Claiming to offer tech support on behalf of bigpond (Aussie internet provider)
Im well aware of their scams, such as the virtual pc doctor type stuff.
wanted me to sit in front of my computer, run a few things, claimed I would lose data if I didnt purchase a maintenance warranty from her on the phone.
reported to scamwatch.gov.au, police, media.

I have received 2 calls, once from a Victor Jackson and later from a guy called Jason. They say they work for a firm called Onestopcomputerfix. They claim they have received notification that my computer has been infected with a Trojan virus and it will gradually slow down and end up not working.They claim that my Antivirus system can not detect this virus but they have a way to get rid of it. They wanted me to go in to my computer to look up the event manager to see how many errors there were in there. I played along and the event manager showed some errors which they said was very bad. Next they wanted to get into my computer which I refused. I said I wanted to investigate a little before I was going anywhere with this. I asked for some contact details and they gave me the phone number  03 90084256 and said they had a web page for me to check out. I did Googled the name "onestopcomputerfix" and found a lot of bad stuff written about these guys. Most of the stuff written by people in the UK. Searching further a similar scam appear in the USA. I am now  waiting and ready for these guys if they ring again.

Received a call from a guy claiming to be Andy Barker from Telstra. He claimed our computer had been hacked but their engineers were working on it and he could help us. He told us our address. He started asking questions like how many users we had. We started getting suspicious due to the questions and also the time of the call (6pm on a weeknight). When asked for ID he gave his employee ID 224058 and his phone number (03) 9008 4256. He gave us an address on Pacific Highway, but said the suburb was Garden.

My husband had a call from a Mick Johnson who said we had been hacked into for the last 7 days and he needed someone to sit in front of the computer - fortunately my husband knows very little about computers so he rang me - when i called them a "david" answered and said they were a one stopcomputer fix place and when i asked to speak to mike he put him on thephone - he also said i was being hacked but when  i ased how he got my number he said he had received an email from microsoft stating i was having problems - now it is true my computer has not worked for 2 days but i don;t believe him. i told him to cll me tonight when i got home so i could verify a few details. be very aware of these scammers and don;t give them any details.

As a follow up I received a call at 6.40pm last night(13.09) - I firstly asked how they got my phone no given it is a silent unlisted no - they could not answer - then they said they were in Sydney and did i know anyone in victoria - Isaid seeing as you know everything you should know i am based in victoria and your no is a melb no - Mike said no no no we are in sydney. I told him he was a scammer and to get off the phone and nt ring again. He rang back 4 times and despite my screaming at him he continued to insist he was calling on behalf of microsoft. Finally my husband threatened him with the police if he called us again - finally he rung up. THIS IS A BIG SCAM - DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY.

This call gave that number as a call-back number, but this time they were offering to sell me a device that, if I plugged it into any power poiint in my home, would save my up to 40% on my electricity ... which, for a home electricity supply just is not possible for a number of technical reasons. The caller gave their supervisor's name as Sean Williams and the company name as being Power Saver Limited.

I just had the same scam as  DJ.  A person from Power Savers Limited was talking (with a heavy (non indian for once) accent) about how I was such a good payer of my power bill that they had an offer.  Since I was barely about to understand the person, as was being quite aggressive, I was put onto her supervisor, a person called Alex.  He was willing to give me their number to call back on, the number this page is about.

Got the same call from Adam Smith and Mike Johnson, telling me my computer is infected, they are from ASIC but they have the experts to stop it.Same number 03 9008 4256 apparantly they are now in Melbourne.Funny they sound like they are phoning from Mumbai.
They say their business ID  is MCP8729

I'm sure its a scam so be very wary and do not give them any access or details, it's a scam!!

Got the call tonight from number 03 9008 4256 a Indian guy claimed to be from Microsoft saying it was infected by someone hacking it from Vic etc etc so he was going to run me through a few steps to fix it (luckily I'm very aware of scams) but I couldn't understand him anyway so he put his manager on which sounded like he just handed the phone to him (not very professional for 'microsoft') the manager 'andy barker' was Indian too but I could understand him. Said my kid was busy crying and I'll call back later, called 3 times no pick up 4th call answered straight away by a man of European descent answering 'hello' I said hi who's this (thinking I had the wrong number) he said Kevin who's this and I said oh I got given this number to ring, is this 03 9008 4256 he says yeah (still as European voice) I say so this isn't Microsoft?? He says yes (European) this is microsoft (indian ascent) I said ur full of it, go f your self. Funniest thing ever though how he changes his ascent like that and still expects me to fall for it.

got a phone call tonight from a man claiming to be from power savers limited, he told us he had a device that would save us 40% on our power bill.......my mum actually thought he was from our power company and unwittingly gave him our credit card details, he then explained that the device would cost $150 and did he have permission to take the money from her account now......she said no!!!

later he called back and explained he had lost his job due to her changing her mind and he wanted some sort of compensation, again my mum hung up.


later he called back and i answered the phone, pretending to be her husband, i made out like i was very interested and got as many details as possible from him>

david nash - (very indian sounding name)
power savers limited
03 90084256

he said he had gotten my details from white pages, even though we are listed as private.

He then asked me again if he could take the money and i said no.........his reaction to was to tell me to "go to the hell, you motherf**ker, I'll be sending someone to your house this week to f**k you up"

this amused me so i played for a little bit longer until he hung up.
I'm worried now that he has our credit card details, address, full names and bank details. Could lead to identity theft???

I immediately called the banks and cancelled the card so hopefully nothing was taken yet.

Go a call from this number today, they said they are from "powersaver" wanted to confirm my card deails I had been awared, on behalf or my power co and gatget bla bla bl scam scam

My wife pick up call from Kate (Indian tone) and asked her if we are microsoft windows user. As she doesn't know much about computer, she handed phone to me. Kate told me that my computer is hacked at 6:30pm yesterday night and it is hacked from Northern Victoria (as all other posts have same place mentioned, just wondering if all people staying in Northern Victoria have nothing else to do than hacking computers). I asked her how she knows my name and number and she told me that all microsoft windows desktop purchased are being monitored by their server as they are cerfified Microsoft service provider. She wanted me to go on my computer so that she can fix the virus however, I had an appointment to go. Hence, I said give me your name and number so that I can give you a call back and no marks for guessing number given was 03-90084256.
When I came back home, I got call from her again at 5:30pm (now tone is little changed than previous one). Interesting, in the first call she told me that they are working until 5pm only. When I cross-checked her with various queries, she almost got angry and told me that if something happens to your computer than don't call their office to fix it. She hang up just after that.
Beware about this scam..... don't give them any details.

Also had a call from
0390084256
posing as Microsoft technicians.
They hung up when I said I would report the call but not before I managed to find out their number!!
Dumb??

Had a call from One Stop Computer Fix. Paul Johnson (with an Indian accent) Ph 0390084256. When I called this number to confirm who they were, there was initially no answer on the phone.
They wanted to get into my computer, so being sceptical, I said no.
They said I had been hacked into from Nothernern Victoria at 6.30pm last night and I would lose my computer hard drive within two hours. They wanted to gain access to my computer and for $100.00 they would give me support for nine years.
WHen they rang back I told them that I had reported their phone number, their company to the Federal Police, and they said they don't give a S**T.
This is a scam.

Don't let them anywhere near your computer

Got a call from Paul Jones from this number leaving a message with housemate, claiming to be from Microsoft and that my computer was being hacked from Victoria. He was very insistent, and was able to state our address correctly. Message was taken- he urgently wanted a call back on this number (0390085256). No response- googled instead to find this page!!!

permision to get in to my computer to fix the virus in order to prevent hacker to get in to my computer's security system. would this person is genual and can be trusted? his name is Andy Parker

I got the same problem, but then my computer actually got hacked. 100% hacked. A window came up and said. "your computer has been hacked", "you should have brought security". I'm not joking. Then everything closed and I got BSOD
