Left message on home answering machine asking for me by first name only and saying it was urgent I call back immediately. He had a very heavy accent and the connection was terrible so couldn't understand anything else he said.

If this number calls you, don't answer. If you do, tell them some choice words and then HANG UP! This is the second call I've gotten from this company. The first was a couple of months ago. They call themselves "Publisher Service Office" but when pressed will not give you a phone number with which to reach their company. They offered $300 free gas and a full 3 yrs of a magazine subscription that I already have + 2 others that I don't want if I just give them a credit card number to pay $74.70. This is a PHISHING expedition. They had some of my info and wanted me to confirm it. When I pressed for a number to call back, "Shane" would not give me one. He told me his supervisor would call back with a confirmation IF I gave him my CC number! I asked to speak with his supervisor and he hung up on me. I called the number and got a recording "number is disconnected."

First instance they asked me to answer a few questions for short survey.
Second time they called and invited me to an awards night, but didnt say when or where.
Third call they told me I had won second prize in a raffle held at the awards night. I apparently won $400,000 Honk Kong dollars. It would be posted to me in the form of a cash cheque.
Fourth call they asked for my bank details to transfer money as cash cheque would be hard to organize from Hong Kong.
I have seen that these guys have been calling a few people of late, doing the same thing. Not sure where they got my number, as I am on the "Do Not Call" register.

Hey all,
Just had a call from a dodgy company, as I'm an ICT Operations Manager, the alarm bells rang straight away..... however they had my personal details.. name, st address etc.. They said they were from the "Windows Service Center".
So I ran with it a bit out of curiosity, they got me to open "Event Viewer" and asked how many ERROR alerts I had (which were a few, but I know what these errors are), however they kept telling me these were from Internet Viruses. Then they got me to open "Windows\Inf" directory in Windows Explorer, and said they were all downloaded viruses.... Now I know they're bullshitting me, cause I know exactly what file types are stored there and why.
So I escalated the call to one of their managers, who still insisted there were problems.. I must admit they are persistent bastards.. Then they wanted me to go to www.logmein123.com and enter a 6 digit number, this is the point my ISP just happen to cut me off ;-) so I told them I lost Internet access while I secretly searched for details about them on the Internet. I laughed when they told me their technician could also fix my Internet connection from my Modem to my ISP... LOL.
Eventually I told them we had other things to do and demanded a recall number (which they wouldn't give to start with). The number was 0280060187, which after a quick search told me they were were listed as "MICROSYSTEMTECH" and also as "REMOTE TECH SOLUTIONS" working from Bengal in India.
This is definitely a scam, they ring and use scare tactics so you think you have PC problems and viruses, then they make you pay a service so they can fix it, but really there is nothing to fix.....

As stated, they are persistent bastards (they'll call you back, so just hang up or tell them to *^#$^% off).

THEY KEEP CALLING TO TELL ME MY COMPUTER HAS VIRUSES AND I KNOW THAT NOT TO BE THE CASE. THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT A SCAM BUT THEY WANT ME TO GO TO A CERTAIN WEBSITE THAT I'M SURE IS FAKE TO SHOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. AND THEN THEY WOULD SAY THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEMS, BUT I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN THAT FAR WITH THEM.
