[AusNOG] Hoax calls ?

[Grant Moritz]

Yeah we're seeing them as well.

The sell is always the same, company is calling on behalf of Microsoft or
some other company and knows there are bad things wrong with the PC and
offer to fix it remotely, usually using LogMeinRescue (support.me is one of
their domains) or Ammyy.

They usually advertise a local number, I have mainly seen 03 but probably
just an end point for an Indian call center.
