Dodgy computer repair operators on the Sunshine Coast

This blog entry is more of a public announcement about a scam that is hitting the Sunshine Coast. It seems representatives of this web site, http://www.techisonline.com/, are ringing up people informing them of problems with their computer. These alleged techies then instruct the person to open up their firewalls etc, allowing direct access to their computers. Once done, their valuable identity information gets stolen and used for malicious purposes.

Please beware, this scam has been running worldwide for years. And if "Denzel" rings you up and says something is wrong with your PC - just hang up...

If you do have computer problems, and need computer repairs to your PC, you can always "trust" Buzz A Geek! :)
