I got a call at 4.30 pm on a Saturday from the same number, again an indian(?) lady stating the came stuff. I rand the number back about 3 hours later and an indian(?) man answered saying 'windows technical department' but I still am unsure so hung up. I can understand what she may be saying about malicious and jund file as I get a LOT of junk emails not even addressed to me, but am still wary, can anyone help?

I got a call from an Indian lady from (02) 6194 9095 saying we had a microsoft security issue and my pc was downloading viruses or something strange like that. I didn't give her any info and told her I'd call her back once checking my pc, but didn't bother. Shocking this immoral way of trying to get information or get you on the phone long enough to get some personal details. Makes me sick!

Same story as the others. An Indian lady, when I ask, she said she was from Canberra, in Australia - very hesitantly! She gave me this number to call back, (02) 6194 9095. She asked me to turn on the computer as we had to fix some errors...

Hello Friends

Thank you for this blog I had a call 5 minutes back and asked the call centre lady for the number to authenticate and I found your site and it warned me of the scam.

Let me tell you what happend a lady phoned (Tracey) she told me that my windows computer was corrupted;I asked her what a computer was she told me it was a PC; I asked for her where she was calling she told me that she was calling from the Canberra office I asked for the number which she gave me. when I told her that I didn't understand what she was talking about she passed the phone to an Indian guy he introduced himself as Ryan and told me that I was refered by Christy when I corrected him. He said that the calls got mixed. This guy insisted that I have a pc and they were getting information that my "Windows PC" was having some problem they wanted to get access to it. I told him that I don't have a PC he immediately changed his tone & told me that I was living in some backword country. I disconneceted the phone but now have concerns for the retirees who may be vunerable to such scams.
I called the number which was given to me by the first scammer it rang and was ans wered by an Indian named Peter.
