I had 2 calls today from PC Masters who appear to be in Sydney. I am suspicious that somehow my earlier enquiry to NAB had something to do with this.

Add me to the lengthy list of 'victims' above.  I've just had the call (10.15, 20/05/2011) with the same overall message - "calling to alert you to problems on your computer"; "your computer will crash at any time"; "switch your computer on now". A chap, with an Asian accent, knew my name, telephone number and address. Eventually, he was very curt and put the phone down after I was (obviously) very suspicious and did not do what he wanted.  Scarey though .... and I wonder what would have happened if I had switched the computer on.  These people should be traced, tried and locked up (assuming guilty!)

I am getting one call every day from numbers like this.
Also 0441274925390   and 01274663293
The phone is always dead when I pick it up.....  and when I try to redial the number is not recognised.  This has only started in the last 3 weeks.
What goes on ?

Had a strange call from a lady with extremely bad broken English.  Claiming to be some sort of computer company.  She knew my name, and then asked whether I had a computer or PC.  I said yes and she then informed me that they had received an urgent message to say there was an urgent problem with my computer which needed urgent attention and could I go to my PC straight away!  I explained I was feeding my baby and wasn't able to do this, she reiterated that it was extremely important and my PC was at risk ... at which point I put the phone down.

Had same call today. Knew it was fraud from the start but played along. Asked him what operating system I had. He hesitated then said Windows Star. I informed him there was no such system and he cleared. Not only is it a scam, they are not even very knowledgable about the Windows systems. Next time they call I will tell them I have reported them to the police!

I keep getting calls from (02) 8005 7298 and the man claims he's from the windows team and my computer is at risk. he doesnt know my name but says the pc needs attention. i keep on getting calls from this number everydy. is ther any way you can block these calls?

I had this number call me several times, Oddly, the first few times they just stayed silent and hung up anyway. This afternoon They called and a foreign lady informed me my computer had faults, I played dumb to waste her time and said " oh dear I don't want faults" She asked me to turn it on. I said ok.
After several minutes she asked "is it on yet" I said "no its says syntax error rewind cassestte"
She said what kind of computer do you have? I said "spectrum plus 2" She hung up! :-)
