original title: + 011 phone calls
I just got a phone call from + 011 indicating that I have serious problems with my computer and they provide a Microsoft service problems. It sounds like a crowded call center and they can tell me their name and they tried to set up a remote entry on my computer. That's when I hung up. Is - this legitimate because what it really looked like a trick.

I just got a phone call from a female called Janice... She said she was from Windows and told me that I have a problem with my pc, and it continues to send Windows error reports? ... My pc works well. I ask for my e-mail address, she said they don't have it, but they're my only phone number! I'm old, but I know I should have to register an e-mail address with them....
Anyone ever had this kind of calls? or is it a scam... I ended the call.

Hello
It's a scam.
You gave them remote access and if you do Internet banking, contact your bank, explain, and change passwords.
If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.
And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.
Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.
There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one
Read this Information from Microsoft:
"Avoid scams to phone for tech support.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx
Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.
Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:
Helpdesk Windows
Windows repair center
Microsoft technical support
Microsoft technical support
Windows Support Group Technical Department
Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

Scam phone calls re malware indicating that they are "Microsoft."
Hello I get a series of scam phone calls indicating that they are of "microsoft" and say that I have a problem with my computer. The numbers on the caller ID of the phone are: 002133333206, 003105999211, 002532362020, 002063971113, 003606339006, 0013212000143 and 001753615204. They also asked me similar question such as if my computer is turned on and that it /she (because sometimes it's a woman's voice and, sometimes, a man's voice) can fix it. I always tell them that I'm not interested in such a way they cling fast to the phone. Can you please review?

Phone call warned that a "hacker" attempts to access my computer.
I just got a phone call indicating that a 'hacker' was trying to acess my Windows operating system. I was instructed to go to the computer and follow the instructions. I don't have that. What is a legal appeal or a scam?
No, it is not legal but an attempt to get to either give someone access to your computer or make you buy a worthless or even dangerous software.
You ask yourself who would call you even if such an attempt has been made. A checking the logs of most firewall routers frequently show "probes" by external connections to a network. Why would they choose you ' help '?

Original title: my computer is corrupt and needs fixing!
I received calls from a person in India who said that they are Windows services centre telling me that they have received the error message saying that my computer is damaged, and they want to help me. But I have not received any error message on my screen. When I asked them how they got my number they said it's from the database of Windows. The number they gave me is 02921252715 and when I called the number of the person on the other end told me that they are a company called Windows e-solution, independent company and is not attached to Microsoft Windows. What should I do? Are these authentic calls and approved by Microsoft Windows?

Hello - I've subscribed to the game, in order to have my library is available with several devices. I also had a lot of songs to convert from vinyl but 128 Kbps. I hope that the game would IMPROVE those at 256 kbps AAC. It didn't happen, and so I left my lapse of a year subscription. Now, most of the songs in my library always show a dotted line Cloud icon, indicating that they are evaluated for the match. Why? And, in this situation, I'm not able to access (play, download, move to the playlist, etc.) these songs. Once again, why? What Miss me? Thanks in advance.
Hello
This suggests that the tracks were not on your hard drive when you remove match. Did you delete the originals so you can stream from the cloud? You save the originals before signing up?
