• Crooks as employees of windows

  I received two phone calls from persons presenting themselves as microsoft Windows. They tell you that they receive your computer error messages... Call for yesterday was very convincing. Today, the guy was rude. I got the number of the caller ID should it be reported to the police?

  As you can imagine, this is a scam and with various names and phone
  numbers, one that is becoming more and more common lately.
  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
  If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
  where confidential information they stole.

  So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
  immediately:

  1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
  2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
  financial sites.

  I wish that the police could do something, but they can't.
  Reports will do nothing good, but it can't hurt either.

  Yes, you are right not to trust that it is not windows or any part of Microsoft support services.

  This is a complete scam and one that has become very common these days. . Don't think anything such a caller said, do nothing that he tells you to do and hang up on him immediately.

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.
