I just recieved a call tonight, did’nt get the number just said international on my home phone, i knew it was a scam immediately so i played a long, agreed to do everything they asked me to do all the while i was just watching tele, after a few minutes of me asking silly questions and feigning concern, i told the fellow on the phone i must have aneven bigger problem than he first thought, he asked me what did i mean, i said when i booted my computer up it did’nt say windows anymore, he said he did’nt understand i said it’s because i switched to linux a few year’s ago, and gave him the gob full of a lifetime. Haha, love toying with the scammers, i figure if i can take a bit of their time it may help someone else they would have rung instead.

at 2.00 pm today I received a call from Robin Davies claiming to be from ATO CANBERRA REINBURSEMENT DEPARTMENT he asked for my husband (which was not home) saying that he needs to collect $7, 600 because he has always paid taxes on time and his entitled to a refund. I called my husband he called back on 0261403468 and he told my husband he had to go to post office and get a WESTERN UNION FORM my husband was at a po at the time and did so “ROBIN DAVIES” called back and was surprised he was already there he asked my husband to deposit $300 before he gets the $7, 6000. We knew it was a scam as I did some investigation before he contactef myhusband second time.

My dad fell for this scam2 years ago , now we are been harassed by these people , the ‘Microsoft’ people clearly calling from India are trying to ‘refund’ the money we gave them but can’t send it through money order or any other means then credit card ,
Clearly a scam it’s so frustrating they have rand our house at lease 2 times a day even on weekends for over a month sometimes as late as 10 at night , they rang about 15 minutes ago and got really aggressive after
Saying we don’t want the money back saying its a crime not to take the money and that some one will arrest is I’m half an hour IT’S REDICULOUS I don’t know what
To do to get them to stop

Wednesday 20th march 2013?An Indian guy has been ringing my 93 yo mum in Perth for the past 2 weeks saying he was from Telstra and wanted her bank acc details to allow her to get more computer access, she doesn’t have a computer! They were 02 & 03 numbers. When I rang the numbers back no one answered. Last night they rang and spoke to my 30 yo daughter saying they were from windows technical support and wanted to fix her computer. Mum and my daughter are sure it’s the same people or scammers. When she said they didn’t have a computer they argued with her for almost 20 mins then my daughter hung up. They rang her back straight away and called her a c..k s………g b…..h and asked why she had hung up on them! So she hung up again! I rang the police but there is nothing they can do, they advised don’t answer 02,03 or private numbers. If its friends or family they can leave a message. Thank goodness mum and my daughter didn’t give them any information.

Seems they have tried again saying its a Tax refund for Bank Changes $5,000 to get back. They gave me a refernce # and a phone number. I rang teh number back and tehn they started saying I needed to pay $299 for lawyer fees. They said they sent a letter a few weeks back but of course I never received it. So I asked them to resend the government letter with its letter head with a invoice for the lawyer. Number was this time 0280037387

I live in California and I received a call from “Windows” (indian guy) at first I went along believing them because I have a computer that is generally messed up. I let him remotely access it and then he asked me to write my email and number on notepad so he can call me when he was done. I did. And midway through whatever he was doing i shut off my computer because I had a bad feeling about it. Then he called back and my dad said to leave it since we were getting rid of it anyways. Immediatly after the phone rang reapeatley, until i pulled the plug on it. What should I do. The caller ID only said out of area and i cant block out of area numbers since my aunt lives in finland and calls constantly. What should I do?
