! THREAT ALERT !

Richard Hall - Friday, November 05, 2010

! THREAT ALERT !
Be aware of individuals ringing and claiming they are Microsoft employees or online repair technicians. The caller may mention that you have errors on your machine that they can help fix. There very well may be errors on your machine, but Microsoft or anybody that claims to repair computers will not know anything about the state of your computer from the other side of a phone (nor would Microsoft use this approach). If this happens to you then consider it highly suspicious and potentially dangerous.

If in doubt hang up.

Please pass this information on to anybody you thinks needs to know. If this has happened to you then please leave a comment that we will post here to help others recognise the warning signs.

Testimonials

10/10 from: Andy Hawcroft, The Vacuum Doctor, Burswood, received: 24-Mar-2011 :

Richard, the driving force behind Computer Origins has been my "go to" computer geek for about 6 years now. He patiently puts techno-babble into plain English that even a "newbie baby boomer" can understand.

His integrity is impeccable, time keeping is precise & customer service skills are something most other business owners should copy & use in their own businesses.

His shop is neat & tidy & organised and Richard himself is truly one of life's gentlemen. We correspond on technical matters at least once a week on average. Make Computer Origins part of your "go to" team!!

Thanks Richard, "You Rock!!"
