*Urgent help needed*

[#1]

Only been with talk talk 2 months, New landline 1st i ever owned. Constant rogue callers on the line that know my name and everthing.
Today i get a call from someone at microslution, Indian guy saying my PC is sending errors to there server and they work for microsoft,Apple etc etc. I dont know if this is a con but he did not at any time want to sell me anything! he  just kept asking to turn my pc on ...?.
Im really confused and annoyed with these calls i dont even know if there legit.
What do i do talk talk why do they know my name and landline number in which i have never onced used !

[#2]

The guy asking you to turn your pc on is a CON. They want you to install some remote control s/w that will let them take FULL control of your machine. Don't let them anywhere near it.
If you haven't already sign up with the TPS (http://www.mpsonline.org.uk/tps/index.html) who will add you to a list of "I don't want these calls".
Otherwise if they know your name then have you registered it anywhere? (Web page/forum asking for a phone number?)

[#3]

Nope nothing at all. Only use the broadband never used landline. They had a brilliant pitch should of been on dragons den.

Hi Dave,
This might be a silly suggestion, but you've said that you never use the landline.  Would just unplugging the phone not work?

[#5]

I could do. We just have it connected just incase of emergency. Il probably do as you said

[#6]

are you really with Talk Talk or did you mean PN?

[#7]

Im with plusnet I always always get them mixed up. The microsolutions guy who works for. Microsoft,apple and is a pc expert is calling me tonight. I tried registering with that website above says im allready registered.

[#8]

dont do any thing the Microsolutions guy says,it is a well known scam and dangerous.  String along and have a game with them by all means, We often do

[#9]

If you have the time and the inclination you would be doing a public service by stringing the scammer along for as long as possible - all the time he's talking to you means he's not trying it on with someone else.

[#10]

but just don't install or do anything he tells you, if you're not confident doing this just hang up!

[#11]

I was thinking of unplugging the network cable and then trying to everything he says which will of course fail. Then when he suspects that you have no internet connection swear blind that you can browse the internet just fine!

[#12]

IMO I would not advise keeping them on the line or goading them, just hang up.

[#13]

+1 all these things are scams dont engage them, just hang up.

Or tell him you are using Windows 3.11 still
