LOLOLOL the indian lady called back again today, and they rang about 7 times, and when i said, i wasn't interested in your product, they said bye, and a few minutes later, the manager "Ryan Smith" started saying, oh but you wanted to buy it yesterday, and after I'd said, I'd taken it to a professional he started asking "Why, when I told you we could fix it?" and frankly, just got upset because clearly, he wouldn't be able to make any money off me.

Got a similar call 30 October around 18.30 EST from an Indian male with same concern and he gave his telephone number (02) 8006 1200.He hung up rapidly when I said I'd call him back.Another slimmy individual who should be locked away.

just had a call myself....told them i would not turn on my comp as there had ben too many scams operating on ths basis, and would not do anything unless i recieved written confirmation from microsoft with a number i could call for assistance. The Indian lady gave me this no: (02) 8006 1059 and said the company was Blue Tech Support. I have serious doubts. They are still out there trying tho! Is there anyone we can report this to?

This is definitely a SCAM. Don't do what they ask under any circumstances. What they want you to do is open your computer & they will take you to somewhere that shows lots of errors, then they will offer to fix the "errors" for a fee which involves giving them your credit details and other personal information. They will then use that information to gain access to bank accounts etc. Google search and you will find heaps of forums on this. Microsoft are aware of this but can do nothing. The scammers lose interest when you tell them you don't have a computer or you run Apple or better still you are just the burglar who happened to answer the phone. Good luck.
