034009054

A guy called me from this no nd wanted to speak to my dad, I said his not availble and I asked where he was calling from, he gave me an Indian/Pakistani name but I couldn't understand the name of the company because of his accent, then he was like, "what is your name dear?" stupid perverttt!

My land line rang at 5.10 a.m. on 8 March 2010!!!!   No joke.   Didn't answer phone.   Another call from the same number the next day, around 3.00 p.m. when I was out.   number was recorded on 1471

Just (10th March 2010) got a call from Asian man saying he was from 'Sky Delivery' .....I think, although he was very hard to understand. He asked me if my Sky box was working OK (typically it's not at the moment), I asked him to repeat himself a few times because I could not fully make out the company name he was giving me but then became very suspicious by the tutting and sighing and hung up, he was still gassing on about his next question when I put the phone down.

Had this number call today which no one said anythink. They then hung up after 25 seconds

had a missed call from thisi number yesterday.

Had a call from an supposed IT company claiming that something had installed unwanted files on my computer and that they were providing a service as they claimed it was there duty to inform me.  Talked me through opening event viewer on my machine and counting warning and error signs.  Then sounded astounded and claimed that the date and time when they occurred would be when the files were installed.  I suppose they would have carried on trying to sell me something or get me to connect so they could get passwords etc..  When I informed them that I am a computer programmer they cut the telephone call short and hung straight up.. funny that!!

CHANGE ALL OF YOUR ONLINE PASSWORDS!!  If you do any form of online banking or shopping, check your bank statments and change all of your passwords straight away.  You may also want to get someone to check you pc for any illegit software i.e. virusus ETC.  I'm sorry if this worries you but I'd rather you took too much action than had an empty bank account!

You can easly copy files from/to someone's hard drive using such software including internet browsing details like saved passwords and so on or install nasty software. I do similar legitimate things for our customers on a daily basis to perform legal and wanted IT support but I am aware how easy it would be to do naughty things especially these guys.

Called today (16th March 2010). Hung up when I answered.

called today at 4.50 informing me i have high interest credit.  When i asked what credit,  he sounded supprised and said what you don't have any credit and then carried on trying to sell me a debt sollution.  When i asked him where he was calling from he said debt consumer helpline  and carried on saying he was sending out paperwork if i would confirm a few details.  When i said do you not understand the meaning of the word no, he informed me i should get out of the 19th century told me to f/ck off and hung up.  More infor on moneysavingexpert.com or google consumer debt helpline

Asian sounding woman rang my landline at 13:49 on 17th March. When I told her she had got the wrong surname she persisted in calling me by the incorrect one even though I kept correcting her. She told me I had previously agreed with a colleague to send a donation to WHO. I said I do not donate over the phone but she said I had already agreed. I said NOT OVER THE PHONE. She told me to pi** off and hung up !!
I obtained their number by dialling 1471

This number called today and said I had unsecured debts. When I asked where he got my number from he said from a company. I told him I was on the telephone preference service and asked for the name of the company. He put the phone down . How do we get rid of these sorts of calls.

Asked for me by name, asked if my Sky box was working to which I replied "As far as I know" he then said "You subscribe monthly to Sky then?" and said "Thanks for your time this was a courtesy call from Sky"!!! None of it adds up at all???

Had a call on 18 March from Global computer services - i think he said - from this number. Said it was something to do with error messages on the computer. TOLD me to switch on the computer and he would tell me how to fix it. Sounded a bit odd so i have asked them to ring back when hubby was in. Glad i did now!

Had a call from "The Nerd Support" this morning. Apparently they're "affiliated with Microsoft" - anyone able to confirm this?

He accessed my PC in exactly the same way, showed me some ways my computer was at very serious risk but told me not to worry.

A few pointers I wish to put online for people who are searching about these guys.

1) He'll delete a load of "harmful files". If it's anything like mine, the files he deleted were harmless .TMP files! It won't harm your PC, but he's not actually doing anything helpful either.

2) He'll show you these other "files" that you can't delete, and show you can't highlight them and press the delete button. These are NOT FILES. They're your log of any warnings and error messages you've had. Again, there's nothing WRONG in deleting them, but they're totally harmless!

Second call in as many weeks! This time I answered, said Hello, and got no reply, but could hear a call centre / office in the background.

2 calls in 6 days, both picked up by the answering machine, resulting in hang-ups. This number has called before, maybe 12months ago.

got a call from this asian guy pretending to be affiliated with microsoft saying my firewall had been reporting error messages back to them,then asked me if i was near my computer. just told him not to worry my IT friend nows about it and is fixing the problem then hung up. why do these [***] persist in phoning with [***] stories.(may its time for all of us to be verbally abusive to them,then they might get the message!)

Just had parent's on phone.  "Nerd Support" offered them an upgrade to Windows 7 and 24/7 support for £185.  Luckily, my folks know I work in Information Security, so they called me to check it out, but were part way through giving their credit card number.  He showed them some screens showing Errors, and told them he'd get them Windows 7 upgrade.  He was remote controlling their PC with www.teamviewer.com.  The hardware is not capable of running Windows 7, so I told them it was likely a scam, and asked them to pull the plug on their PC, and not to use it againg.

I asked the guy at the other end of the phone to call me, and surprise, surprise he hasn't.

People, beware!

This foreign bird called asking if I was a Sky subscriber and which box did I use!
I told her to foxtrot oscar

Had a call from this number: 034009054 (they have called several times before..Grrrr)

They are claiming to be pc experts (even gave me the website adress) and asking for an admin fee to close down an account, Asian accent and very arrogant. When I pressed for details about my account the guy was sketchy and said he didnt not have that info but that someone else in his team would have it (ALARM BELLS) told him I work for a fraud department he hung up not long after that lol....
