Same as above, except they called my mum today. My mum was spooked because they knew that we had our computer on, and that we had 57 errors for corrupt files. My mum let them onto the remote computer, and they showed the anti virus wasn't working. But when they asked for credit card details so they could fix it, mum shut the remote computer kicking them off. The guy was the supervisor, and his name was Max Dalton. He said that he was from the Windows Service System centre, and he had an indian accent. He said he was from Sydney, and gave my mum this number. He called back twice, even after my mum hung up. Luckily he wasn't on the computer long enough to give us any real damage because after we scanned the computer, we found that he had put 200 errors on the computer. They sound very knowledgeable, but do not be scammed! We nearly were, and that's scary.

My Dad called back, and went off at him, and we reported it. We also called Microsoft and Optus, and they told us it was a scam because they do not call you about errors on your computer. Just take it to your local technician, do not trust them! They had turned our antivirus off which is why we had gotten the errors.

I had a similer call from (02) 8091 5002 by someone called James Kasper. I was dumb to follow his instructions but didn's sign a registration form as he wanted me to.  I said had no time at the moment.
What do i do?  Could he have done something to my PC remotely.
HELP

mAX dAWSON (INDIAN ACCENT) RANG ME  yesterday wanting me to type EVENTVWR into the RUN program, so he could find out why 'windows' had been getting so many error messages from my computer, and that i had corrupted files, he ended up getting quite annoyed at me as I wouldn't do as he said, and kept asking him lots of questions. he said he was ringing from chatswood Sydney . i hung up

Just had a similar call.  I also had a call about a month ago and told the Indian sounding man that I no longer had a computer and he put the phone down on me.   Then about 15 minutes ago somebody phoned and wanted me to sit at my computer so he could explain why my files were being corrupted. I said I was busy but he pushed me for a time when I would be available.   I said Saturday PM but reading the other comments, I'll start to question him instead of the other way round.

My mother received a call from an indian person telling her that she had corrupt files on her computer and to do the same as the above callers.  She gave this telephone number.Luckily my mother did not believe the person right from the start, and we are reporting it to authorities.
