  It's a scam. Microsoft will never contact you unless you tell them (even in this case, it is unlikely).

• Another scam Email [was: Bernard]

  I received two emails claiming to be from Microsoft Support Center tells me someone in Tokyo tried to access my account.  After the first I called my computer support person, he said it's probably a scam, delete.  Today, I got the same message with the same information.  How can I know if is is legitimate or not?

  Think of your tech support person.  Microsoft does not contact individuals by e-mail or telephone to tell them that their computer has been attacked, his account has been compromised, or something similar.

  If you are unsure of the foregoing... what email told you to?  Call a number without fees or go to a poll official website?

  If it's a phone number, enter the number in a Google search and see what the results are.

  Links in emails are trickier because they can be disguised.  Just because a link says www.microsoft.com, click top can take you somewhere else entirely.  Try clicking on the link in the previous sentence (it's safe).  You can see the actual code behind any email, but the techniques to vary depending on what mail program you use.

• I got a phone call from a guy who said he was with Microsoft and that someone had linked in my computer. Is it a scam?

  I got a phone call from one of the related foreign accent that he was with Microsoft Security and that my computer has been used or something to that effect.

  I could hardly understand him.  Is this another scam floating around?   What should I do to report this?

  Thank you

  Short answer: Yes. It is a scam. Not much interest to report, as MS are well aware of this problem, but there is little they can do about it since then (I guess) most of the calls are created outside the United States

• Iyogi has contacted me and said that I have to pay $199 to continue my contract or my system will crash. Is it a scam?

  Windows web site

  I was contacted by someone from India, IYOGI, that if I send them $199.00 my Windows contract will expire and my computer will crash! is it a scam?

  Hello RichardBurdick,

  You have a support contract with Microsoft? AFAIK IYOGI is a group of independent support (worldwide) in India sites. They have nothing to do with Microsoft. and that's probably another scam.

  Unless you have a direct contract with Microsoft support no Microsoft never will contact you about problems with your PC.

  They tried to tell you that you had problems with your PC and they can fix if you have followed there instructions. They probably said something about open or by opening event viewer run and then typing in a command?

  There are a lot of these scams around, do not fall for them. Never let them access to your PC.

  Only you know if you have already paid FRO a support contract. If you do not, then it is a scam to make you part with your money.

  Here is a link that refers to the IYOGI scam: http://krebsonsecurity.com/2012/03/aghast-at-avasts-iyogi-support/

  I write that there is a problem with Google on my computer so I don't get access to some other details IYOGI scam. Try Googling for details IYOGI scams

• Received phone call scam

  original title: invasion

  Today, I got a call from phone of someone who said they were from Microsoft. They explained that they knew my PC had a few problems with virus and asked me to go through some formalities. I began, then became suspicious when I asked if they could give me an identification. More than two people came to try to persuade me to continue the program, they have tried with the first caller.

  I refused, asked their names and company they also represented, I said I was recording the call via the habit (a white lie) and then he hung up.

  I've composed 1471 and the number, they called a 02012574201 I guess it is a scam and warns other PC users to take note

• Is - this protected by a kind of scam?

  microsoft would never call you on your phone set to tell you that you have a problem with your computer.  Received 3 calls from them saying they were with Microsoft and wanted initialize me and it's all the others they got until I hung up.  Is - this protected by a kind of scam?

  Hello immerna2,

  As usual, this is another scam.

  Unless you have a support contract prepaid or you raise a support ticket with Microsoft, no Microsoft will call you about the problems with your PC.

  All these crooks are trying to do is access your PC so they can steal your personal data, which is bank details etc. Under no circumstances should allow you remote access to your PC.

• Microsoft Finance scam - refund Department Possible

  I got three calls pressing me to access my computer to pay back me the money paid to a company of tech support for one year.

  The appellant says that the work of the company to Microsoft, but it is not Microsoft. The appellant said that it is from the Department of Finance-refund Microsoft wants ordered me to go online to fill out a form to get a refund on my credit card.  His name given, even if obviously Indian, is Alan McKenzie, a FL phone nbr. 239-400-3725 he explains that already have Microsoft and thus have free technical support and should not pay using support outside tech.  I am very confused. He says Microsoft will refund my money when filling out a form online request of course my credit card information. East - another scam. Company I paid for additional technical support seems very, very ligit ad warns me such calls cold and do not entertain at all and no access to the computer.  Who is the real guy?

  It's a scam. Microsoft does not call you if you ask them to call you.

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.
