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.

They have to take you number off their database if requested to do so. If they are going to call relentlessly we should email them until they take notice!
Not that dumb!
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!
