People expecting scam callers to abide by the "Do Not Call" register? Bizarre...

"WINDOWS SCAM" Received a call from (08) 7200 1192 Indian speaking person who said his name was Daniel from Microsoft, yelled at him "NO" "NO" "NO" than hung up....

Easily a scam. But you can have some fun with them. I had the chinaman soundboard up so I pranked them with a few funny accents for 15 seconds before they hung up. "Hallo,,, whazzzaz ya name?..." (in a funny accent).... hahah.

Indian Windows scam!! Got hold of my dad and kept him on the phone for 3 hours. Got his email and credit card number. Opened a Western Union account and tried to transfer money.
Luckily, there was no credit.

Being harassed by this number. 3 calls in 2 days. Each time I answer it says "Goodbye" in an automated voice. Rang back and no one will answer.

Some Indian sound lady trying to tell me my computer has been hacked - yeah right. Number now blacklisted in VoIP PBX

I thought that the bulk of these scammers claimed that they were from Microsoft... Not this caller, an Indian accented woman said she was from Adaware claiming that i have errors on my computer. It seems that these people are trying a new company to say they are from. Take care, don't believe her, put the phone down, don't hang up just yet. Wait 5- 10 minutes, then hang up, this will stop them.

Definitely a scam! Obviously these people are trying a new angle of telling us that we have a problem with our computers. A woman with an indian accent called claiming that my computer was sending error messages and virus issues to her company. She said she was calling from Adaware!! Mmm, I have not used any Adaware product since my previous P.C. Don't say anything else to them, exept that you are an I.T. expert yourself and nothing is wrong with my computer. She hung up before I did...

Same number as above. 'Nancy' called to let me know I apparently have people hacking my computer 'as we spoke', said she's from 'PC Support and Service' and Adelaide based. Does not work for Telstra. Wanted me to turn on my computer and go into a file? and check on a 'number' (has a copy of to prove she is legit) so that she could step me through repairing my computer. Told her I'm not comfortable doing that on line and over the phone and I will deal with it myself, I asked for her number, she gave me (08) 7200 0370 (realising my phone was saying the other number above) She started to raise her voice at me and said she will call her supervisor to confirm what she was saying. I simply hung up in her ear.

Computer Phisching scam do not do as they say . they will steal all your info.

Some C*&t tried to tell me something about windows error reporting and I needed to get to the computer real quick. I saved her the trouble when I said Sorry No windows in this house ;) before I could say I have only doors she hung up LOL If like someone up here said that they need 5 sales per hour to keep their job. would it help if we continue talking like this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W75lsvrvTU0

why cant Telstra send some people around to sort them out.
Using a telecommunications device for harassment used to be a crime?

Overseas calls diverted through this Australian number, me thinks

Automated "Goodbye" - two such calls in 6 days. I have the whistle ready!

No one speaks then computer generated voice says 'goodbye'

These determined very painful idiots ring every night at different times. Just proves DO NOT CALL REGISTER IS A WASTE OF TIME

how do i stop them ringing my number i am on the do not call register apparently doesnt mean a thing

I've just posted on the Telstra support page about these people, want to report the wannabe thieves :(

DO NOT DO WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO.

They are scammers who will send all your info to their computer and steal credit cards details. Just play with them a bit and make their lives harder... Then hang up!!!!

another call, asked for my wife by name, an Asian operator, didn't ask anything else.

Picked up, no response said Hello again no answer so hung up fast. I'm on the do not disturb register and still getting a lot of dodgy and sales calls. Not good!
