Same as above - scam call from "Alex" with an indian accent - overseas number - who tried to get me to sit in front of my computer claiming I had a virus in my "Internet Routers" (LOL)

What a pack of clowns - I really hope nobody falls for this.

When I pushed him on it he gave me a number 1800 427765 - I said I'd call them back.

Is there any way of tracking these people down and stopping them???

This is very aggressive and potentially harmful behavior from someone who has no business calling me.

had a call from someone called Jack. Indian Accent. Said he was from Windows desk help-part of Windows Corporation citing my computer is infected by scam and viruses. I questioned him further and he hung up. He said he is based in 1 epping rd NSW 1112. phone number: 1800 427 765. I then called this number and spoke to someone by the name of Sam. Indian Accent. He said they are Windows Help desk help but not part of Windows Corp. gave me address: 122 Vaker St NSW. He also hung up when I tried to get more info. Clear Scam.

Just received a call from this number claiming that my computer had some sort of virus, knew something was fishy from the sound of his tone and loud noises in the background. He asked me to go in front of my computer and do a few things, however I explained that there hasn't been a comp at this address for years (i was obviously testing him) , he then got confused and hung up.

Absolute ridiculous, I hope others do not fall for this trap.

I received a call from Kurt Hemming from Windows Support Centre. He walked me through Eventvwr and msinfo. Harmless at this stage. then he wanted me to go into internet explorer and type into the command line www.boot.usa.cc. I naturally refused. I asked for contact details. These were given as Kurt Hemings Employ No KH8011 and provide a phone number 1800427765. when I googled the number and started to read out the complaints "Kurt" hung-up. Clear Scam

I just had a call from someone supposedly from Microsoft support that gave me this number to call back on (I had another phone call to answer). His apparent name was Edward Rogers, ID: 1017.

Last evening Wednesday 9th about 11pm I received a call from some person in California asking me to go to my computer immediately. Unfortunately I couldnt hear him clearly and on top of that I had a job to understand what he was saying. He did give me this number. The previous two evenings I had similar calls from India. What is microsoft doing about this?

I just got a call form this number. I pretended to go along with their instructions whilst asking the name of the company? Windows Help and Support and apparently their offices are in Melbourne and Sydney. The indian guy with a English/American sounding name told he did not have the actual addresses. I told him that since I have kept him on the phone long enough - the police are now able to trace his call and if he is involved in any criminal activity, he may face possible charges. he kept his cool and asked me to wait while he finds the address - he hung up on me. Australians need to be protected from these annoying nightly calls!! what is being done about it?

Just thought I would let you know had a call from "WINDOWS SUPPORT CENTER" Kurt Hemming was the guy,phoned to verify that he worked there with his employer code. They knew my address and name. Was asked to go into "event viewer and System information", informed that there were a lot of faults with my computer and he would have to pass this to someone higher up the food chain than himself. When i phoned to verify his details i asked if it was a Microsoft Company, NO was the response. Informed them not to phone again at witch point the just hung up the phone. Be warned!!

Same as most comments, Wouldn't tell where they were in Sydney. etc. Only thing a little different was they had part of my name and correct street address?? ... But still the same old scammers needing for us to do what they tell us.. What are the Telcos doing??? who owns the 1800 number???

Just got a call from this number from Alex Miller with a very Indian accent wanting to access my computer as it was sending error messages. He said he was calling from Microsoft Windows Helpdesk and gave me my computer CLSI code. This is a complete hoax. The scam is to take over your computer and ransom it back to you.

I had a private number call from these people, I asked who they were they said they are from
Windows help and support centre
Located in NSW Australia

Phoning regarding error messages I have had on my computer and major virus messages. He said his name is Peter Watson, he said he is calling from 1800 427 765. He said he is from INDIA... you could hear a heap of people in a call centre behind him, loads of people it sounded like. I had no idea what they were talking about and so they passed me about in house, and I was not going to participate in whatever they wanted me to do. So they later told me, I have to hang up the phone as they can not disconnect the call.

They would not give me a location in NSW... are they serious?

Do indian's get standard names like Peter and last names Watson? I dunno, and I said I had 3 computers online in the past 3 weeks they said all computers would get the issue as its the same internet connect... are they for real. Regardless I didn't co-operate, man what frequency am I vibrating on to come into contact with them, better lift it!

I had a call from this number and told them to get stuffed and so they kept calling so in the end I played the game and got this 1800 number and now the best part is that I work night shift and keep calling the number all night and waking them up and when I call from a pay phone (which is free to call from) it costs them. Time to play the game back.

New South Wales - just got a call from an Indian gentleman claiming to be from the Windows Help Desk - wanted me to sit at my pc and troubleshoot and clean it up with him on the other end of the phone. I said I had never dealt with him before so didn't understand why he would be calling me.. I then spoke to his 'Manager' who tried to convince me this was a genuine call. Eventually I said I would call him to authenticicate the call and he gave me this number. A web search tells me this scam has been around a long time

These guys have been calling almost every night despite the fact I have asked them to stop calling. I am sick of being harassed by these people.

The game is to keep them on the phone as long as possible. Takes time to boot the computer and then you can't find the program that shows the errors etc. Put down the phone while you make coffee etc...

Just received a call from Sarah Watson (with a heavy Indian accent) at Windows Help Desk. She claimed my computer was infected with a virus and they needed to help me fix it by allowing them to connect to my P.C. This was the number she provided for me to call them back on.

Had a few calls from "Windows Help Centre" in regards to alleged "hackings" and "viruses" on my computer and I was put on to a tech guy by the name of "Alex" who asked for payments after running the program asking for my email. I got suss. I kept asking where are their location, they said "Sydney", I asked where in Sydney he refused to answer. I hope authorities track these guys down!!!!

'Steve' has a strong Indian accent. Claimed to be from Windows. I asked 'Is that a company?' He said yes. I called him a scammer and hung up. HE CALLED ME BACK and said he was disgusted. LOL. He gave me this number to call back but when I googled it, it only showed up on phone number alert web sites. How odd! NOT!

Person claiming to be 'Steve Watson' saying that our computer had a problem. Claimed to work 'Windows Vafed'. Gave the 1800 number when asked for his employee number. We've had around two calls a week from them but this is first time we sked for detais. Other people we know getting these calls have been told they work for Microsoft. The person totally denied it was a scam! Usually they just hang up.

A person with an Indian accent is calling and asking to get access to our PC. I think he is running a phishing scam.
