I just received a phone call from "Harry" who said he's from the "Help Desk of Windows Operating System". He said his company is working on behalf of Windows Operating System calling people whose computers Windows has identified as having problem software that needs to be corrected. He wanted me to sit in front of the computer so he could guide me through the process. When I questioned him (being very suspicious) he quoted me an IP address, which doesn't match mine. When I persisted with questioning, he said i could call him back on (02) 8006 1421 at his office at 173 sussex St sydney. I don't believe a word of it. Not sure exactly what the scam is, but it's most certainly a scam.

I received a call from the number (02) 8006 1421 from Kashif Brown claiming to fix my spyware problem. Told me to give him the windows version, i was really suspicious and kept the phone

i just got the same call, i rang windows while on the ph to them and it's a scam, i think we all ring them and keep ring them to piss them off

yeh guys i got the same call twice in the same day. I questioned him every step of the way and all his responses were scripted. Dont trust anything they say and dont waste your time talking to them.

My woman was named Pamala Watson with a thick indian accent.. she got so frustrated with my questions that she told me to .. quote.. 'go to hell' before she hung up on me!!
It was about 'bugs' in my computer... ugh!

Had the same experience. Two calls this week (I hung up on the first, as his accent was so thick I couldn't understand him and the ambient noise behind him was so loud). They persisted and called back tonight - same scenario as described above.
I was told I need to pay for 1 years protection $109, 2 years $280 and "lifetime" protection, $300+. I refused to pay on the spot in this manner, with nothing in writing etc, and asked for yet more verification that they were who they claimed to be, and was given this phone number to contact also. The senior technician I spoke with was Peter Parker (as if the whole thing wasn't sus enough!)
