I had a call from this number today. The caller said he was a technician from Irecure and he could fix our computer problems (namely Windows problems). Is this a legit company? I felt that it was a scam and asked for the phone number and told him we would call back if necessary. It isn't necessary as we have no problems with our computers. Irecure does have a web presence at www.irecure.wordpress.com. Of course this does not mean they are a legitimate company.

I have had 8 calls from these people so far, work/home/mobile all saying the same thing as above, I work for a large IT company from home and they are telling me one of the servers on the LAn is "having errors"

Very interesting as my "LAN" consists of ONE pc, ONE router ONE adsl modem

Received a call from a lady stating the company's name is IRECURE. Told me my computer is infected and has problems and is causing problems. Wanted me to type in commands to my computer. I told her my computer is fine and she argued. I got company's phone number and told her they are scammers and hung up.

given as a number by a scammer from india (assumed)

for details of scam, google EVENTVWR, and hit the first link, or just read on google and get the gist.

Scam. Caller apparently named "David" from Microsoft. Says there are problems with the PC.

Obviously dodgy!

This was the return 'number' given to a customer of mine from persons pretending to be from Microsoft, with an urgent risk to his PC, he just needs to goto a site and run this patch.
the line rings once then ends.
dodgy bastards.

Got two calls from Global Tech Company on (02) 8003 4343 by a man called Peter Jones telling me I have a virus on my Microsoft computer. Liars! I dont even own a computer with Windows. Do not give these people anything! This is a massive scam all over Australia. Simply hang up or tell them you know its a scam!

just got called this morning 07:15 by a Asian sounding man proclaiming he was calling from Microsoft and that i had a serious virus infection on my computer that would crash my 'hard-drives''... immediately if i did not follow his instructions... I said my computer was not at this location and he seemed confused insisting that he was calling from Microsoft and i needed to log onto my computer asap he knew my name and phone number and my address... he said his name was Kumar, the call must have been from overseas... and he spoke English (with Indian accent) to me even tho we are living in Scandinavia.. :S my son told him to piss off and told me it was a scam.  should i be worried? anyone else living in Sweden got this call?

I've had so called Global Tech people ring me 3 times in the last few weeks claiming there were viruses detected in the local area which could effect my computer!! The first time I told the lady (who was obviously Indian) that I wasn't that stupid and knew it was a scam and then hung up! Thinking I'd sorted them out and wouldn't have to worry about calls again...hmm...not the case. So last week when they rang again I thought I'd play the game - she asked to speak to the person who operates the computer in my household - after listening to her crap I said I actually didn't own a computer. She then hung up on me! Well they struck again today - tell you what over being harassed by cold callers and let along ones from overseas! So much for the do not call register!! So once again claiming to be from Global Tech she proceeded to tell me that I had viruses on my computer. I proceeded to tell her I was over being harassed by them and that I knew it was a scam - needless to say I didn't get to say anything else before they hung up on me! So if they were a real business they'd have to listen to what I said...not as simple as hanging up! Do these scammers not google to see people know about their stupid antics!!! Let's hope they don't ring back again - otherwise think I won't hold back!Some people really are stupid if they keep ringing the same people!! Get a life I say!

Called to say his from Windows my computer is affected but a serious virus. His name was Alex gave me his number and told me to turn on my computer, I hung up.

Same Scam except the company referred to themselves as Irecure "Janiel" (Indian voice) got rather stroppy when I kept asking where he got my details from.Note these guys had my name, phone and address details - probably from whitepages.would recommend anyone affect report this to http://www.scamwatch.gov.au/

Got a call from this number saying that i had downloaded malicious software that was gradually destroying my computer.  When I said that I wasn't sure that it wasn't a scam, could I please get his name and number, he gave me (02) 8003 4343 and said he was from Global Tech.  I am not sure what he actually wanted me to do, I kept asking was he trying to sell me something, that I wasn't sure what he was trying to tell me.  He then "transferred" me to the technical support department, and a fellow who sounded exactly the same then spoke to me, telling me basically the same thing.  I asked could I please get his name, that I would speak to a friend who worked in IT to confirm that it wasn't a scam, and I would call him back but then he hung up on me.
