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.

I just had the same phone call and told the Indian woman that she was telling me a load of old rot.  I have the pro version of Kaspersky on my computer and if there were corrupted files it would show up without a problem.  These calls are aimed at the vulnerable web user in the hope they will pay for some crappy cleaner, or worse still so that they can put some nasty tracking cookie onto your computer.  I asked the caller to tell me who she was working for and she hung up.  It's a scam.

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...

Hi, I got this same call today - I new it was a scam & bluff him by saying I did not have a computer at home & we use company computers. I asked for a local number and I got 8091 5005 which cannot be connected - Do not give them any details

Called with an african accent wanting to fix corrupted files.
