Called this number as it said it belonged to Microsoft Windows when my laptop was compromised last Wednesday when I had clicked to read an article on Facebook. The guy at the end of this number managed to gain access to my laptop and then proceeded to ask for $4000 to be transferred via Western Union to someone in Vietnam. I made an excuse and cut the call. I was then called over a dozen times from various mobile numbers. My laptop is now with an IT Technician who is disabling any threats and viruses that was installed when I clicked on the article. Beware of this number but I think the Australian Government needs to take responsibility and action against these Australian free call numbers being used by scammers!
