Scammers, plain and simple. Trying to gain access to your computer

I have had quite a number of these calls too. The one a few nights ago (who couldn't even properly identify who he was supposed to be representing!) was an almost unintelligible Indian gentleman revelling in the name of Mac Taylor. Mac Taylor! You have to be joking!! (anyone else watch CSI New York????). He was fast with the double talk when I asked him to give me the serial number of the machine in question, and even faster when I asked him to send an email to the email on my registration details he claimed to have, outlining the supposed problem. I told him I was nowhere near the computer as I was outside attending to animals and still he kept asking me to just turn on the computer. Asked him to repeat what I had said to him the last time he said to do so and he got really tongue tied. Have some fun with them when they ring and waste their time. It's what a con man deserves.

Scammers.

Call (03) 9008 4298 and ask for "Shaun Davis". Be polite and request support. Once you have a "support call" going pretend to follow instructions. If you are asked "what can you see" or "what has come up" or anything similar say "I see a picture of a horse".

couldn't tell me what was wrong with my computer which computer had the problem ( have 6 in the house) comes up with overseas caller ID

They had my elderly father on the phone for over 1.5 hours, telling him to click this and that etc,they called back the next day to finish what they were wanting to do but I didnt engage with them just took Dannys number,what type of damage has been done to the computer? To scared to turn it on now.

thanks for your help Rat Catcher
I did not realise they were world wide they told me they were in Carlton Vic on (03) 9008 4298 which I rang and they confirmed name World PC TECH co

They called me but when I said I was from Microsoft, they put someone else on the phone. I called them back and told them I needed help with my computer and just so they know, I told them they were on the radio as we were trying to see if they could help me. They insisted they were in Melbourne, but didn't even know what a post code was, or what part of Australia Melbourne was in.

Indian scammers

they claim to be from "worldpccare.com.au" and claim to be based in Melbourne, they are not.
They are part of a scam centre based in Kota India.

If contacted hang up, call consumer affairs NSW and report the incident.

i am registered with this company and i had a word with Shane Watson and Danny Watson and i am very much satisfied with their services .

Yeps... Ive just got off the phone to the TIO... total scam. So annoying, cos I was actually starting to get worried cos they were so persistent...But LMFAO about them being based in Melbourne... I did the whole, 'so the weather's pretty amazing' convo just to suss them out and they were totally clueless, and could only tell me they were based in the CBD. No street name, no identifiable landmarks. Friggin tools.

Still calling.  I told him he should be ashamed and I hung up.  He phone back immediately and asked why I had said he should be ashamed, said he would report me to his supervisor and would cur off all th services his company provided to me.  I told him I would like to see him try... and hung up.  He has not phoned back yet...
