hi ive been getting so many missed calls from this number 9191

Just got a call from the (02) 9191 6553 number stating that they were a company from windows, same story as above asking to accessng my computer giving me promts to open files ect: I remained suspicious the whole time and kept asking them where have you got my number from? They kept saying from your windows error messages. I kept writing everything down that they were telling me thinking this is so odd!  I think I was more concerned as to where they got my number from. Then as soon as they said that they would transfer the call so that all data and mal files could be removed for a small fee, I smelt a rat! I asked them to leave me their number and name which was said to be Brad Jones, then if I decided to continue I would call them back.

I just received a similar phone call from a lady with a heavy Indian accent who advised me that she was from a Microsoft Call Centre. I was given the spiel that there was a lot of junk and malicious downloads happening on my pc and that she would talk me through how to delete them, all I had to do was follow her advice. This sounded very suss, even to a person who is not very computer savvy! I asked her again to explain the problem and 1) advise where she got me phone number from? 2) how did she know what was happening to my personal computer? 3) where exactly was she calling from? 4) what is her supervisors name and can I speak to him/her? 5) what is her phone number so I can call back the centre any time at my leisure. The upshot was that she was taken aback by my questions and became very defensive. I have since called back the phone number I was give (02) 9191 6553) only to get a recorded message telling me that the mail box was full

My partner got a call from a man claiming to be Mason Jones, after talking to him for what seemed like ages, about how our computer was going to crash any moment, if we don't fix it. He claimed to be from Microsoft company.
Soon enough l found my partner on the computer typing in various things, they were requesting him to do. Strangly enough l was suspicious. It was 6.30pm and microsoft do not call so l thought it was a scam.
But my partner wasn't so sure either, he stayed on the line, he got put onto someone else claiming to be called Kevin Smith,
Got him to log onto  www.logmein123
which my partner did, but having firewall protection helped as they couldnot access our computer.
After failed attemps they suggested that we need to pay $219 so that they could fix the problems on our computer, if it don't want it to crash.

My partner was very sly  at this moment and said, well the bloody thing can crash, l don't care, I'd rather go back to no computer. There is no way i'm paying money to you. How do l know if you are who you say you are.
then he rattled off an address 1 Epping Road, North Ryde, NSW 2113. And also this phone number (02) 9191 6553
My partner started to get a bit angry with him, as it had been around 1 hour or so on the phone already.
When the man knew he wasn't going to get anywhere he hung up out of the blue,
We immediately called back the number and they said it was Microsoft.
we rang a friend whom said he got the same call 6 weeks ago, and it is a SCAM.

I received a similar call and alarm bells went off !
Person Number one whom I could  barely understand and I kept saying, what are you asking of me, while thinking, here we go again -someone trying to sell me some holiday deal. The phone reception was so bad they were obviously calling from one of those Asian or Indian countries. The request wasn’t a holiday deal as he kept telling me to turn my computer on as something dangerous had been downloaded into it and to look at my keyboard and use the keys on the bottom left and follow his instructions.
After a lot of my saying I can’t understand you and what are you talking about someone else came to the phone who spoke more clearly so I asked him where did you get my phone number from. He claimed to be from a Microsoft Windows Company trying to avert this problem and explained that when I purchased my computer my phone number was registered and to please turn my computer on and  follow his instructions. And yes he was calling from Australia- Yeah right- I asked if they were  contacting everyone in Australia with a computer or just me. So he just started his spiel again. O.K he gave me an Australian sounding name (with a heavy Asian accent) Sam Anderson- the phone number was 02 9191 which I queried and it took ages before he gave me the rest of it – so it’s (02) 9191 6553. No I haven’t called  back but will tomorrow just to see what happens.
