They are still at it. Thank goodness for google that I can out in their number and work out they are a scam!

Yep mytechonline is still at it. They have called me 5 or 6 times over the last year usually around 7pm at night. This time I led them down the garden path for a while while they went through the usual Event Viewer crap then I jumped on my soap box. I asked "Anna" (usually it was "Stella") why she was doing the wrong thing trying to control other people's PCs. She maintained she was doing nothing wrong of course. I then jumped a little higher up on the soap box and brought religion into it ;) she was Christian as it turns out and I gave her a little lecture on right and wrong. I said "Look everyone has got to make a living but there is a right way and a wrong way. Try to do the right thing." Admittedly, job options are probably not that great in Mumbai. She maintained she was doing no harm all the while so I bid her good night. Hopefully they will put a little mark against my number and not ring it again. They'll probably use my call for training purposes... ;)

Want stop calling

A very rude and demanding asian sounding woman named Anna called twice. She didn't like to hear "no thank you" - needed to just hang up on her.

Received a phone call suggesting I check using My Computer then to Computer Management then to Event viewer then to Custom window log and then to List of information. If I had more than 5/6 Errors in red circles with white cross or yellow triange had major problems with my computer. Took no action but see others have had similar problems.

In reply to the person who gave his name as G. Anderson, sounds like he is one of these scamers defending himself.

received a call from (02) 8091 5001 from an Asian sounding lady who insisted that I had been hacked 180 times and she could talk me through fixing it, she obviously thought I was stupid. When I told her not interested she began aggressively screaming at me that I must do as she tells me or my computer will be worthless. I hung up she kept ringing back even after I blew a loud whistle in her ear, she eventually stopped.

hey george, have you ever tried to call microsoft for assistance? they are generally not very helpful, these guys are not authorised or linked to microsoft in any way. they may assist you to help your computer run nicely, but, anyone with a bit of computer knowledge can do that. they try to remotely connect to most customers computers, load virus' and then adv that you need to purchase a product from them to fix it and pay for 2 or 4 years of service. they have no LEGAL obligation to help you as they are not an australian company and do not abide by australian consumer law. the shop you bought your computer from could very easily make it run faster, hell, even doing a google search and paying no money will find you so many tips and programmes to help your computer faster. be very careful, once they gain access to your computer they have INSTANT access to your personal details, ie bank details, you do not actually realise the risk you are taking

These people are scammers of the worst type. They will steal your identity and as much money as they can, using bank details stored on your computer. They will also load malware into your machine and unknown to you operate your computer by remote control to commit further illegal activities. This number is used by asian and indian crooks. "Elizabeth Bell" in the comments above is the alias of one of their operators. For further information just google "Teamviewer scam"
Hope this helps.

I have been getting this call from Stella Jones as well. My misus told her i when i will be home. she made quite an effort to contact me. Anyway she told me to look in the applications folder and check the red and yellow flags. They said it will my computer slower and eventually crash. To my knowlledge its only an events log files. Shouldnt do any harm. i told her to give me the name of her organisation and contact details. she was quite persistent to remove this files for no cost since they were providing technical support on behalf of microsoft. Looks like i did the right thing by doing a bit of research. Who Provides Free Lunches these days.

Just had a call from Ron @ Mytechonline - Windows Servicing Department. He had me open up a file on my computer and showed me these warnings & errors, telling me that this is infecting my PC and that is why is it slow in responding. To fix the problem, I had to complete an application and make a payment instantly, but when he quoted me the prices he failed to advise me that it wasn't in Aust $ until I brought it to his attention. I also questioned the cheaper deals but he said it was for pensioners (not by the website it isn't).  I told him that I would read the full details on the website, investigating and before making any payment, thus leading me to this page. My son was in the back ground the whole time saying it's a scam and to beware.

I have had many calls from people claiming I have one problem or another with my computer and I always ask them for their name, phone number and business name. Usually they hang up before I get all this info as they obviously realise I'm a waste of time as they wont get anything from me, but the gent from mytech online was different. Even after I told him he would go to hell for stealing, lying and cheating, he still tried to convince me he was legitimate..lol. He gave me the name Ashton (although he certainly didn't sound like an 'Ashton')
and the phone number he gave was (02) 8891 5001. Dont know if they have more than one line, if they changed their phone number or he forgot the right number.

Looks like this scam is still going, I got  a call today from so caalled windows support tech telling me that I have an inbound Internet virus. When I questioned her about it and asked how I could be sure she was from windows she gave me the (02) 8001 5001 phone number and told me it was the head office and they could verify that she was legitimate . I did not call this number but called Microsoft instead and they told me Microsoft do not call people in regards to tech problems on the phone and that this was a scam, so I gave all the details to person at Microsoft and he told me he would report it and not to allow anyone remote access to my computer. Much to my surprise I did not hear back from windows support the scammer.!!!!!! So don't  be sucked in by anyone claiming that you have a problem with your computer especially if you have not had any error messages from your anti virus software which will block any so called problem anyway.
Good luck everyone.

Phoned my mother saying they would check her computer for visuses associated with windows programs.
