I was phoned today at 2.30pm by this number-a woman with a strong Indian accent.  Spiel was that she was from Microsoft Computer Technical Operations Centre, and that my computer was about to crash.  She asked me to turn on my computer and follow her instructions. [My computer was on already-I just hung up]

If you ring the number back a recorded message says they are the Microsoft Service Centre.

Got a call from a rude Indian lady "Nancy".  Says the company is PCHelp & Support.
Trying to lead me thru the windows event viewer scam.

Any one know this number they say they are from PC Help and Support.  They ring my house every day wanting me to turn on my computer.  They are very pushey and often Indian accent which I can never understand.

It is a scam do not fall into their hands, do not do as they ask you to do. They keep calling me every day as well. But when I ask them to give me their address they hang up. I get some times Indian / Pakistani Sri Lankan and also Australian person on the phone. Just now it was Sharon (Australian). Looks like it is a call centre and they employ part-time staff. I asked for their phone number and they gave me (02) 8005 0244. I tried calling them it went to message bank.
I advise you all to go to Microsoft website and read all the scam warnings.

(02) 8005 0244 He gave his name as Ray Barrett & is a proverbial pain & utter nuisance - won't take no for answer & yes, has an Indian accent. Needs to be charged or jailed.
