Yeah, Just had a phone call from so called "vick Martin" from one stop computer fix call back number (03) 9008 0256 claiming that someone in victoria was hacking my computer after I hung up on him he rang back instantly 4 times after saying they are a partner company of Microsoft I rang them and they have never heard of the company, what scammers!

Caller: Don’t know

I didn’t recognise the number so let it go to message. The message was a digital Recorded voice with an American accent Saying conference call.

Yes i have too been a victim of these fake phone calls. I must say they are very persistent. The calls were made from both female and males. Every time they rang, i hassled them with questions that they could not answer, in which they hung up the phone on me. About 2 weeks ago I received 2 phone calls from them in one day. The first phone call i actually managed to play along in their scripted dialogue. The callers name was Vic Martin, calling from Melbourne and the head office was in Sydney. He gave me his call back number (03) 9008 4256. He said there was a virus from some hacker in Victoria, through my microsoft.....etc. I told my sister about this phone call, 5mins later another phone call from the so called Australian Tech Support Team rang, saying the same thing all over again...lol. Of course we knew this was a scam and it was time we tried to call them. Our phone call was answered and we wanted to speak to the manager, a man named Andy. We asked Andy to have our number removed from their system. That was too easy. Til the phone rang again, and Andy was at the other end selling us his Scam! Oh dear...I had to stop him in his tracks and tell him that we just rung him. From that last phone call, we have not had anyone annoy us. Im sure this is not the end...

I am in the Inner West of Sydney and I just got a call from a man (with an Indian accent) said his name was Mike. He said that he was calling from a company called One stop computer fix, employed by Microsoft windows. He said that he was getting error reports from our Internet line for the past 7 days and that someone was using it from North Victoria. He said, we must stop the unauthorised access and the hacker could be downloading trojan viruses right now. He asked if we knew anyone in Vic. He wanted me to follow his directions and he would block the access. Go to the start button and then do something to log onto his server.

I told him that I wasn't the owner of the computer and he gave me a phone number to ring him back on ph: (03) 9008 4256 . I asked him how I would know he was legitimate and he said that was a good question. He gave me the website address of the company, so I could check it out (I didn't click on the website, but I googled it and it was there) www.onestopcomputerfix.com He also volunteered his employee ID MPE 00150. He said that the company was based in Sydney, and the customer service in Melbourne.

I told him, that I would get someone to ring him back. I asked him for his last name and he said it was Johnson. Now, Mike Johnson doesn't sound like an Indian name to me.

He was so convincing. He also knew the name listed in the white pages of the telephone account holder. Please be very careful. I didn't do what he wanted, cause giving him remote access to my computer or logging into his server just didn't sit right with me. But I must say, he was very convincing. I googled the company and phone number and it's popped up as a scam and the Dept of Fair trading has released a media release on 7 Oct 2011 that this is happening to many Inner West residents of Sydney. I have a feeling he will ring back and ring many more people.

A foreign sounding man claiming to be Sam Austin from Aust Tech Support Dept for Microsoft Windows phoned and stated my computer was infected and would crash within 2 hours if I did not let him fix it. He gave this ph number to call him back. He claimed to be in Melbourne but phone showed it as an Overseas call. He claimed to be using a call centre. I hung up on him.

some little indian prick who couldnt speak english called me and kept wanting me to get in front of computer stating i had a problem and someone had hacked my computer. Hes a scammer!

I too had the same call as the above man. Dodgy as all..

This number is listed on the Website - www.powersavers.com - They called soemone i know and sold them a "Power Saving Device" for $159. Dodgy!

Claiming to offer tech support on behalf of bigpond (Aussie internet provider)
Im well aware of their scams, such as the virtual pc doctor type stuff.

reported to scamwatch.gov.au, police, media.

Also had a call from
(03) 9008 4256
posing as Microsoft technicians.
They hung up when I said I would report the call but not before I managed to find out their number!!

I got the same problem, but then my computer actually got hacked. 100% hacked. A window came up and said. "your computer has been hacked", "you should have brought security". I'm not joking. Then everything closed and I got BSOD

Go a call from this number today, they said they are from "powersaver" wanted to confirm my card deails I had been awared, on behalf or my power co and gatget bla bla bl scam scam

As a follow up I received a call at 6.40pm last night(13.09) - I firstly asked how they got my phone no given it is a silent unlisted no - they could not answer - then they said they were in Sydney and did i know anyone in victoria - Isaid seeing as you know everything you should know i am based in victoria and your no is a melb no - Mike said no no no we are in sydney. I told him he was a scammer and to get off the phone and nt ring again. He rang back 4 times and despite my screaming at him he continued to insist he was calling on behalf of microsoft. Finally my husband threatened him with the police if he called us again - finally he rung up. THIS IS A BIG SCAM - DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY.

Got the same call from Adam Smith and Mike Johnson, telling me my computer is infected, they are from ASIC but they have the experts to stop it.Same number (03) 9008 4256 apparantly they are now in Melbourne.Funny they sound like they are phoning from Mumbai.
