Hi,
Just an update, this is still my number but it is a number often rented out by Skype.
I am still in possession of it at this time and still get a few calls a month from people ringing back in reply to a call they have received from someone advising that they have a virus and that they can be helped by them; the PC Doctor.
As stated above, this is indeed a scam and you would do well to report it to your national government agency that looks after scams. It would also be a great idea to put your number on the 'do not call' list as a precaution but a lot of these scammers are going to ignore that.
I have a voicemail service currently operating on this number which immediately advises that the people they have been contacted by are not legit so hopefully it will assist in enlightening people further.
I will have this number up until the end of December 2012 at which point it will be up for grabs again.

This is my temporary Skype number and I would appreciate no bogus calls as i am not the scammers as stated. It is definitely possible this number might have been used this way in the past but as of 26 July 2011, it is mine and will not be used like this at all.

Received call regarding corrupt files on my PC and they could fix for me if I logged in to www.logmein123.com and gave them remote access :) A nice offer but a blatant scam.
