IGNORE THESE PEOPLE - THEY ARE SCAMMERS!!!I got a similar call yesterday (in Sydney) from an Indian woman claiming to be from "Windows Support Centre". I had no intention of doing what she *told* me to do but I played along and asked her how I could check her credentials and she gave me this (02) 8006 0103 number. Then I did some checking and found this article in the Guardian UK, dated 18 July 2010 (!):http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jul/18/phone-scam-india-call-centres

My mum almost fell victim to these guys last night, she called me while I was out saying that a guy was on the phone telling her that her computer had viruses. I told her to tell the guy to call me and hang up. I got home and she showed me what they were guiding her to do.
I called this (02) 8006 0103 number which goes straight to a message bank, and left a message pretending I was concerned about my computer and asked them to call back. Sure enough they did and I played along to see what they do until they got to the point that I knew would give them access. I then gave the woman a thrashing on the phone (her name was Alina).
They ask you to go to www.support.me and put in a 6 digit code that they give you. This gives them access and my only assumption is that they either get you to buy some software, or while they are logged into your computer, they plant a file that feeds back information of what you are doing.
