When these people got to talk to me and they asked me to go to my computer and turn it on i just stayed where i was and just said that i was there and was following their instructions. Needless to say, they got a little frustrated when the computer wasnt doing what they wanted and they just hung up.

The "hang-ups" are obviously because they are ringing from a number of phones all at once and they pick up the first one that answers and hang up on the rest. I have had a few of these calls that hang up but with the ones that have someone on the other end, I string them along for a while pretending to be stupid and about 4 or 5 minutes into the conversation they ask if I am in front of my computer, so they can help me fix it and that is when I tell them, it is in the shop being fixed for the very reason they are calling. That is when they usually give up and hang up, quite rudely. Clearly, if you don't have what they want, they give up. As one cannot physically get a hold of these thieves, then they only deserve the lies thrown back at them. Hopefully they will waste enough money on phone calls to realise it is no use for them to call again???????

I get calls from them every one or to weeks,you would think they would give up.

Pushy and asking about computer, very much a scam.

Had a phone call that came up on caller ID as (02) 8002 4760 telling me that they were from Quantum PC Support and that our computers where show red & yellow flags. They asked me to write down (03) 9999 7448 and ring that number to verify & also look up the website www.scamwatch.gov.au and could not see anything. Thankfully I checked a little further and will not be trusting these guys.

Same deal as above.
Thank you Peter for your comprehensive and informative post above. I salute you sir.
These scamming crettins are as prolific as the proverbial dog poo or cigarette butt on your suburban footpath.
Come on Telstra, we do not pay you a monthly line hire fee for this type of constant assault by these privacy rapists. Its about time you put something in place to stop these filth from using your exchanges.

This ladys name was Michele said we had a virus on our computer. We don't fall for this ruubish, I hope no one else does. They're the virus.

Wish they'd buggar off & leave me alone... 3 calls noone there, Saturday afternoon trying to have a family birthday party for the grandmothers both turning 60 for god sake.

Just got a hang up call from this number at the veterinary clinic where I work, I remember talking to someone from this number 3 months ago, I led them for a minute before I told them that I know they are Scamers and hung up

Two calls in two days and both times they hung up.

Spamming pain in the asses!

Just had another call from these scammers!!
He said that there was some one on my computer downloading viruses and would I allow him into my computer.
Two problems with this scenerio;
1st As I type I am 1400 ks from home
2nd When the call came through I had not even opened the lap top, which I am using at the present time.
One has to wonder how many people these scum have scammed...

A nusicane when you answer they just hang up.
Must cost them a fortune in answered calls.
Still it's their $$$$ not mine.

Getting sick of answering this number and no one is there. 5 calls in under an hour.

there are just to many ongoing crap calls from this No:and have even told them that the last owners moved out how many times will my number get passed around by the scamers until they get the hint that they don't live here and own a mac .

Have just found out they are Indian scammers trading as Quantum PC Support. Don't let them access your PC under any circumstances.

Same here. Getting a phone call every day. Maybe they are getting paid for the number of calls they dial as no one there answers & only get beep, beep, beep when phoned back. So rude!

Call every day sometimes 2 or 3 times and hang up when I answer never leave a message and can't call the number back

Very rude, asked for prevoius owner of home phone number and hung up as soon as I said that it was no longer their number.

Ongoing phone calls with no messages etc
