Received a call from Windows service centre (Indian accent) stating i have some corrupt told him I was feeding the kids but he insisted i turn on the computer and access some files as windows' had been getting so many error messages from my computer....he got angry when i said I didn't have time, then said he would call later...

Same as above but both were male n he said he was supervisor named James.

Same as above, except they called my mum today. My mum was spooked because they knew that we had our computer on, and that we had 57 errors for corrupt files. My mum let them onto the remote computer, and they showed the anti virus wasn't working. But when they asked for credit card details so they could fix it, mum shut the remote computer kicking them off. The guy was the supervisor, and his name was Max Dalton. He said that he was from the Windows Service System centre, and he had an indian accent. He said he was from Sydney, and gave my mum this number. He called back twice, even after my mum hung up. Luckily he wasn't on the computer long enough to give us any real damage because after we scanned the computer, we found that he had put 200 errors on the computer. They sound very knowledgeable, but do not be scammed! We nearly were, and that's scary.

My Dad called back, and went off at him, and we reported it. We also called Microsoft and Optus, and they told us it was a scam because they do not call you about errors on your computer. Just take it to your local technician, do not trust them! They had turned our antivirus off which is why we had gotten the errors.

My mother received a call from an indian person telling her that she had corrupt files on her computer and to do the same as the above callers.  She gave this telephone number.

Luckily my mother did not believe the person right from the start, and we are reporting it to authorities.
