Yeah, Just had a phone call from so called "vick Martin" from one stop computer fix call back number (03) 9008 0256 claiming that someone in victoria was hacking my computer after I hung up on him he rang back instantly 4 times after saying they are a partner company of Microsoft I rang them and they have never heard of the company, what scammers!

Caller: Don’t know

I didn’t recognise the number so let it go to message. The message was a digital Recorded voice with an American accent Saying conference call.

Yes i have too been a victim of these fake phone calls. I must say they are very persistent. The calls were made from both female and males. Every time they rang, i hassled them with questions that they could not answer, in which they hung up the phone on me. About 2 weeks ago I received 2 phone calls from them in one day. The first phone call i actually managed to play along in their scripted dialogue. The callers name was Vic Martin, calling from Melbourne and the head office was in Sydney. He gave me his call back number (03) 9008 4256. He said there was a virus from some hacker in Victoria, through my microsoft.....etc. I told my sister about this phone call, 5mins later another phone call from the so called Australian Tech Support Team rang, saying the same thing all over again...lol. Of course we knew this was a scam and it was time we tried to call them. Our phone call was answered and we wanted to speak to the manager, a man named Andy. We asked Andy to have our number removed from their system. That was too easy. Til the phone rang again, and Andy was at the other end selling us his Scam! Oh dear...I had to stop him in his tracks and tell him that we just rung him. From that last phone call, we have not had anyone annoy us. Im sure this is not the end...

I am in the Inner West of Sydney and I just got a call from a man (with an Indian accent) said his name was Mike. He said that he was calling from a company called One stop computer fix, employed by Microsoft windows. He said that he was getting error reports from our Internet line for the past 7 days and that someone was using it from North Victoria. He said, we must stop the unauthorised access and the hacker could be downloading trojan viruses right now. He asked if we knew anyone in Vic. He wanted me to follow his directions and he would block the access. Go to the start button and then do something to log onto his server.

I told him that I wasn't the owner of the computer and he gave me a phone number to ring him back on ph: (03) 9008 4256 . I asked him how I would know he was legitimate and he said that was a good question. He gave me the website address of the company, so I could check it out (I didn't click on the website, but I googled it and it was there) www.onestopcomputerfix.com He also volunteered his employee ID MPE 00150. He said that the company was based in Sydney, and the customer service in Melbourne.

I told him, that I would get someone to ring him back. I asked him for his last name and he said it was Johnson. Now, Mike Johnson doesn't sound like an Indian name to me.

He was so convincing. He also knew the name listed in the white pages of the telephone account holder. Please be very careful. I didn't do what he wanted, cause giving him remote access to my computer or logging into his server just didn't sit right with me. But I must say, he was very convincing. I googled the company and phone number and it's popped up as a scam and the Dept of Fair trading has released a media release on 7 Oct 2011 that this is happening to many Inner West residents of Sydney. I have a feeling he will ring back and ring many more people.

A foreign sounding man claiming to be Sam Austin from Aust Tech Support Dept for Microsoft Windows phoned and stated my computer was infected and would crash within 2 hours if I did not let him fix it. He gave this ph number to call him back. He claimed to be in Melbourne but phone showed it as an Overseas call. He claimed to be using a call centre. I hung up on him.

some little indian prick who couldnt speak english called me and kept wanting me to get in front of computer stating i had a problem and someone had hacked my computer. Hes a scammer!

This number is listed on the Website - www.powersavers.com - They called soemone i know and sold them a "Power Saving Device" for $159. Dodgy!

They say their business ID  is MCP8729

It's a Scam

I got the sort of call they tried to scam me too. Same sort of details and claiming to be authenticated by microsoft and goverment, and that my computer has been infected by trojan viruses bull s**t the caller was speaking in very heavy Indian accent,she wasn't able to understand me, then she handed over the call to Victor Jackson. He Claimed he was calling from sydney and Claimed someone in northern Victoria has been trying to hack us and wanted access to my computer.I said no, its you who are trying to hack my computer, then he replied he is not scammer and calling from expertcomputersecurity based in sydney and gave me his number - 02 800 35544 and ask me to call on that number and ask for him. I'm sure its a scam so be very wary and do not give them any access or details, it's a scam!!

Got the call tonight from number (03) 9008 4256 a Indian guy claimed to be from Microsoft saying it was infected by someone hacking it from Vic etc etc so he was going to run me through a few steps to fix it (luckily I'm very aware of scams) but I couldn't understand him anyway so he put his manager on which sounded like he just handed the phone to him (not very professional for 'microsoft') the manager 'andy barker' was Indian too but I could understand him. Said my kid was busy crying and I'll call back later, called 3 times no pick up 4th call answered straight away by a man of European descent answering 'hello' I said hi who's this (thinking I had the wrong number) he said Kevin who's this and I said oh I got given this number to ring, is this (03) 9008 4256 he says yeah (still as European voice) I say so this isn't Microsoft?? He says yes (European) this is microsoft (indian ascent) I said ur full of it, go f your self. Funniest thing ever though how he changes his ascent like that and still expects me to fall for it.

Received a call from a guy claiming to be Andy Barker from Telstra. He claimed our computer had been hacked but their engineers were working on it and he could help us. He told us our address. He started asking questions like how many users we had. We started getting suspicious due to the questions and also the time of the call (6pm on a weeknight). When asked for ID he gave his employee ID 224058 and his phone number (03) 9008 4256. He gave us an address on Pacific Highway, but said the suburb was Garden.

My husband had a call from a Mick Johnson who said we had been hacked into for the last 7 days and he needed someone to sit in front of the computer - fortunately my husband knows very little about computers so he rang me - when i called them a "david" answered and said they were a one stopcomputer fix place and when i asked to speak to mike he put him on thephone - he also said i was being hacked but when  i ased how he got my number he said he had received an email from microsoft stating i was having problems - now it is true my computer has not worked for 2 days but i don;t believe him. i told him to cll me tonight when i got home so i could verify a few details. be very aware of these scammers and don;t give them any details.
