Claimed to be from the ATO and that they were taking me to court...don't answer this number as its a scam!

Yup I too got a call mid last week at about 8pm. Which seems late for any telemarketers call.Said he was from Windows, and my computer had error alerts sent to Windows.Indian accent.This guy seems pushy, didn't have a conscience, and had a do-as-I-say-attitude.I could hear a 'clicking' sound on the other side of the line.I let him ramble on, clicked on a few commands he wanted via the 'run' command to pop-up files/folders. He was warning me that my computer was sending Windows error messages. Yeah right.Then said something about going on the internet and typing 'www.support.me'.I didn't and found it very suspicious.I told him I would call him back, asked for his name and number - Frank Ster (hum, a pseudonym for Prankster?) and the number (02) 8005 1786.Then I hung up...it is a scam.http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/security/359233/the-unstoppable-tech-support-scamAnd why can't the authorities stop it??

Had another one today.  Same ol' same ol'.  They were persistent again in telling me to turn on my computer so they could help me solve all my computer problems, very persistent, but I have to say so was I.  This time it was a female who kept asking me numerous questions and ordering me to turn my computer on but i kept on asking her my own questions and ended up giving me the same 15 Elliot St Sydney.  Can someone rattle on their door?  Rather noisily.

Two hours later and i've just had another call from these bar stewards.  this time a woman very hard to understand with poor english and a very poor line but she gave me the very same number and address.  Wouldn't it be interesting for someone to call around there and pay these people a courtesy call.  Does anyone on here live anywhere or pass through "15 elliot st sydney" i assume it's the one near beacon hill?

Same same, guy claiming to be from Microsoft Windows Technical Department saying my computer had downloaded some spyware. He wanted me to turn on the computer but I couldn't have further followed his babbling instructions even if I tried.  Told him I couldn't understand him and said I'd get the person who maintains my computer to call him back so he gave this number.  Slimeball.

They keep calling me too, today 5 times, I asked address 15 Elliott St but there is no listing for this address being Microsoft or any business. I kept telling this Brian O'Brien about my problems if I have any they should know rather than ask me, he kept saying speak louder Mam I cant hear, right. Big SCUM.
Be careful every one, just hang up. This is getting ridiculous.
