Just got that same call 20 mins ago..my mother answered him and he said her windows OS was corrupted and not knowing what he was saying she put him onto me..asked him what company he was from and he never said just said "we deal in computer  maintenance for linux and apple/mac"....said he was Alex Parker based and living in London but with an accent that strong it was dodgy....he claimed Anti-virus wont pick up on this fault and only he can fix it....he wasnt happy when i gave him abuse down the phone haha

Now this guy is calling in Canada. Same spiel and very agressive when you don't play along. He got his "Supervisor" on the phone to vouch for his legitimacy. Yea right.  Just another guy with that same thick accent. Just like weeds: Very hard to get rid off. Microsoft will NEVER have some one call us to warn of imminent danger or for any other reason.

Yes. I have just received a call from a from dodgy indian guy.  Said he was from Microsoft Windows Technical Support Centre.  Gave the same speil you guys got. However he rang me on my silent number to discussion the serious infection on my computer which I have only had two weeks running the latest McFee security software. I became more suspicious with hardsell to spend $109 and the alleged crash which was rapidly approaching. In the end I declined but it took a while to get him off the phone. We did our own research and agree the domain name has only been around a month. I ran a full Mcfee Scan on my PC with no hits or alerts. They from you have said and our experience are offering some service, but I think it might be a Con whether or not you get the services providered.

These guys took care of my computer and removed all the malicious files. Now, since i signed up with them for one full year, i can feel secured that my computer is not going to be prone to hackers. 2nd March 2010

I got one of these calls today, person that would NEVER be put on a call center, especially for MS.  I worked for MSLI, so this being the second call from this idiot (i found that out later...) as he began his schpiel, I said, OK (couldn't clearly understand him, so I made him repeat himself often, kep speking you prick, you need the practice...) so I asked him, what department do you work in?  {pause} - oh never mind, what were you asking?   Blah Blah Blah Malicious files...  I laugh LOUDLY...  "Boy, did you call the wrong person... I work in software QA, I happen to know my system is clean as bleach, so you must be full of...""  he starts to get pissy "Why you laughing?" he says - I said "BECAUSE I WORK IN SOFTWARE QA YOU MORON, I..." click.  Hat it when they leave when it gets really fun, Bastard.
