(02) 9223 9500

(02) 9223 9500 is the number for the Consulate General of India, Sydney (ie. the Indian Embassy) at 10/190 George Street Sydney NSW 2000.

Every time I get a call from some bottom-feeding Indian scumbag telling me there’s “a problem with my Windows computer”, I call the Consulate General of India on (02) 9223 9500 and tell them the same thing about THEIR computers. Weird, they don’t seem to appreciate it either?

I encourage all of you to do the same.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you SHOULD be aware that these groups phone unsuspecting suckers, pretending to be official ‘Windows Support’ technicians. Their aim is to convince you to allow them to remotely access your Windows computer under the guise of ‘fixing’ it - at which stage they go to town - stealing every password, all your banking information, and every other bit of valuable information they can get their hands on. They also install hidden software, enabling them to access your information in the future. They have conned a lot of gullible people, and stolen a lot of money and information.

These calls originate in India, and if “the Indian government probably doesn’t have much to do” with eradicating these groups, that’s even MORE incentive to hassle them about it. Every call I get from one of these bottom-feeding Indian scumbags, the Indian embassy gets one from me.
