• Anyone receiving calls from Microsoft Windows (call center from India by the sounds of it) saying that you have a corrupted file? Or is it a scam?

  We received a call last night from someone who claimed to be the Windows technical department saying that our computer has a file corrupted Microsoft on this issue.  First name: Richard Williams.  0261 004030 callback number.  Sounds like an Indian call center.

  I can't believe that cold Microsoft calls people.

  A quick search on google news suggests that people in Britain were targeted by something similar.

  It's a scam.

• I received calls from someone in India who said that they are Windows services centre telling me that they have received the error message saying that my computer is corrupted

  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?

  In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer

  No, Microsoft wouldn't you not solicited. Or they would know if errors exist on your
  computer. So that's the fraud or scams to get your money or worse to steal your identity.

• I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer.

  Original title: scams?

  I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer. Normally, I just say that I don't have and hung up. Today, I took a little further and he said that they discovered that I had loads of malware/viruses etc and that they could identify with them. I was obviously very suspicious because he seemed to have my correct Windows ID number and with care on 'Run' he told me to type things like cmd eventviewer and inf where he referred to a file 1394.pnf. I stopped while he asked remotely to access my computer. However, I got a phone number 01916450337 and his P786000 id I noticed that many people are posting on your forum-is this another one of those scams?

  Continue to put the phone down. They are all crooks.

  They get you to open Event Viewer, because there are words such as 'critical' and 'error' along the this.

• I continue to receive calls from a company called wintech.

  I continue to receive calls from a company called wintech and a man who is obviously in India, but called Shane Watson!   I was on the phone for about 3 hours for him today!  I pay money for them last year and am now being harassed to pay more. He gave me a 020 30262097 phone number and identification number to authenticate his call. The company that the payments go to the e-business solutions East nias. He showed me the screens that are supposed to be errors on my PC and also stated that the pirates are using my IP address to hack other computers?  I don't know if it is a lie. It sounds me again in the morning to take payment for software that is supposed to be for a "performance booster PC + anti software piracy" after reading some of these posts, I'm now really worried that he already won access to my PC.

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer, which is another ploy they use to scare you

  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.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to 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.

  And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

• Unable to receive calls from Apple Watch, using WIFI AT &amp; T calls, when the iPhone is turned on, turned off or in Airplane Mode.

  I work on this issue and wanted to involve the community.

  I have tests the functionality Apple Watch and have been unable to solve my problems with WIFI call. I use the AT & T and I am connect to the strip of the 5 GHz on my router Xfinity.

  I am able to make/receive calls from my iPad and Mac laptop when iPhone is off / Mode plane; However, this feature does not work on the watch. I can make and receive calls from the watch when the phone is turned on.

  Another problem is that I am not able to send and receive messages (blue or green bubble) of the watch - once again when the phone is turned off or in flight Mode

  I'll copy in 2 portions of the Web site: http://help.apple.com/watch/

  http://help.Apple.com/watch/#/apd0443fb403

  If your Apple Watch is in range of a Wi - Fi network that the iPhone is connected to before, you can always do the following (even if the iPhone is off):

  • Send and receive digital messages Touch
  • Send and receive messages using Messages
  • Make and receive phone calls (if you have active calls, Wi - Fi, and you are within range of a Wi - Fi connected to your iPhone before)
  • Check current weather conditions
  • Track your inventory

  http://help.Apple.com/watch/#/apd2fe746e86

  Make calls via Wi - Fi

  If your cellular operator offers Wi - Fi calls, you can use Apple Watch to make and receive calls over Wi - Fi instead of cellular network - even when your pair iPhone isn't with you or is disabled. Apple Watch comes to be in range of a Wi - Fi network that is connected to your iPhone in the past.

  To see if your carrier offers Wi - Fi calls, see the article Apple Support phone with Wi-Fi calls, then enable the calls on your iPhone and Apple Watch Wi - Fi.

  Note: You can make emergency calls via Wi - Fi, but when possible, use rather iPhone over a cellular connection - your location information will be more specific.

  Enable on iPhone Wi - Fi calls. On iPhone, go to settings > phone and turn on Wi - Fi calling and application to other devices.

  Enable calls on Apple Watch Wi - Fi. Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap phone, then turn on Wi - Fi calls. If you do not see the parameter, make sure that you have activated calls on iPhone Wi - Fi.

  Answer please if you are able to perform any of these functions! And any troubleshooting you can think!

  I have... to connect to the 5 GHz on my... router bandwidth.

  Hello

  These features are not available because Apple Watch cannot connect to a network of GHz Wi - Fi 5.

  If your watch is not connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but lying in a 2.4 GHz Wi - Fi network your iPhone plugged in before, the watch can connect to this network and you can continue to use certain features, including Wi - Fi calls (when it is supported by your operator, you already have in place).

• MX800 enrolled in the TPaaS receive calls from 100 @ numbers

  I have a new installation of a MX800 recorded at TPaaS in the cloud, and the unit constantly receives calls from 100 @ and its IP address. This started over the weekend and takes place every 30 seconds like clockwork. Is there some way in the MX800 I can put in the filter restrictions to block calls from probes starting at 100 @ or is it a TPaaS?

  Thanks, Jeff

  Looks like a someone on the internet is the SIP devices using automated analytical tools known scanning and looking system PBX calls the inside to reduce fresh international of appeal or trying to hack and break the PBX devices. These calls are sent directly to your address IP MX800.

  Your MX800 behind the firewall or directly connected to the Public and exposed to the internet?

  Try turning off the port of SIP listening for inbound connections on ports TCP/UDP of SIP on your MX800 under System Configuration > SIP settings. If disabled, endpoint won't be available through the Registrar SIP CUCM or VCS via TPaas in the cloud.

  No, it is NOT legitimate.  It's a scam.  Don't need to.  Microsoft does NOT call people like that.

  Good luck.

• I was receiveing calls from microsoft stating that attempts to take over my computer has been detected.

  About once or twice a month, I get a phone call from someone claiming to be with microsoft. This person said that there is evidence that someone is trying to take over my computer. Then he asked me to give him permission to embark on my computer to remove these attempts. My question is... is it the way that microsoft works and is a legitimate call? And should I allow this person access to my computer?

  become very frequent lately. See

  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

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

• Someone had a phone call from a crook "Windows Care"?

  Yesterday, on November 4, @ 5:00 p.m. PDT, I received a phone call from a man with an accent who knew my name saying he called "Windows Care" and there was a problem with my computer.  I hung up.

  I wonder if others get these calls in North America.  I read that it was a wave of them earlier in the year in the United Kingdom. How he got my phone number and name? How can protect yourself you?

  JenniferAnne, Victoria BC, CANADA

  It's a scam and the calls are received in Europe and North America we know... probably in Asia and South America also.  Name and telephone number could come from "the directory" or any public documents.  Protect you by doing exactly what you did... you were enough NET determine this was a scam and you have hung up.
