Do not go anywhere near thoseAsses!! I have had that problem too!! Umless You have directly called your provider they are Scammers NO DOUBT!!! HACKERS!! Good Luck!!
Fool me once
I received a call from this company, from and Indian who advised me that my PC was sending them messages and that my firewall was not working. He was at first reluctant to give me a number to call back and when I advised that I would hang up the number he gave me was (02) 8006 1238. He then wanted me to long on to a site called www.aamyy.com and run a program. When I advised him that I was not comfortable with this he started telling me that my machine would crash. I then asked where he was calling from and he said central Sydney, then I said to him is it staffed by Indians only and he said no. So I said how come all the voices in the background that I can hear are Indian and he advised that this was because he and a friend who are students work side by side and his friend was Indian. I could distinctly hear at least 4 to 6 different Indian voices. He kept insisting that he was not trying to sell me anything. I looked up the softwaresupport4pc site that he directed me and it asks for USD108 for a year to maintain the 'warranty' of my software which is a genuine MS product

I also have had 4 phone calls from Software Support for PC saying that I have error messages when I asked for more details, they wanted to dial in and I said no and they have hung up on me now 4 times. I am now about to ring Microsft to find out what is going on.

If you get a call from "Software Support 4 PC" don't waste your time, just hang up - obvilously a scam.
Tonight I got a call from "Andrew" an Indian consultant based in "central Sydney" claiming my PC was infected with a virus and that their company had been receiving error messages from my computer all day.
He also said my security/anti virus software was not working due to the same problem and that their company "Software Support 4 PC" would generously offer to fix the problem for free by logging onto their website and then allowing them remote access to complete the repairs........
I knew something was up and would never allow remote access to my PC but I was curious to know who I was dealing with so played along with him by requesting more detail about the company. He gave me the phone number and website address and said he'd call back in 5 mins. He also said that if it was a scam then why would he be spending so much time talking to me?
In the meantime, I found their website and also this forum.
Upon his return call, I led him along some more and then asked him to explain the feedback I've read here. As I read out one of the posts, he duly hung up. So much for the wonderful service he was offering!!
If you get the same call, don't waste your time, just hang up....unless of course you want to have some fun and play around with them :)

"Linda Wilson",
You also sound like a shill for support4urpc. Are you sure you aren't related to "Suzan Jones"? ANYBODY who falls for support4urpc is a sucker and is being scammed.
