I received a call from the number mentioned above, and it raised quite a few alarms for me. The caller, a girl named Jennifer-who appeared to be quite young and of Asian descent-struggled a bit with her English. She implied that her organisation was linked to Windows and claimed they could provide solutions for computer issues, but only after receiving some form of payment. I’m really curious about the identity of these people, as there was no indication of the company’s name when I tried to return the call. It seems they might be operating out of the USA and Ireland, among other places. Has anyone else come across this potentially dodgy outfit?

My father-in-law, who is rather advanced in years, received a similar call from someone calling themselves 'Jenifer' and ended up parting with £205 for what they described as a lifetime support package. From what I've uncovered, they appear to be peddling something called ‘ADVANCED SYSTEMCARE 4’, which is essentially a registry cleaner tool. The company involved seems to be IObit, and I’ve discovered that you can actually download or buy the PRO version for just $19.95. As for the credibility of these characters, I'm still on the fence. I plan to dig deeper and see if we can reclaim his funds. To add to my concerns, I think he may have granted them remote access to his computer... All in all, I find it rather dodgy. MP (UK)

I recently received a rather dubious phone call from someone who identified himself as Alan Smith, claiming to work in the Global Maintenance department of the Windows Operating System. He mentioned that they had been getting error alerts from my computer, suggesting that it had been compromised by hackers exploiting my ID for nefarious activities. At first, I found the entire exchange rather strange, but I decided to humour him. He instructed me to execute the CMD command “inf,” which supposedly displayed some error logs, and also the command “eventvwr,” which also pointed to similar issues. He warned me not to interact with these error logs. After that, I was handed over to a woman from their technical team, who passionately assured me that they were legitimate and not some sort of scam. She had me run the CMD “assoc,” which generated an ID number that matched the one she read to me-though I hadn’t a clue what it signified. I played along, all the while not disclosing any personal information, as they hadn’t even bothered to ask for my name. Then came the request to enter CMD www.support.me; she claimed that a technician would assist me in clearing out all these supposed malicious files that were jeopardising my computer’s performance. The alarm bells rang immediately-I knew this was a ploy for them to remote access my machine, and there was absolutely no way I was letting a stranger invade my privacy in such a manner! When I declined to proceed, the woman warned me I would be held accountable if the “hackers” used my computer ID for harmful activities. I politely ended the call. A mere ten minutes later, the same chap-yes, Alan Smith again-phoned back, urging me to reconsider, reiterating the urgency of addressing “all these dreadful issues” with my computer. He even provided a callback number: 0208 123 9275, assuring me it would confirm their legitimacy. Curious, I decided to look up the number and stumbled upon this website. I thought it prudent to share my experience as I can only imagine they’ll eventually trick someone unsuspecting enough to grant them access to their machine. A gentle reminder to all: never divulge any personal details over the phone, especially if it’s them calling you, and for goodness’ sake, don’t permit anyone to access your computer unless you absolutely trust them and have initiated the call!

Received a call from the number mentioned above, and it was a chap named Bradley. Unfortunately, I was unable to speak at that moment. He claimed we had an issue with our Windows Seven that was supposedly slowing down our computer and offered to give us a ring back to help fix this. I must admit, I found it somewhat dubious, so we told him not to bother. Since then, I’ve had three more calls from the same number, this time from a voice that sounded “Asian.” It’s proving quite difficult to shake them off, despite asking for the number I initially provided.

I received a call earlier from someone claiming to be David Williams, who had an Asian accent. He informed me that our computer was supposedly sending alerts to Windows about some issues and that it was probably running sluggishly. Since we were about to head out, I asked for a number to call back, but after doing some research, I've decided against it. The caller became somewhat confrontational when she sensed that I was sceptical. I'm baffled as to how she even acquired our home phone number, as it has nothing to do with our computer. It makes me wonder how many people might fall for this trick.

Is there any way to uncover the identities of this company? Their name, location, and so forth? Whenever I ring them, it’s always an Asian voice on the line. They’re rather hesitant to reveal who they actually are, but after some probing, I gathered something about Global BT maintenance or a similar title. It appears they’re linked to businesses in Ireland, the USA, and other places. Sounds quite dodgy, don’t you think? Is there a legitimate organisation that could help track down the name and address of these individuals?

I've received a number of calls from 0208 123 9275, claiming they're affiliated with Windows and insisting that my computer has errors. They prompted me to press the Windows key and R to access eventvwr, but I was quite sceptical and chose not to follow their instructions. Their speech was rather muddled, and I found it difficult to grasp what they were on about. It's rather worrying how they managed to obtain my phone number, and when I asked for them to send an email, they flat out refused. It makes me wonder what else they might know about me.
