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.

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.

I have been phoned several times, first time was a couple of weeks ago and I kept asking where he was from and he kept saying 'Microsoft Technical Support'. I only got my computer a few weeks prior but I figured I would need to call them if there was a problem so I figured it must be a scam. Especially considering his name was Daniel Jones when he clearly sounded like he was phoning me from an Indian call centre (and had a thick accent). I told him I didn't have a computer and he told me quite tersely to go and turn it on as it was a major fault. I just hung up.
I then received another call last night at 10pm also stating 'Microsoft Technical Support' and I said well you are working late it's 10pm! This time I didn't get a chance to say anything else, they hung up...

Someone called on this phone number asking me to do something to avoid virus entering my computer.She called me twice on my home line and claimed to be calling from Autodesk or Microsoft. This lady left her number and her name is Stella. Do you know if such calls are usual? Thanks.

This is a scam. Always report to scam watch or call police and or accc. These people will call knowing your name and offering tech support. My call was from Microsoft. Bu***hit, go hang yourself you low life scamming f***. Never ever give any details. In fact terminate the call asap. And report so more people know and don't get caught by these hackers.

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?
