Wife received a call from this number today. Foreign sounding person asked did we want to continue with Netflix, which was attached to our Amazon account. Funny thing is we don’t have an account with either ?... The person said they would refund us $39.95 if we wished to terminate our Netflix account, Wife ended phone call lol

1800 431 449 : Re-routed numbers to a nasty and sophisticated call centre based in India that pretends to be working as or for Microsoft support team.( Apple computers are an easy target). They are FAKE, FAKE, FAKE. Those scums are installing malwares and viruses from popups or with bundles software as Adobe Flash. More importantly, Adult sites are 98% to be found as their favourite way of passing their viruses. Your internet browser suddenly freeze and your computer is being frozen. Best way is to shut your computer down ( by pressing power button for 20-30 to seconds ...or, Press ESC continuously for 10-15 seconds ...or to make sure, unplug Your computer). Fear and stress will take over with messages saying that your computer has had a virus attack. Restart with a clean browser cache and a run of a antivirus if you have one. Talk to someone (to your local computer guy) if you are not reassured or still in distress.This is a free phone call number, that’s targeting Australian audience. Note that nothing has changed in your computer system but check if some extensions had been added to your browser.If you do a lot of surfing the net, always run Task Manager that can stop any further damage. Do not let those curry scumbags win.
CALL YOUR BANK, CANCEL YOUR TRANSACTION.

Same thing happened to my husband this morning - he called this number and was told there is a virus and to pay $200 + to get it fixed. Now cannot log in. When the computer is turned on there is a recorded message saying "Critical Alert from Microsoft..........computer will be disabled. Error code 268D3.
