Just a couple of points, Watchdog may well have a point that the overall business model is suspect. but with the 2 examples, they simply expected the impossible.
example 1. They send a got a computer technician to go to a fake customers address saying that the computer had stopped working. Watchdog had gone to the hard drive and changed the master / slave jumper. Even if the technician was not dodgy and was a genuine honest tech support guy, how was he supposed to diagnose this?
If a tech asks the customer, "have you done anything to the PC" and the customer replies "it just stopped working"
then why would you even look for the slave jumper?
The second point.
they said that they broke data protection by only formatting the hard drive and not using techniques to fully erase old data. This is beyond harsh because to be 100% that data can't be recovered, as far as i know you risk damaging the hard drive beyond repair.
The company in question where dodgy, but Watchdog in my opinion are just as dodgy and mislead the public often, just for shock value it seems.
