Caller: Scammy McButt-Plugg

Believed shonky number. Given by yet another "Windows service Dept" looking to fix our pc. My son was sucked in, but luckily mum walked in at just the right time.

Yep my mother was targeted by this prick !!!! Talked her out of $400 thinking her computer was infected. Very dishonest. What kind of low life would do this to an elderly person. They also tried to extract further funds from her savings account as they had taken possesion of her bank card #.I will be following this up with the police.And to old mate the scammer............You better hope I don't catch you!!!

lol, look at how the scammers have started responding to this thread themselves, to pretend it really is all fine and legit! As if a legit company would just randomly call people (with whom they are not currently in an ongoing business relationship, and without even checking the do not call list). In my case they claimed to be microsoft, and when probed for detail they invented psuedo-jargon which was so obviously fake ("mother hub" of the internet!) that I laughed, and when they realised that they just spurted profanities and hung up. I find that if you just say "I am a computer technician" right away at the beginning of the call, they will usually hang up on you immediately because they know you aren't going to fall for it. But if you have the time then, for the sake of the next people on their numbers list, ask some questions. For example, how they obtained private telephone details (demand explanation including details that you can fully verify), how you can contact them (insist on going through the yellowpages switchboard entry of the company they claim to represent), precisely how they identified the technical problem (record this and post on youtube for edutainment), how do they try to privately rationalise to themselves their dishonourable relationship to society, and why don't they be honest and direct at the beginning of the call?

It is a scam and don't get trap in to it.

call from (08) 8121 6082 claiming to be support @ microtechcare.com a global windows provider

Hey I have got a call from these people last week ..First it sound to me a scam so i told them i will not make any payment before you give me whatever you promise.They agreed to it and did the services on my computer which was terribly slow and 4 years old.But now its working absolutely fine and they have given all the security softwares for the protection and i am very haapy and thankfull to these people...I bought a three years support from them...Hope they will be giving me the same kind of services

I also received a call from these people and they did some work on my computer, which indeed works much better and faster now. But after paying for it, I became suspicous and rang the above number which I was told to do whenever I needed any further support with regarding the computer. It seems like a private phone number and nobody is answering it. So, my next concern is, whether anybody behind this number will be able to hack into my computer as I allowed the the remote access while doing the work.
