the sausage with.

Friggin computer nerds...

thats some one mentally challenged mom why would you do that and its only nude pics lol

As an IT worker I can say that it is amazing what people put on to their work computers.  I have seen pictures of just about everything that can be done in front of a camera.  Sometimes it is very funny and sometimes downright scary!

oh i heard about this -

really really curious to see what dell does.

seriously why would she watch him download them? there is always a way to terminate the remote access, or you can always turn your computer OFF... duh

funny thing is, Ive had this happen to me once before too. I left all my nudies on my computer then they got hacked and spread all over the internet (jk I dont own a dell!)

How much privacy can you have over the internet anyway. There's always someone who has access to everything.

wow, crazy.

i bet regardless how it ended up, she wanted him to see her pictures in the first place. Like a girl dropping her skirt, ops!

where r the pix?

She doesn't trust the cyberworld but she takes some nudies of herself and sends them to her boyfriend?  Sadly, I think her news campaign is going to be much less discreet for her than had she just handled it with out the PR.

This is pretty insane and freaky too.  I can see why she 'feels like an idiot' though, 'cause she kinda is (sorry to say that, but...).

This is awful

Pictures or it didn't happen.

How did she even find the website with her pictures on it?  Unless he uploaded it to a site he made and was like here's the link to your nudes online enjoy!
