I just got a call from Pamela. Wow she is persistent i nearly fell for it. She would do any thing to sell me the deal of joining ACCOR and get free accomdation and 50% off everything holiday related. I feel a bit stupid i am glad that while i was on the phone i googled her number she was calling off and asked her name. I hope no else falls for it!

yes i too had these people ring and told me to check my computer as it was about to crash .They said that they were calling all windows users . They asked me to click start then click my computer etc and they were so concerned about my computer that i also got put onto the lady supervisor who introduced hersellf as Jenny.They gave the phone number (08) 7200 0365 to me as i said i would need to ring back and the company name as 365 PC Support , they also called themselves Windows Global Support. When i didn't ring back they rang me again and i said that i couldn't sort this right now so she hung up on me , previous to this i have had many hang up phone calls over the past two weeks.

Same story today. my wife got the call. very urgent, just follow the instructions. they show you the event viewer which shows a number of alerts - of course there are always alerts of some type or another in the event viewer! this is normal. Steve Wilson was the man's name - same phone number and his supervisor was Albert Wilson. who would guess - two indian sounding gents, and they are brothers to boot. avoid like the plague.

Similar story happened to me. An Indian-accented guy confused my Mum (who's not that computer savvy) so she put me on, and he started rambling about how there might be infections on my computer (through some holes in the Windows Operating System). I was pretty resistant to the idea, as they were cold calling me at 8.30pm, but thought I'd see it through. He took me to the My Computer window, and then into computer management - I made sure I was off-line while speaking with him. As I started scrolling down Event Viewer - Application box he asked me to count how many warning signs were appearing. Every time I told him a new number he kept exclaiming Oh God as if something terrible was happening. It made me extremely suspicious as I doubt any true / real employee of Windows/Microsoft would try to scare a customer that way. Then I started questioning his intentions & why these huge massive problems were not in the media. He immediately transferred me to his "supervisor" - also an Indian-accented guy who explained that Windows/Microsoft did not want to scare customers which I again thought was an odd theory. I sat through about 5 more minutes of theorising before requesting a contact phone number because the whole thing felt odd. We hung up & then I right clicked one of the warnings in the event history which told me it was merely a logging off error. Then I found this site - so going to trust my instincts from now on!

Same call today. As I am a PC tech who has clients who have been scammed by these types of calls, I was quite interested to listen to the spiel.
There was no real onformation in the call just lots of words malware, viruses, windows etc. When they stated that these things "couldn't be removed" I asked "well how can you remove them then?" they replied "because we are technicians", to which I had a little chuckle. I had to leave so I got their number to call them back.
I might call them back at get their logmein account info if I can and report them to logmein, maybe they will shutthem down?
There must be somewhere this can be reported to. The number 087200365 is an Australian PSTN number, it may be redirected O/S, but surely it can be shutdown from this end.
