They called me last night and said they looked in my computer and that it was infected. I replied "amazing, and what operating system was my system running when you looked in it?"

He replied. "Windows and it is infected. We looked in it."

I replied "so my Mac is running windows? Didn't do a very good job looking around did you?"

Then I hung up.

Ya I did the "be nice" thing and tried to get info like, who hired "Tech Budha" to look after my devices on the internet.  Since they try to convince you that "they want to advise you of a widespread "Windows" problem, I also asked if he was also going to call everyone on the planet running Windows LOL

Then I looked at their spiffy website, and contact info where nobody answers the phone.

This has scam all over it and its sad that some people will believe their computers are generating tens of thousands of errors.   LOL, and if it was, do ya not think Windows would let us know?

Now I in no uncertain terms just tell them to F$%& right off.

Yes, definitely a fraud, however I'm afraid "the authorities" can't do much except get the phone number disconnected. Then they will start using a different phone number. These people are committing fraud outside the country and no court in Canada will prosecute them. What is a local police sevice going to do - send officers to Inda to arrest a sweat-shop full of people earning $5 per week and bring them to Canada and prosecute them? Even if the ring-leaders can be identified they will not be prosecuted here or in India (or whatever country, it's not just India). And it's not just one set of fraudsters. There are many of these rings operating.And I agree with the first commenter - there should a a FRAUD section to choose from because 'Telemarketer' just doesn't cut it.

This techbuddha guys are based in Kolkata India as I happened to be friend a caller who called me . he gave all his contact details in India with addresses. The base company is set to be registered in Australia though. The website is all crap and they get it remodelled again and again . This is one of the best ways to scam an indivual and take away all his personal information as credit card details and the CVV number. Please be aware of these type of scammers who rob your personal details and later use the same information to swipe your card again and again.

After a lot of research I found the following details:Tech Buddha Pty Ltd. CEO : Michael Riek (US National)Operates from Indian call center Diversified Technologies India Pvt Ltd. Michael and his staff are a bunch of scammers. BEWARE!!!
