• 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?

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  Microsoft does ever not requested for telephone calls of support or security.

  (such persons may use names other than Microsoft as well)

  It's just a technical forum, so we cannot investigate these people. You should contact your local police or the authorities for this.

  Is it that no matter what version is still running Oracle, which has not yet officially launched with oracle?

  Hello

  I think that the most important changes are:
  1. move on Weblogic Server.
  2. creation of a unified period. Which means that everything plugs into it. SOA, BPM, OSB, B2B...

  Additional features like the NDA: Composites within network-based event. SDO: Service Data Objects to transfer information and from db, adf (if I'm not mistaken)
  Tighter integration with the ADF.

  A few extensions to BPEL. Such as the events of Signal etc. Don't know if it's standard or specific to Oracle extension.

  But you get the idea. A lot of changes, a lot of things improved and move functionality.

  Yes! They are * not * windows technical support. It's a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one that has become very common these days. See http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/08/virus-scams-social-engineering-victims.html

  
  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value, if you let them into your computer, who knows what damage they did here or what 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.

• WARNING: 0115 714 2007 telephone calls are a scam!

  I just had a lucky escape, I received a call from an Asian guy apparently called to tell me that my computer was blinking warnings in the control center of Microsoft, he said was a technician Windows & called to correct the problem, delete the hackers who accessed my computer.

  I was very suspicious that I had received several emails to alert & error that turned out to be false. I have him asked to prove that he was calling from Windows, it gave my license number & showed me several pages pirate so-called programs (windows run-info), also a page that lists warnings & errors. He wanted me to enter a 6 digit of my product ID code, in a support site that was when I realized they were going to access my computer remotely... I took this number (0115-714-2007) & said I would like to remind, I called a computer friend who verified that I had escaped just a scam.

  I would like to know how they got my number & if these people had sent e-mails to alert & original mistake, which meant that they also had my cell phone number to which they sent several codes... Is there anyone I can tell you this too, these people must be stopped!

• Error report followed closely by scam phone call.__04 June 2010

  Error followed by phone call report scam. (£79 for a new Microsoft license request). I'm in the United Kingdom.

  June 4, 2010

  I, also, have just received a phone call from scam shortly after the presentation of a microsoft error report. The appellant was Asian, as if the others were and he claimed he was from Microsoft. I had downloaded a rogue file that was causing my computer works more slowly and asked me to click on the Start button and open the "run" command, he said. He asked me to type "eventvwr", this brought an observer called window events. He asked me to click on the app and got my attention to the error and warning symbols in the open list. He then asked me to click on system and see the symbols contained in this list. He then said he would connect on a technician who would correct the mistakes on my computer but my license has expired and I had to buy another before PayPal mistakes could be corrected. He quoted £79 when asked. He would tell me how to send money via Paypal when I told him that I wasn't going to send money to anyone. I said, 'as far as I know, you could be a criminal trying to pull a scam. "Anyone can phone up and say these things."  Oops, I had caught. "YOU CALL ME A CRIMINAL. "Well WELL YOU GO COME AND PASS 200 lbs ON A TECHNINICIAN BLAH, BLAH RANT, rant", and then he slammed the phone down. There, he, he. ****.

   

  Hello

  It seems that you had a telemarketing call or what we call a call of the scam. Do not provide a personal information in your.

  If you are in the United Kingdom and the appellant made an offer to help a royalty payment, you should contact the national fraud authority.  Details are on their website at:http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/

  The NFA has pledged to track down and eliminate these criminals, but they need all the help they can get to identify scams, if they do not speak that they can act.

  If you can at least get a website URL, which could be useful in a report.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently

  Cybercriminals often use the names of well-known companies, such as ours, in their scams. They think it will convince you to give them money or your personal information. While they usually use email to deceive you, they sometimes use the phone instead.

  Common scams that use the Microsoft name

  • A person of "Microsoft Support" calls to fix your computer
  • "You have won the Microsoft Lottery"
  • Microsoft "requires credit card information to validate your copy of Windows.
  • "Microsoft" send unsolicited e-mail with attached security updates

   

  Avoid these dangerous hoaxes

  We do not send unsolicited e-mail messages or make phone calls unsolicited request personal or financial information or repair your computer.

  If you receive an unsolicited e-mail or phone call which is supposed to be from Microsoft, and request that you send personal information or click on the links, delete the message or hang up the phone.

  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've been scammed.

  You did not win the "Microsoft Lottery".

  Microsoft customers are often the target of a scam that uses messages falsely promise money. Victims receive messages saying 'You won the Microsoft Lottery!' There is no Microsoft Lottery. Delete the message.

  If you have lost money to this scam, report it. You can also send the police report to Microsoft, and we will use it to help the security forces to catch criminals who send these e-mail messages.

  To protect yourself against these e-mail hoaxes, you can use the same general orientation you use to protect yourself against phishing scams.

  Microsoft do not ask for credit card information to validate your copy of Windows

  We require that your copy of Windows is legitimate before you can obtain programs from the Microsoft Download Center or receive software updates from Microsoft Update. Our online process that performs this validation is called the Genuine Advantage Program. at no time during the validation process we request your credit card information.

  In fact, we collect any information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, e-mail address or other personal information.

  For more information, read the Microsoft Genuine software privacy statement program.

  To learn more about the program in general, see Genuine Windows: frequently asked questions.

  Microsoft sends no communication unsolicited on security updates

  When we publish information about a security software update or security incident, we send e-mail messages only to subscribers of our security communication program.

  Unfortunately, Cybercriminals have operated this program by sending fake security messages that appear to come from Microsoft. Some messages to attract the recipients to Web sites to download spyware or other malicious software. Others include an attachment that contains a virus. Delete the message. Do not open the attachment.

  Legitimate security communications from Microsoft

  • Legitimate communications do not include software updates as attachments. We never attach software updates to our security communications. On the contrary, we refer customers to our site for more information on the update or the software security incident.

• Support scam Dell called?

  I received several calls from the ADMIN NOTE: number retired by the phone privacy policy > today. I picked up the third call, and a guy named Ashley said that my Dell laptop sends messages to Dell on malicious software downloaded on my laptop. I told her to give me the number of what he done correctly. I called from my landline to this number, and this seemed to be a genuine Dell customer support. This number is also on the website dell as home users in warranty customer.

  Ashley asked me ' can you turn on the computer so I can guide you through a few steps? ' and when I did it asked me to press the Windows key + R and then type eventvwr. He said click on custom-> administrative events views and what do you see? I told nothing, even if I saw on errors and warnings of k 14. He hung up soon. Google told me that say your machine has a problem, citing the event errors view is a well known scam.

  Is it a scam? I would be very surprised if it wasn't. Can you please review?

  I see that a similar problem has been reported here.

  en.Community.Dell.com/.../19629723

  It's a scam, and our team Dell securities studies. They are using our real phone number and hiding their phone numbers not Dell. We collect these complaints. Follow the instructions here to check your system and also to give M DELL-Lorna all the data we need to send to our team of securities.

• How do contact you windows to report a scam phone call

  Hi I was just wondering how do you report this scam to the phone call, you go to your local police or don't expect, or how can contact you with windows, I get these calls every day telling me I have a virus and to turn on my computer, it is a call of the Indian region, but the problem is that they call my house number and I don't have my home number recorded by windows / hotmail. So how they got, it's unreal. I was wondering if anyone can help urgently! Thank you

  Hi Niamh,

  If you know who is in contact with you, then you can either call their phone service provider and ask them to try to block the number or contact your local police.

  Microsoft has nothing to do with those calls.

• Phone scam. Call claiming to be from Microsoft.

  Original title: phone scam

  Received a call from 23-456-7809 today, and he told me he worked for Microsoft and said that my computer has a lot of viruses from the internet. He was also an Indian man. Then he told me to go to run and type 'inf', from there, he said all these files affect my computer and remove any that you don't recognize. I delete anything thankfully. After that he told me to type something else in the Run dialog box and causes the word "cat", I don't remember what the rest of it was but it was a www site. This is when I knew this guy was playing me. I was not followed to type in the site "www" and "cat" in the Run dialog box. I hooked immediately after. My question is if I am at risk because I typed in 'inf '? Give him no personal information or credit card etc. numbers. Just did my Norton anti virus run and 36 risk came after the call that have been removed from my computer. I've was type in 'inf' in the run box for this guy, Im right ok?

  It took anytime control of your computer? The part 'cat' makes me leary. If it did not control, he could well have stolen information that puts you at high risk. insofar as a bank or other sensitive sites, you have the passwords for.

  It's a real call from Microsoft?

• Scamming phone calls

  I recently received a phone call from someone who said they were by Microsoft and that my computer was in danger from malicious software, etc.  He stressed that he had nothing to do with viruses, etc..   He asked me to connect to my computer and then tell me to hit a few buttons, etc.  At this point, I informed I want that his phone number at Microsoft, and he began to give me his direct line: 201-338-6183. I asked where he was and he said in New York.  I informed him that I would review my own computer for malware, etc. and if I felt that I should remember. Instead, it goes without saying that I did not, did a search on the phone number and found that it was perhaps a marketing scam.  Seems to be trying to sell me a malware program.  I thought you want to know about it.  I don't remember Microsoft never call anything.
