Scam still going at August 2012. Indian woman rings with blurb as described by others. When questioned, claims to be from JARS Services at the phone number in the title.

Absolute scam and i almost fell for it, beaware

Hi All,I just received this call, and when asked he gave me the number 08700 410 12 too. It turns out it's a well known scam, they are just cold calling people and assuming they have a windows computer due to their popularity, they then download a virus to your computer, hang up straight away!

Got the call from some guy and asked for his return number - googled it while on the phone to him and found this site! Idiots...do they really think people are still this gullible? I really hope no one falls for this crap...The guy called back after I said I would ring the number provided and tried to tell me he could prove that it was legitimate - yeah, he is legit and everyone else in Australia is lying about this being a scam.

I received a call today from "Kevin" (Asian accent)  from Jar Support, Adelaide. I told him I am on the "Do Not Call" register and that his call was illegal. He protested that he was legit so I got his name, the name of the company and a phone number: 08 700 41213 and then hung up. When I tried to ring this number, what a surprise, I found that there was no such number!

Got a similar call to those above, saying first that Microsoft had been monitoring our computer for five days and had detected problems. I asked him to confirm our static ip address on which the monitoring had taken place, but he couldn't. I then likened him to a constipated elementary canal and told him not to waste my time, at which he hung up. It was obviously a scam of some sort.

i rang back to "windows department". show u errors in event registry, then to clean them, they want to hook into your computer to "clean" them. i laughed & said "i was waiting to see how the scam worked", they immediately hung up.

Had the same call from a Brett Stevens with a Aussie accent told me he was in adelaide while I was on the phone asked him what the address was and googled it when it came up as a Service Station I asked him if he could smell petrol he sounded confused ever since then I have been calling him every day twice a day and giving him hell he can never get off the phone fast enough lol
