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.

Had a call from One Stop Computer Fix. Paul Johnson (with an Indian accent) Ph (03) 9008 4256. When I called this number to confirm who they were, there was initially no answer on the phone.They wanted to get into my computer, so being sceptical, I said no.They said I had been hacked into from Nothernern Victoria at 6.30pm last night and I would lose my computer hard drive within two hours. They wanted to gain access to my computer and for $100.00 they would give me support for nine years.WHen they rang back I told them that I had reported their phone number, their company to the Federal Police, and they said they don't give a S**T.This is a scam.Don't let them anywhere near your computer

Received a call from a guy claiming to be Andy Barker from Telstra. He claimed our computer had been hacked but their engineers were working on it and he could help us. He told us our address. He started asking questions like how many users we had. We started getting suspicious due to the questions and also the time of the call (6pm on a weeknight). When asked for ID he gave his employee ID 224058 and his phone number (03) 9008 4256. He gave us an address on Pacific Highway, but said the suburb was Garden.

A guy called Michael rang my old father and got him to do a check with some online program. He said there were 402 infections on his computer and that he needed to sign up for a computer maint program. He said he was from Optus and then Telstra. He is a fraudster. They try to get proxy use of the computer.
