I had 2 calls today from PC Masters who appear to be in Sydney. I am suspicious that somehow my earlier enquiry to NAB had something to do with this.

Had a call from this number earlier today, after a 30 second silence, from a woman claiming to be from PC Masters. I asked where they got my details from, to which she replied your PC.I asked how my PC was sending her my details and she hung up on me. When I did 1471, got the number and tried calling, number was not recognised.I'm wary of giving details over the phone anyway and certainly am even more wary of sales calls, so was never going to give information anyway.

Yes to all the above. Constant silent calls, then one gets through and it is an Asian man from PC Masters who say my pc is sending them error messages. I hung up.

Gal called and said it was urgent because my computer (that I did not have) was sending out urgent messages. She said she was from Creative Solutions in Florida. I asked her so many questions that she started to get annoyed. I told her to get lost and to take her slippers with her!

I received exactly the same call as FG just minutes ago. They are preying on peoples inexperience of computers by getting them to check event viewer. Event Viewer constantly generates alerts in one form or another (usually application errors - these are what the fraudsters rely on). This does not necessarily mean that there is anything wrong with your computer at all.As someone Studying for a degree in computer security I had a long winded conversation with the 'gentleman' on the other side of the line and proved that there was nothing wrong with my machine, at which point he hung up on me.Calls from this number are a scam, they lure you to a website and get you to enter contact and payment details for them to remotely fix your pc.There calls should be reported as fraud using the fraud reporting tool on the Mets fraud website www.actionfraud.org.uk - it takes a couple of minutes and you don't have to provide your own details unless you want to.

The guardian has done a story on this!

I have had 4 calls from this number but nothing is said when I pick up the phone, sometimes it just goes dead, other times there is a very tone (not a fax) and then it goes dead. Wil report more as and when
