Just got that same call 20 mins ago..my mother answered him and he said her windows OS was corrupted and not knowing what he was saying she put him onto me..asked him what company he was from and he never said just said "we deal in computer  maintenance for linux and apple/mac"....said he was Alex Parker based and living in London but with an accent that strong it was dodgy....he claimed Anti-virus wont pick up on this fault and only he can fix it....he wasnt happy when i gave him abuse down the phone haha

I conacted the ACCC who records scams in Australia.  This is a scam that has been registered with the Australian Government and they are trying to shut it down.  I didn't fall for it because I work for the NTG and had heard rumours about this scam running since August.  Steer clear!Also...Windows dont call you they email you.  Also beware of the current paypal scam...the website it directs you to update your credit card details is paypol not paypal.com.au.

this scam or fake calls are received when the personal computer has the viruses and this is time to get the expertise advice.

stupid b***h was getting mad because i refused to do this, all she wanted was to f*** up my computer!!

don't u worry even i had the same col but my computer is working well and fine and better than it did before
and windows is a globalized company so i think its safe and i found that the payment mode is quite safe and i paid without revealing my bank details i have done a lot of inquiry regarding this and found it to be safe
