Caller: ATO

Same as a lot of you, prerecorded call, saying I owe money to tax and a warrant has been put out for my arrest. I just hung up.

Caller: Mark Wilson

Said he was from Telstra , that my internet would be cut off from 6.00 pm tonight snd that several people were using my internet.

It is the bastards who runs the telephone services who sell our numbers to them. We just lie down and take it like cowards.

Have had the same call multiple times now. It has been going on for a few months and they won't stop calling.

(02) 8005 0590 - Scam Number

We had two call's from them last night first at 5pm and my mum told them we did not have a computer and asked for there name and number which they gave her. Then at about 8pm they called back and I answered the call. The same usual spin "hello I'm a microsoft technician and you have virisus on your computer". I said it's ok I can fix it myself as I work for 'MICROSOFT" and guess what the phone
went dead silent and they hung up on me. Hopefully they won't be calling back.

These guys have rung here at least 50 times over many months, the latest is now a tirade of verbal abuse and racial comments and swearing profanity to us on the phone by these people, what powers do australian regularity bodies have to shut these clowns down

i had a call from these people and recognised it as a scam straight away..Now i am the type of person who takes this kind of thing personally how dare they ring my number when i am on the dont call register..It does not eat me up inside but they are going to wish they never called..AS a customer with vphone i have unlimited calls i have their number and i have passed this number to some friends so let the harrassment begin.phone swiched to no caller id...so now whenever i  think of it when im driving when i am working whenever i sit and have a few beers with mates morning noon and night this number will be called for a laugh and giggle..last call i made this afternoon i asked the fellow if i could bring him some curry.If everyone was to harass this number whenever they can they can they would soon have to change it then the gov wouldnt allow them a new number.i feel sorry for the people who get caught out lets try to put a stop to this indian company making money from the gullible.This is an australian number being used to scam people worldwide...As for the people who work for this company well they are open to abuse or get another job..boohoo....people google (02) 8006 2085

My wife got a call from this number today trying to scam her with the same story. The guy on the phone "John" Indie John said he was a junior technicial for a company calling themselves the Windows Service Centre based in Sydney. The guy gave me thier address as 149/2 Victoria Ave Chatswood Sydney. If anyone needs to check it out ...... please do, my wife coudn't believe she had been scammed, wouldn't even let me run Nortons, search the net for scam reports or call friends to find out if this was legit!! "call them now before the laptop becomes infected" Yikes! nearly cost me the marriage!!

Had them for the first time today. I am a PC tech so had a lot of fun with him. He was persistent, he called me back three times, not knowing I'd hung up on him and blaming his connection.
They asked me to do all of the things mentioned in the thread and I asked him how he knew there was a problem with my computer. He said initially he was from Microsoft and when I cottoned on, he admitted he was from a different company.
FOR ANY NOVICES: DONT do what these people are asking you to do. You can in fact give them access to your computer by following there instructions. HANG UP ON THEM!
I happened to annoy my guy enough that he hung up on me. I think it was me laughing at his demands that annoyed him.

I just got a call from these goons today, July 13, 2012! They are up to no good again. Very heavy Indian accent which was the first tip off. They said I got a virus. How did they have my CLSID??

The phone number was different, from Washington. Same scan though. I googled while he was talking, which I could barely understand, and I found this. Really glad I did!

I've been called three times by WinPCTech in the last 4 days (in Melbourne), even though am on the do not call register, which I bluntly reminded them of each time and - don't even own a PC!  Definite scam.  Who ensures that companies who ignore the do not call register are fined?

I live in Melbourne and I've just received a call from them too, about 30mins ago - and I'm registered with donotcall too!! It was from a heavily-accented Indian guy - I managed to get his company name and phone number - (02) 8006 2085 - but as soon as I mentioned that I was registered with donotcall he hung up! So, I've just rung donotcall to lodge a complaint - the very helpful lady took all details of the call, told me it was definitely from a scam company, and said they'd look into it and send me a letter within 14 days re the outcome.
