Had a call from Kate who told me that she was calling from the Microsoft Certified Technical Department. When pressed she told me that she was calling from India. When I pressed her for an Australian phone number she gave me (02) 9037 2906. She told me that they had had reports from the windows routing system that here were problems with my computer. I strung along for a few minutes as I get these calls quite regularly and then the phone went dead. definitely a scam. I called the number by using Skype and received an answer from Nick Woodruffe. After pressing him for details about the company, he admitted that it was not part of Microsoft but was certified by Microsoft to provide technical support to Microsoft users. He told me that his company name was 'On Line Repair World, an Indian based company with its own website: www.On Line Repair.com and all of the details for the company were available on the website. I pressed him for details of the company in Australia, including its ABN and after some resistance from him he told me that the Australian phone numbers used by the company only re-routed the incoming calls to India. I told him that I wanted further information about the comp[any and what it was selling, so that I could pass on the information to Australian Consumer Affairs. He hung up!!!

I've had two calls from these guys. The first guy hung up when I asked him if I could get his number & call him back. Couple of weeks later, Christine Jones rang saying she was from Windows Technical support. Same phone number given when I said I had to dash. Scam scam scam

Yes, today same thing happened to me. I got suspicious when they wanted remote access, the strange thing is they knew the computer CLSID. I had uninstalled "Pro Optimizer" that i thought was affecting my MS Update, then 30 mins later got that call. Sheesh! I took the number, she even gave me a MS employee id. Jenny Fuller 2210212 . No wonder my machine cannot update, it has a frickin Trojan on it.

We got Russell last night (unlikely name for an Indian), he conned my 15yo son into accessing our coumputer but when my son told Russell he was under 18 Russell said he'd have to stop until I got home - very nice of him until I realised he knew my son would not have access to a credit card! So he called back to speak with me and yes, same scam - said I'd lose access to windows if I didn't allow him to clean up all the viruses which could infect the microsoft mainframe if not repaired!!! Claimed he was calling from the UK, gave me this number but could'nt tell me the time in the UK so god knows where he was actually calling from. The number that came up on our phone was 122538203089. Wanted to charge AUD$194.

I got errors coming up on my computer and they said i couldnt acess my internet due to firewall etc. i managed to get rid of it with an anti virus and all seemed fine when i recieved a call today from Anna Gomes and DAVID 11210 FROM "WINDOWS tech department" i allowed them to access my computer and they showed me virus wrnings etc. i was nearly sucked in and i thought they were going to clean up my comp free of charge but then the catch- $349 to fix it and receive a "lifetime guarantee" im still a bit worried about my computer though and it all seems so co-incidental. but im convinced its a scam and wont be handing out any money

I hope this people will be caught. "Russell" was supposed to be from Microsoft Certified Technical Department. "Russell" gave me "Microsoft Australia Headoffice" numbers (02) 9037 2906 Asking me to check. I told him I will check but not from this numbers. I did called the REAL Microsoft and report about the scam that uses Microsoft's name. Microsoft is going to look into this matter as well.

This is an indian scam, ripping people off. Nick Robinson, Shaun Robinson, Rex Williams, none of these people exist. Spread the word so people know this is not a legit business.

Got a call from "Sam" with an Indian accent from an overseas phone number claiming to be from Microsoft and he was their certified technician. He claimed my computer was sending out viruses and he could have me run some scripts to fix it. Since my computer is behind multiple firewalls he would have no way of identifying it, so I clearly knew this was a scam. I kept him talking on my mobile (which my wife had unfortunately given him the number for) for some time before asking for his name (Sam) and his Company (Online Repair World) and his phone number so I could call him back. After checking with someone else he quoted this phone number (02) 9037 2906. I googled Online Repair World and found it is a serious phishing scam so clearly not returning the call.

Sample complaints we have found for (02) 9037 2906

froggytuff

got a call toofrom the same numberIndian lady. Sharon Wright.Very suspicious.also made me very skeptical.How did they get my tel number? & Computer ID???
 

Nick

they are doing great jobs & they have fixed my all problem of my computer
 

telemarketer hater

Petrus you have been scammed my friend. They have rung me nunerous times with all the same crap and they are a different buisiness every time. How much did you pay? The whole point of the call was to scare you into buying the anti virus software. You gave them remote access? to a stranger? holy crap.
I wondered what people fall for this crap, because they keep getting sales they keep doing it buddy. All computers have that error message list deleting it magicaly does nothing.

If you hadn't made a purchase they would have installed a virus that you would have to get repaired by a  computer technician, if you where lucky.

NEVER by anything from a TELEMARKETER, nothing.

I feel i was totally taken advantage of and scammed they even took $194 off me, my computer is no better and i am a single mum on the pension. Please do something as it chills me as to what they could do, as they had access to my computer.

I agree with 99% of the posts here as too I have been searching the ph number in question (02) 9037 2906.I was stressed and almost convinced.To tell the truth If had the money ...who knows. the cost was 100 dollars up front an 5 days for the rest and that would pay for the software to fix virus. Also something that has not been mentioned here at this post the fraudster threatned that i would lose my computer licence if i did not get it fixed. I was frustrated and fed up so i said go on cancel it then ill just buy a new one!The fraudsters had me though. I too was skeptical and asked to speak to his superior and tried to talk HIM down and catch them out!  but he was too convincing for his own good.thankfully i had  no money yesterday!!:)bet they spend theri whole lives learning how fk people out of a $!

I just got the same cold call. I knew it was a scam (as I had had several before) and got his phone number and name as I was "busy" and would "call him back".
He said it was Ryan Matthew and his phone number was (02) 9037 2906.

These people are complete bastards. They make out they are doing you a favour and all the while they are trying to stab you in the back. No way am I letting them have Remote Access to my computer.

I have received several of these calls. The best thing to do is to ask them what OS the viruses are for and then say you have something different and therefore do not need their services. If they ring back a few months later and say that they know what OS you had because you told them before say that you have now upgraded to a different OS.

Do not give them your OS first. Make them commit to an OS FIRST and then say you have something else.

This annoys the hell out of them as they have no answer to this.
I hope this helps.
