Yep mytechonline is still at it. They have called me 5 or 6 times over the last year usually around 7pm at night. This time I led them down the garden path for a while while they went through the usual Event Viewer crap then I jumped on my soap box. I asked "Anna" (usually it was "Stella") why she was doing the wrong thing trying to control other people's PCs. She maintained she was doing nothing wrong of course. I then jumped a little higher up on the soap box and brought religion into it ;) she was Christian as it turns out and I gave her a little lecture on right and wrong. I said "Look everyone has got to make a living but there is a right way and a wrong way. Try to do the right thing." Admittedly, job options are probably not that great in Mumbai. She maintained she was doing no harm all the while so I bid her good night. Hopefully they will put a little mark against my number and not ring it again. They'll probably use my call for training purposes... ;)

A very rude and demanding asian sounding woman named Anna called twice. She didn't like to hear "no thank you" - needed to just hang up on her.

Received a phone call suggesting I check using My Computer then to Computer Management then to Event viewer then to Custom window log and then to List of information. If I had more than 5/6 Errors in red circles with white cross or yellow triange had major problems with my computer. Took no action but see others have had similar problems.

In reply to the person who gave his name as G. Anderson, sounds like he is one of these scamers defending himself.

received a call from (02) 8091 5001 from an Asian sounding lady who insisted that I had been hacked 180 times and she could talk me through fixing it, she obviously thought I was stupid. When I told her not interested she began aggressively screaming at me that I must do as she tells me or my computer will be worthless. I hung up she kept ringing back even after I blew a loud whistle in her ear, she eventually stopped.

hey george, have you ever tried to call microsoft for assistance? they are generally not very helpful, these guys are not authorised or linked to microsoft in any way. they may assist you to help your computer run nicely, but, anyone with a bit of computer knowledge can do that. they try to remotely connect to most customers computers, load virus' and then adv that you need to purchase a product from them to fix it and pay for 2 or 4 years of service. they have no LEGAL obligation to help you as they are not an australian company and do not abide by australian consumer law. the shop you bought your computer from could very easily make it run faster, hell, even doing a google search and paying no money will find you so many tips and programmes to help your computer faster. be very careful, once they gain access to your computer they have INSTANT access to your personal details, ie bank details, you do not actually realise the risk you are taking

These people are scammers of the worst type. They will steal your identity and as much money as they can, using bank details stored on your computer. They will also load malware into your machine and unknown to you operate your computer by remote control to commit further illegal activities. This number is used by asian and indian crooks. "Elizabeth Bell" in the comments above is the alias of one of their operators. For further information just google "Teamviewer scam" Hope this helps.

Hi AmyI run my own in-home computer/internet assistance business in Sydney and I have had two elderly people been fooled by this plan and have duped into paying $400 for an 81yr old gent, and $240 for an elderly lady. Both are from people that have their names somehow, and then say they have a virus on their computer and they will help remove it.Happy to provide you with more info if you like. iaskmark @ gmail.comCheers--Mark

Yep! They're still at it. All of the above: Same lines, same insistance, same offers to fix, repeated calls over a four week period. The contact number as shown above. Then, before I committed to anything I found this list of queries in a Google search that confirmed my suspicions.
The telephone room sounds extremely busy. Probably not from Sydney, all indian voices. Someone is serious about working this angle. Someone else (Australian Police) needs to get as serious to shut them down.
