Scammers pretending to be from Windows Technical Centre. They will act like wanting to help you fix the virus on your computer (when there is nothing wrong with your computer), but are actually trying to get you to pay for something you don't need. They go by names like Suzie Smith, Glen ...etc while they speak with a slight Indian accent.

Ha ha, some of these posts saying microsystemtech are ok, clearly are from the company itself, guys brush up on your english and you may seem more convincing. SCAM SCAM SCAM

Had a call yesterday from these guys, telling me all the same stuff as the previous posts, using scare tactics to get you to commit, even saying my local computer tech isn't good enough to fix what is wrong with my computer only they can. while he was trying to convince me to allow them access to my computer I searched them online and found the complaint and scam posts about them, when questioned about this, he said that person was a rouge employee who was ripping off customers but he now doesn't work there, I began laughing hysterically at his response and he became quiet agitated telling me my computer will crash because I didn't believe him. Beware of these guys, I'm not racist in any way but I now go by the motto, if they have an indian accent just hang up.

SCAM!
Fake antivirus scam, beware!
If you've fallen for it, contact your bank, explain it, and get them to reverse the transaction.

Hey all,

Just had a call from a dodgy company, as I'm an ICT Operations Manager, the alarm bells rang straight away..... however they had my personal details.. name, st address etc.. They said they were from the "Windows Service Center".

So I ran with it a bit out of curiosity, they got me to open "Event Viewer" and asked how many ERROR alerts I had (which were a few, but I know what these errors are), however they kept telling me these were from Internet Viruses. Then they got me to open "Windows\Inf" directory in Windows Explorer, and said they were all downloaded viruses.... Now I know they're bullsh*tting me, cause I know exactly what file types are stored there and why.

So I escalated the call to one of their managers, who still insisted there were problems.. I must admit they are persistent bastards.. Then they wanted me to go to www.logmein123.com and enter a 6 digit number, this is the point my ISP just happen to cut me off ;-) so I told them I lost Internet access while I secretly searched for details about them on the Internet. I laughed when they told me their technician could also fix my Internet connection from my Modem to my ISP... LOL.

Eventually I told them we had other things to do and demanded a recall number (which they wouldn't give to start with). The number was (02) 8006 0187, which after a quick search told me they were were listed as "MICROSYSTEMTECH" and also as "REMOTE TECH SOLUTIONS" working from Bengal in India.

This is definitely a scam, they ring and use scare tactics so you think you have PC problems and viruses, then they make you pay a service so they can fix it, but really there is nothing to fix.....

As stated, they are persistent bastards (they'll call you back, so just hang up or tell them to *^#$^% off).

My mother received a call, and luckily did not listen to the person.
It sounds like a SCAM!

Yep,
Was having trouble with these guys and fell for it. They took $115 and god knows how much personal info of my computer. Cancelled c'cards, changed details etc but pretty embarrased. Should have seen the writting on the wall. Hope the authorities take them to the cleaners!!

yes tis is scam..

no definatly its nt a scam coz they have helped me alot in fixing my computr problems

Just had this Steven guy call me, I came straight out and told him he was a scammer, didn't phase him, I then let him believe I was on the computer and he asked what I was seeing when I pressed the windows key & R key together, I got him to tell me what I was looking at -he became quite agitated that I would not co-operate and I finally told him I had no computer and he was a scammer, I hung up.Very dodgy, I know a few people that have had the same call here in QLD.

These guys called me and as I used to do some tech support I challenged him about how would he know what my PC was doing. I said you are either breaking the law or being unethical (poor example for India's credibility), anyway he got really flustered and hung up.  I regret that because then I got an angry one calling me straight back telling me what he was going to do to my family (jokes on him I don't have one). Anyway turns out ACCC are on them as is www.scamwatch.gov.au
Unfortunately they have preyed on my unwitting elderly mother and scammed $230 bucks out of her. we will report this to credit card company, that gives the scammers a big headache - VISA take national/international fraud seriously.
