If you get a call from "Software Support 4 PC" don't waste your time, just hang up - obvilously a scam. Tonight I got a call from "Andrew" an Indian consultant based in "central Sydney" claiming my PC was infected with a virus and that their company had been receiving error messages from my computer all day. He also said my security/anti virus software was not working due to the same problem and that their company "Software Support 4 PC" would generously offer to fix the problem for free by logging onto their website and then allowing them remote access to complete the repairs........I knew something was up and would never allow remote access to my PC but I was curious to know who I was dealing with so played along with him by requesting more detail about the company. He gave me the phone number and website address and said he'd call back in 5 mins. He also said that if it was a scam then why would he be spending so much time talking to me?In the meantime, I found their website and also this forum.Upon his return call, I led him along some more and then asked him to explain the feedback I've read here. As I read out one of the posts, he duly hung up. So much for the wonderful service he was offering!!If you get the same call, don't waste your time, just hang up....unless of course you want to have some fun and play around with them :)
thank god for forums
My partner got a call today asking for me. She told them that I was at work and they responded by saying that I had phoned them asking for pc help. They left a return phone number. Then we googled the phone number and up came the forums. Thanks for the info guys, it's great that we can find out others have had the same phone calls and what resulted. It just makes me so mad.

"Linda Wilson", You also sound like a shill for support4urpc. Are you sure you aren't related to "Suzan Jones"? ANYBODY who falls for support4urpc is a sucker and is being scammed.

Got the same phonecall today, as you all, she said i had errors, and my firewall was broken, what a stupid b***h, I know my PC inside-out and im a avid computer tech. She insisted that I install Teamviewer which is a program that can give them remote access to my PC. I told her to f**k off. Five seconds later the phone call was cut off, guess she hung up lol...

These pricks got me on the weekend. I dont usually get sucked into this stuff but because of my limited computer knowledge and how convincing they were, I went along with them. They directed me to the so called infected files and trojan horse viruses and then off to teamviewer,,,,,, bastards got in. They got $200 and card details. I cancelled credit card and turned off computer and router within 5 minutes of the "" fixing"" my computer because i had a call from a mate within 2 minutes of hanging up from them saying he got dne too. their ph numbers are (02) 8003 5916 and (02) 8005 1832. The prick i dealt with was sam. never never talk to anyone about these things if you get called. I have learnt and hopefully convince others of this scam
