(02) 8417 2373 - 0284172373: Local landline number in Sydney, NSW 1001

My PC was infected with an internet pop up message and it asked me to contact this number 0284172373.

I called them and they asked $196 to fix the PC. Lucky I did not pay. However my PC was badly infected with is hoax I had to install everything from scratch. Do not call this number.

I am consistantly getting annoying message from them while I am using my lab top and they pretend they are TPG internet customer centre I can see they are full of shit without calling them I mean who on earth will send a warning message with pop up message? I want this message stop showing on my screen help me plZ.

I got the blue death screen and number to call, I closed the browser and called the number. The guy on the other end told me he was tech support for windows and mac(suspicious tech support for rival companies). He then asked what was on the screen and I told him I had closed the browser, he then asked if I had scanned the computer and if I had an anti virus program... It was at this point I was getting really sus. I told him would scan the computer and if there was a problem I would call back, at this point I found this forum. Never let anyone remote your computer... I found no malware after a full system scan but to be safe I uninstalled and reinstalled chrome. Everything seems to be working fine. Now I have the hassle of re-adding my favourites and passwords to all my usual sites..

Just had a interesting phone conversation with an Indian fella after I had the blue screen telling me that my laptop was at high risk and call this number.

Got very suspicious when he kept forgetting what company he supposedly works for he did take over my computer showing me why my computer is at risk and why it's slow.

Told him I had no money on my card and will call him back at another time, just to end the call nicely as he did have control of my computer.

They are very good technically so be careful.

After reading others experience it can be so easy to get caught out.

This is a scam number for a virus scam.

I cannot find the one system care program to delete it?

Help!

I am also exepriencing the same problem with windows 10 Microsoft edge. A blue screen will pop up asking me to call a technician immediately. I searched this number as I was suspicious and found this site. How do I get rid of it? I've tried everything! I am even thinking of rebooting my laptop. I cannot get anything done on my laptop with this issue.

Thanks in advance.

To the person having problems with Steam, you need to clear the Steam cache by deleting the folder at Users/[username]/AppData/Local/Steam/htmlcache.

The problem with a number of the downloadable solutions is that they will clear yhe caches of ordinary browsers but they don't do the Steam browser.

I got the blue screen and called this number. The guy told me he is from microsoft technical support. He told me my pc got viruse & will crash without their help and all my information could be accesable and he direct me what to do and he start operating it remotely. At last he td me to fix that I have to buy their internet security while I had one. If I didn't buy theirs my pc will collapse. He is in india.

Atlast I told him I don't want to buy their security product and he told me if I didn't buy they won't fix it and warn me my pc could crush.... I got angry & learn that they are hackers and told him that you hacked my pc inorder to frustrate and mislead to sell your product. Then I told him I don't mind if it crush as I can afford to buy new one but I will report to authorites. Then our conversation ended without respect.

I turn off my pc and after a while turn it on the blue screen gone.....

Delete One System Care Virus Removal program.

Blue Screen too with the Contact Tech Support immediately scam and this phone number (02) 8417 2373 When we rang the number and refused to give certain vital information to the technician, that guy hung up. I rang him from a different number asking who he was and he hung up straight away. The hoax is dressed up as a Blue Screen of death which is certainly a new presentation. It insists you need to call the number 02 8417 2373. To talk to a technician. I think it would be less effort to block them. It's a virus & a way for scammers to hack in so be careful.

When such Blue screen and warning apprears to call this phone number, press CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up Task manager and KILL your browser. Delete all cookies/historyof webpages and reset your browser to default settings. Do this twice before you search/browse the internet gain.

Delete One System Care program.

I too get the blue screen advising to call to get an "official technician" to remove the adware/spyware. It only happens when accessing steam games. I used malwarebytes. Didn't help. I restored to a later date. Didn't help. Installed avg free. Didn't work. Still working on it. Any advice is welcome.

My friends computer got the Blue Screen too with the Contact Tech Support immediately scam and this phone number, it should be reported to the police.

I went on a website and it redirected me to this blue screen that told me my computer was in risk. I saw the number and got suspicious, so I searched it up and I went to this website. Each time I go on Microsoft edge (a browser on windows 10) it keeps popping up. How do I remove it?

Our computer said Optus. When we rang the number and refused certain information the Indian guy hung up. I rang him from a different number asking who he was and he hung up straight away.

The hoax is dressed up as a Blue Screen of death which is certainly a new presentation. It insists you need to call the number 02 8417 2373. To talk to a technician. I think it would be less effort to block them in my router.

Scam.

I got a pop up on my screen to call this number because my computer was vulnerable to a security breach it went through to India Microsoft call centre !!!!!!!

Scam I think.

I was told to call this number to do with removing malware from my computer. They claimed it was a Telstra number.
