Asian/Indian woman and man wanting to get access to my computer for unknown reason. Couldn't make sense of it and man was angry for my questions.

Indian male caller, said he was from Windows Technical Support.  I questioned him as to the name of the company he worked for.  He replied Microsoft, I then pushed for his phone number which he gave.  Then I told him Microsoft never calls anyone, especially at 7.30pm, that he was a vulture.  He hung up on my.

Another Indian call centre scammer.

We had a call from an Indian man claiming to work for Microsoft. As with the other comments he wanted me to turn on the computer. He did give his number when asked.

Same above, they called my old man.
Advised him that they were scammers

getting calls from angry man with Indian accent claiming to work with Microsoft head office in North Ryde and giving Employee Number MSN0075 and this phone number wanting to remore access my computer and asking many questions.

Phone harassment is illegal.

I also got an Indian guy from 'technical.. Microsoft software'.

I'm bit of a technical computer expert, so was interested in where he was going to lead me.  I had similar calls before but kept putting the phone down as I was pretty busy, but this time I had time to listen.

He showed me some windows event logs and falsely claimed the logs were all caused by a virus, then he showed me some system files and blatantly claimed they were viruses that had been downloaded.

He then wanted to take over my computer (using teamviewer), so I quickly booted up a different computer that wasnt important, and let him control that.  He then downloaded iobit software, which is actually good software I recommend, as to show me there were issue with the machine.  This software always finds issues - highly recommended scan, but then he tried to sell me his 'anti-virus' based upon this.

When I was unwilling to give a credit card number, he showed me some company details.. ABN: 29-002-589-460 (North Ryde), his number (above), and said I could call back.

btw: He told too many lies, so DO NOT trust them!!

I just had the same call, Rang microsoft straight after, They have had 4 reports of the same thing today.
