I received a call today from a very lovely Christine. She took me through a tour of the Windows Event Viewer, followed by a visit to the Run -> "inf infections" which takes you to the Windows INF folder. Apparently I had 1,316 infections!! She then pointed me at www.ammyy.com but my virus scanner "detected" it as a virus. So we then tried www.logmein123.com which again my virus scanner "detected" as a virus. At that point I asked for her name and number so I could call her back as I had to go back to "work". :) It was an interesting experience.

tl;dr: COMPUTER MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT is trying to get remote control of your PC to infect it with crap. Just hang up.

Hello,

I recently received a phone all, 7.30pm on 21/06/11.  We were eating dinner so I had to race and find the phone as we have had a few unwell relies recently thinking it was to do with this.  There was no caller id on this call, so I answered.  Very thick indian/foreign accent telling me that my warranty has expired on my computer and could I please open it up so I can fix it.  Now for one fact, I have never EVER been called about my warranty running out on any of my computers.  I recently purchased my laptop, so I knew that my warranty would not be out of date.  As I missed what she identified her company as, I asked her "what company are you calling from?".  She replied "Melbourne".  I asked two more times and she replied "Melbourne". The last time I asked, she hung up.  

This scares me this stupid rubbish as if it was my no-so-computer-saavy parents, they may have gone ahead and given them access to their computer.  I am not happy about this at all.

Innocent End Users BEWARE!

Call from this number to my husbands work on 4 Oct 2010, supposedly from "Max Rodgers" - "computer maintenance" saying that they had received an error report from MY home computer!! Since my computer has never had any links to my husbands work p I suspected something strange was afoot. Have tried to ring several times, no reply. Found your website and interested to see others had calls from same number.

I have posted my investigation results into these scammers here, for law enforcement purposes.May it help prevent these mean criminals from exploiting any more innocent victims.Google short link to document: http://goo.gl/MD1jZ
