Received three calls in the space of a week from this phone number. Each time I answer the caller hangs up. Annoying!

I also received a call from a woman with an indian accent saying she called from 'global computer maintenance department for windows'. I went through the same process of being told that my computer is slow because of the viruses that are not detected by my anti virus software and was asked to update my package for £114 for 2 years or £165 for life time support to fix my system. I was also asked to allow 'log me in 123' to let their technician have access to fix this. I asked them to call me back, no number recall, but the number given to me is in London 0208 129 3275. The person is very persistant to get me to buy the support. Looks like a lucky escape for me!

Just received a call from the same mob. My phone is already on the Do Not Call list but it obviously doesn't make any difference. I too would like to know how to report these people as I am concerned for those who are not as aware of the harm they can do. The call I received today was from THE computer maintenance department but she soon got tired of my asking who she was and hung up.Don't give these people the chance to get into your computer. Hang up immediately.

My mate got this call over the last couple of days, not twice but thrice. Indian accent, he got cranky when the old mate started questioning him. My mate is gay and told him that the only type of sites that he could have got any suss computer content from were the Gay Dating sites he frequents. The Indian dude did not understand what the term gay meant and thats when my mate got suss. I nearly pissed myself laughing. Didnt stop him from ringing my mate back twice.

My mother was called by this mob today too. Luckily her laptop was actually at my place so she couldn't do as they asked. She said they were from Microsoft and they had offered to fix her PC. She also said they sounded very professional and she was going to do as they asked. This number is the number they gave if she wanted to call them.
I would suggest checking this link out if you've been rung by these people: http://www.police.qld.gov.au/News+and+Alerts/ ... crosoftscam.htm

I just got off the phone with "Sierra" and "Andre" for Global Management Department aka 24/7 BC Care and they were part of Microsoft. The number was blocked. I played along with them long enough to understand what they wanted which was enough information to compromise my PC. I told "Sierra" I thought she was phishing and hung up. She called back and wanted to know why I hung up. I told her that I was certain this was phishing and I would report this as soon as our call ended. Which it did. She hung up.
Just a thought. Does anyone believe Microsoft monitors the gazillion number of computers out there that use their software? If there was a "problem" would Microsoft offer to fix it?

I also got the call tonight. Once I threatened to report them to Consumer Affairs the lady hung up.
