A Microsoft Agent called me on the phone at home? Why?

I got a very strange call they stated they were by Microsoft of Florida? They are in Seattle Washington aren't? in any case they said that I was hacked and was marked with red?  and it was scary that Microsoft calls me on a phone? Well they tried to get into my computer, and then I told them Microsoft dose do not call someone? then, as he did with a focus to talk to me and I decided to go to Microsoft and check my account and found I had to go through security special and changed my password got a new special code to access my account, so that phone call I believe in my gut was a pirate himself cause I was at Microsoft and said I'm at Microsoft now what happened to my account? They never hung up I called back, they said that they tried to send me an email? not never received any email from Microsoft at all. What is a hacker pretending they were Microsoft? What would you think? Things are weird since I bought my new laptop. Why the laptop and not my office. Then I never received a call from type y Microsoft.  I have this name and phone number on my caller ID. A Microsoft person really call me to help me? I need help here thanks

It is a scam, hang up without giving them any info.

  • A Microsoft agent called me and told me that I need to renew my license windows

    A person who is called an agent called me this morning and told me that I need to renew my license of windows 7. The operating system provided with the computer when I bought it from Tigerdirect (and he got his inventory directly from asus) and I think he has a great chance of being a scam. He said a life time license costs $100 and I want to ask you if Microsoft really has this kind of agents and if I should trust him?

    There are a lot of these current scams.  Microsoft does not make unsolicited calls:

    I just got a phone call from a stranger - sounding man claiming he was from Windows and that my computer was getting malware, and he would walk me by a fix on my computer. Is this real or a scam?

    Hello

    It's a scam.

    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)

    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.

    If you gave them remote access and 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.

    See you soon.

  • BlackBerry Smartphones does not display missed calls if on the phone to someone else?

    My 9000 blcakberry tell me if I had a missed call, if I'm on the phone with someone else... can it be resolved?

    Thank you

    Firstly, you will need to inquire of your operator if you have the "Call waiting" feature, brought into service on your account.

    On your device, press the green line to enter the call log > Menu key > call waiting. What do you see here?

    On your camera too, always in the call log, press Menu > Call Logging > and see if the missed calls is checked. Do it and save.

  • Header logo is scrolling with the text below in the phone + tablet version, why?

    Hello

    I have three versions (desktop, Tablet and phone) and I want the logo to stay in the same place in the header. In the desktop version that works, but in the Tablet and phone version logo scrolls automatically the content text. I did the settings in the master of the tablet.

    I certainly do something wrong, but what?

    Can you help me?

    Kind regards

    Mirco

    Hello

    I think you've pinned the logo in the provision of funds and because of this it remains up on parchment however the pinning option is disabled in the phone and Tablet layout.

    PIN these elements available phone, you need to use scroll effects. Please take a look at the steps in the link below to use scrolling effect to elements of the PIN in the phone and Tablet layout.

    How to keep elements of the visible headers on mobile sites? Pin not an option

    Someone suggested that some Internet service providers log, but this has
    never been my experience. If this is the case, it is not common.

    In general, your internet connection is like a phone call. If someone
    calls while you're on a phone call (or Internet), they get
    a signal of occupation, but your telephone connection (or internet connection)
    remains.

  • Phone calls showing on the phone of the wife

    So when my wife or I make a phone call, or receive/miss one, it appears on each of the other phones. If I call his iphone 6 and it does not, after I hang up sometimes as a missed call. Same things happen on his phone as well.

    How can I stop this? Never had that until the last big update.

    Stop sharing an ID to iCloud.

  • Gap of white in the bottom of the phone available [was: why is not adjust the height of the browser when you use sensitive pictures]

    I'm building a sensitive site with lots of photos and I have a very frustrating problem.

    When I'm at the weight 550px I view photos on a single column and adapt their weight and size, so they don't get cut. Nice pictures across, but the bottom of the browser does not follow! So it leaves a terrible "white" after the footer space.

    I tried with and without feet, but when I display as 20 images or more (especially if they are horizontal) in a single column, it's as if the browser does not follow and leaves a blank space with nothing.

    And the solution of adding break points, he is not a good thing because I would need a break point each 100px or less! Because the 'white space' in the lower part develops very quickly!

    I don't know if I explain my problem properly, I have attached a few screenshots to illustrate the problem. It is 550px weight and there are 30 images above to resize the size and weight. Att 550px is no problem att the footer but when I start the resizing of the 'white space' begins more and more.

    If it's supposed to happen? Or y at - it something I am doing wrong? Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you!

    I found the solution! It was just to add an att of low minimum height of the breakpoint, in the current page and the page master. As 300px worked well. It was difficult because I was dragging down the end of the page manually, so the minimum height was also changing.

  • Received the phone call from scam of asking to connect to the computer

    A man with a voice of Indian call center called and asked my friend to connect to his computer because they knew that she had had problems with the help and he called for a "windows service center.  She asked for a number to call back and he hung up.  There is a phishing scam rightnow?

    It is a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

    Reported people on these calls for a person who represents Windows (note: not Microsoft).

    It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.

    Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.

    Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site!

  • I have a virus by Symmantec. I was called by Life Support for PC with Microsoft in order to fix the problem.

    Ok. I got a virus by Symmantec.  I have phoned by Nick Life Support for PC.  They said that they have been informed of our Microsoft's IP address because we were infected and that they call to help eliminate the virus.  Is this a valid service of Microsoft?  How did get our phone at home?  Now, they have my cell phone number, too.  Please check validation.

    It is a scam.  Microsoft does not offer a service like this.  For something similar, see announcement warning: hoax E-mail indicating that the network is infected-security

  • Problem with the Menu accordion Mobile, try calling the phone number

    I created a menu accordion on the mobile version of my site, and each link is trying to connect to a phone number, not the actual page, it must be bound (such as 'home', 'about' 'contact', etc.) I tried to clear more of master and departure, but it does the same thing...

    Your main manu works fine at my end, but you have an extra trigger on the phone's home page that sits on top of the relaxation of manu.
