Question: Is it possible for a company to wipe content from a website that doesn't belong to them?

Here are the high points:

I was scammed by a company called ITech last Friday evening. I thought I was talking to someone from Norton/Symantec, but I wasn't. I had called to ask that my Norton subscription be uploaded to my laptop. I already had it on my desktop.

With my permission, the "engineer" took control of my computer, supposedly to upload the program and to make sure there wasn't any other security system that would conflict.

As he scrolled through my files, suddenly all the text turned red and with a worried tone of voice he said that someone was "watching" my computer. There were words like "foreign" and "banking in process". Well, I freaked out!

I said I was going to contact my bank. He said that there would be no need for that , and that he would fix it. Long story short, I authorized $199.99 from my account and he "fixed" the problem and uploaded the Norton software.

That evening I contacted my bank by phone and had an alert put on my account. Early Saturday morning I went to my local branch and told my story to an assistant manager. She said she had never heard of such a thing as text turning red, and while I continued with my narrative she tapped away at her keyboard and, to her surprise, pulled up a website that had page after page of complaints that were PRECISELY what I had described about this company, including the 'red' text.

I asked her what website she was on and she said http://pissedconsumer.com she said that as soon as the amount was out of pending status the bank would dispute it.

I was livid. I came home and called ITech and demanded my money back. The individual I talked to agreed to void the transaction. During the conversation I stupidly mentioned the above website and all the complaints. Because of other commitments this weekend, I didn't get a chance to access the pissedconsumer site until Sunday night. There were NO complaints available. On Monday I stopped by the bank again. The asst. mgr. wasn't available, but another bank official pulled up the site and there were no complaints regarding ITech.

I'm not worried about no one believing me at this point, because the asst. mgr. saw the complaints. But I'd like to know whether it's possible that those scam artists somehow pulled all the complaints. Or maybe there's a reasonable explanation for all this. I don't know how to access the cache of a site, but was wondering if someone could tell me how to do that.

Also, the transaction is still is in pending status as of today (Wed.). This is not normal for my bank. I'm going up to the branch later today to see where the holdup is.

I have contacted the office of my state atty general. They gave me the a link to IC3.gov, where I can file a formal complaint.

I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.
