QLD, Just had someone try to tell me about my computer sending errors to mirosoft. The person could not give me ABN just the www.support4upc.com on a dodgy internet phone line dont fall for it people just have a laugh at them trying so hard to sound legit.

Got the same phonecall today, as you all, she said i had errors, and my firewall was broken, what a stupid b***h, I know my PC inside-out and im a avid computer tech. She insisted that I install Teamviewer which is a program that can give them remote access to my PC. I told her to f**k off. Five seconds later the phone call was cut off, guess she hung up lol...

softwaresupport4pc convinced me my computer was corrupted with trojans and they would clean it  and assist me with a 3 year support program for $300 USI now realize i have been taken for a ride.i have mcafee firewall and virus protection and windows firewallthey advised me my computer will crash etc etcbeware i fell for it

The numbers which they use to call me is :11243521256  Same as what have mention above. I have download the Teamviewer as they told me. Do you think anything is going to happen to my computer? I did not give them my credit card number when they were trying to sell me the service.  I knew it was a scam. Since I knew about computer, I just keep following and see what they were going to do. At first I was not worried, but after I hung up. I started to think about my online banking.  Do you think they have hacked my computer? Do you think my online banking information might be discovered?

If you get a call from "Software Support 4 PC" don't waste your time, just hang up - obvilously a scam.

Tonight I got a call from "Andrew" an Indian consultant based in "central Sydney" claiming my PC was infected with a virus and that their company had been receiving error messages from my computer all day.

He also said my security/anti virus software was not working due to the same problem and that their company "Software Support 4 PC" would generously offer to fix the problem for free by logging onto their website and then allowing them remote access to complete the repairs........

I knew something was up and would never allow remote access to my PC but I was curious to know who I was dealing with so played along with him by requesting more detail about the company. He gave me the phone number and website address and said he'd call back in 5 mins. He also said that if it was a scam then why would he be spending so much time talking to me?

In the meantime, I found their website and also this forum.

Upon his return call, I led him along some more and then asked him to explain the feedback I've read here. As I read out one of the posts, he duly hung up. So much for the wonderful service he was offering!!

If you get the same call, don't waste your time, just hang up....unless of course you want to have some fun and play around with them :)

My daughter received a phone call from "Microsoft" informing her that there was a problem with her 'internet security' on her PC. They told her to download "Team Viewer" and gave her the details. They then said they would call her back and talk her through they steps needed to fix her security. Luckily she is a clever kid and called her mother (me). I told her to not give them any info and to not download anything. They rang her back and she asked for their phone number and name. She told them to ring back when I was home. I hope they do!!

Benn attached to live support 4pc and can't contact them about a pc problrm. Paid $112
