I just got a call from theses people as well. They pleaded with my girlfrend to let them into our computer.They are clamming that they are working for Windows Microsoft, but are an independent company.I wouldn't give them any details or access.Very strange.Be very careful people.Going to report this to Microsoft & the Police.It sounds like FRAUD.

Got a call from Computer Maintenance Dept of Techis Online said I had polymorphic viruses that couldn't be detected by most antiviruses and they could help me fix it. Asked how they got this info they said my service provider told them but this was not true when I checked.  Iasked for a contact phone number which they gave me.Don't know what their scam was but I wouldn't give them access to my computer

Had my parents-in-law (in rural Vic) call me to ask what I'd thought.  They'd had a call from these guys too, with the same story as above.  I told them to ignore it; they're so obviously scammers.  Googled the number and found this site.This may also be related: a friend of theirs had a very similar call, and were informed that the bank owed them about a thousand dollars in unpaid interest.  All they had to do was send $174 to get the the thousand paid.  A very, very obvious scam, but one that could pull people in.

My sister received a "helpful" call from this number yesterday. Can anyone please advise how this scam can be reported to the police?

sounds fake to me

Hi I got a call from an Indian sounding chap who could barely speak English (name Raijim?) who insisted I had a polymorphic virus on my computer.  I insisted he name the virus and e-mail me the error report.  He insisted he speaks to my husband.  I insisted he give he company name, contact number, the name of the virus and a copy of the error report.  Needless to say the call terminated.  These guys must be frauds!!!
