we got a call from them, on a weekend. He says he works for the computer service department. I asked which company, and he said "PC Full Support". google shows no company by that name. It sounds so dodgy.

I just got a call from a guy saying his name was Peter Jackson (the most anglo-saxon name for an obviously Indian national!), from PC Users, and that my computer has a virus. I didn't believe him. He said my computer had sent my personal information to their computer (WHAT??!!)... Does anyone know what the scam is?

I am from Sydney Aus, this same scam is running here too, and i'm ashamed to say I fell for it! All the details are the same....they are Asian/Indian sounding, but with Anglo Saxon names; They say my computer has viruses and has set off alarm bells at their "Windows help Desk". They wanted to dial into my computer via logmein123 Stupidly, I followed theire instructions, and even let them download some anti-virus software. I then followed the prompts to a creditcard gateway page and signed up for long term service.
this was on 30 June 2011. I have to say, there are 2 different antivirus and malware scans that run on a daily basis now on my computer, but they never seem to come up with any alarms or threats.
And, 2 days ago, the same guy called me (he uses the name MARK ROBERTS) and he asked me how my computer had been running, then went on to tell me that the credit card gateway company called PRISH PTY .COM had closed without forwarding on my payment to FULL PC SUPPORT.!!!!!
NOW I KNOW IT"S A SCAM, and I am very ashamed and worried that they will be able to access my computer again, and even use my CC details again. I will take my computer to a validated microsoft tech and have them totally go over my pc, and i will even go to the bank and ask to change my credit card number.
CANT BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN SO GULLIBLE!

I was asked to go on line so they could check my computer as there was a problem, then asked for my my details and date of birth, I am sick and tired of these Indian Telemarketers, I get about 6 to 10 calls a week. The last one was from Reclaim Express saying they had over charged me and I was due for a refund of $4251. How stupid are these people and why isn't our Government stopping them, I worry for the elderly folk who might get caught up in their scams.

No one called "Colin Bennett", would make the errors in english grammar made in the earlier comment. Clearly a scam.
Out of interest, and boredom, I followed the instructions of my helpful computer technician - whose name was "Ricky Martin" - until he asked for permission to connect to my computer...
