    Hi guys, not sure this is the right place to post this.

    I have been getting phone calls from a computer maintenance firm from the past two weeks asking me to provide IP address and so on.. They claim to be from Windows Support and to have detected a virus on my computer..

    Not sure if it's only happening in Galway or somewhere else as well.. Their phone ID shows as 009 1890

    Just thought I'd share it as some people might get caught..

    They ask you to turn your computer, provide your IP address and other details..

    DON'T DO IT..

    They've been on the go for a couple of years all over the country if not the world, there's an extensive thread in Computers & Technology:

    As this is not a specifically Galway County issue I'm closing this thread.

    Thanks OP for thinking to give others the heads up on this. :)
