Received three calls in the space of a week from this phone number. Each time I answer the caller hangs up. Annoying!

I got a private call from some Indian dude named Ricky today talking really quickly about how my computer has been infected with some virus as a result of surfing on the net. He knew my name and it so happened that he called the moment my internet access got disconnected. It was all too odd for me so I started questioning what company he was calling from (Global Computer from help desk department). I asked how he got my number and he said that the IP address alerted their organisation of my details the moment my computer was compromised.
Long story short, I refused to do what he asked on my computer and got him to give me this number: (03) 9016 0451 which is based out of Melbourne. After I hung up, I found this website. Funny how these clowns think they can fool people so easily. He is still waiting for my call. I am getting my husband to call him and threatened him so that I will never have to hear from them again.

Another in a long line, obviously. The caller actually knew my mother's last name (my father passed away last August) - now his name is no longer on the phone (mistake #1), mine is on the isp account (mistake #2), wouldn't give me their company name and just kept repeating the same thing...turn on your computer so I can fix it. Well, while I didn't say it, I was tempted "over my dead body" - a little extreme I realize...After telling him I only allow my brother-in-law in the computer (twice), he finally hung up.

I have been getting calls from "my computer maintenance department" for about 7 months. at one stage it was up to 15 calls a day but since registering with the do not call register, it has decreased but not stopped. It is from different numbers so i think they are probably using a re-router.

I had the same call.After all the stuff about running event viewer to see all the viruses and malware I have got from accessing a russian cheat site (Windefender did warn me !) they wanted me to run logmein123 which would have given them access to all the data on my computer !!!!!!I ran a google on worldpctech.com scamThey went on about how if I google "my name scam" i will see lots of results so theirs is not a scamHaving been transferred 3 times to "more qualified engineers) who admitted he was calling from Pakistan we had a long conversation about the state of the Pakistan cricket team - that always gets them in and they are paying for the call.!Does the "do not call" register apply to overseas ? what could they do about it anyway.

My mother is also receiving multiple calls from the (02) 9037 2483 number -- claiming to be from "Computer Technical Support" in North Sydney. The guy calling has an Asian accent and calls himself 'Ryan'. He must work an afternoon shift, as he will always call late afternoon or evening.Again, he claims that my mother has 'computer problems' which can be easily 'fixed' if she downloads a particular file. Funny, but when I called him and ask where exactly he works (as I too, work in North Sydney) my call was suddenly terminated...Yes.. scam it is...
