I had the same company ring (24into7 from 173 Sussex Street Sydney Ph (02) 8006 1421) who went by the name of Julius Martin.  When I asked what his Indian name was he said it was Ricky Jones.  I told him that I didn't run windows which stumped him.  Then I asked how he got our number (didn't tell him he had asked for my father who is deceased!!) and he said a data base.  I told him I was on the do not call register and it is illegal for him to ring up and try and sell anything.  He was apologetic and said he would remove my number.  When I rang the number (just to see what happened) an Indian guy answered.  Are they in Aust or get the call transferred to India?

We had this same type of call and I'm glad I googled this phone number as I was speaking to "John Martin".  The scary part is they call you by name and make it sound fairly legit - lucky my mother in law passed the phone over as she had no idea what they were talking about.

I received a call from the number (02) 8006 1421 from Kashif Brown claiming to fix my spyware problem. Told me to give him the windows version, i was really suspicious and kept the phone

I just have same experience above. Lucky I googled on the number -(02) 8006 1421. I was very suspicious how they can get my name and telephone number, as I just sign up the telephone and internet contract with TPG, and have not yet told anybody. Anyone of you with TPG?

Had the same experience. Two calls this week (I hung up on the first, as his accent was so thick I couldn't understand him and the ambient noise behind him was so loud). They persisted and called back tonight - same scenario as described above.
I was told I need to pay for 1 years protection $109, 2 years $280 and "lifetime" protection, $300+. I refused to pay on the spot in this manner, with nothing in writing etc, and asked for yet more verification that they were who they claimed to be, and was given this phone number to contact also. The senior technician I spoke with was Peter Parker (as if the whole thing wasn't sus enough!)
