They do have a job they are paid by gangsters to rip you off...Yep they are pricks, scum of the earth

Same thing happened what a-holes!

i got the same message saying its was dodos number scammers no doubt

indian bloke said he was from Microsoft, I kept asking him questions and he hung up

Same as above; blatant scam.

Yup, scam, hard to get rid of the pop up :(

As soon as I said "why do you want my email address" they just hung up.

When I said I was from Melbourne he said oh nice so is that in Sydney? Lol. Am curious to know what the scam is or do they just get into ur computer and find passwords etc?

I was doing some charity work when this pop-up appeared stating they were from the IT company that service my computer. As soon as I rang their number, I could tell they were not my IT company (I know them by first name basis, and they do not have a strange accent).

Definitely a Scam!

Same thing. Elderly people get caught out by this scam and allow the scammers to remote into their computer and guess what? There bank account balance goes south very quickly. My advice is to report it via Scamwatch.

same message, supposedly from my providers Support. Powered off, rebooted & ran a scan (one threat removed), hopefully that is the end of it.

same here telstra

Same thing happened to me:

I should ring this number purporting to be a TPG Support line, concerning a security problem with my data. i.e Passwords, financial info, photos etc. Number is (02) 8417 2379.

Scam!

I also got this pop up tonight I shut down my computer by pressing the power button and i am now running virus software...Gee why dont these pricks get a job

Hey! We got this one too... dodgy as. Thanks for the tip & nobody trust these f*ckers.

I got the same message, and called the number and man with same accent answered. I did not allow access to my computer. But how do you get rid of the message?

Same as above but for iinet. Scam
