• A supposed employee call Windows

  This afternoon, I received a phone call from someone who doesn't know my name and had only my phone #. In my view, that he was East Indian. He said that it is Windows, and there was a problem with my computer. He asked me to turn on my computer, and it would help me.  Red flags went up there, and I refused to comply.  I said I was able to speak to him is no longer and hung up my phone.  I'm sure it was a hacker attemptting to access all my information, which included bank statements and accounts of credit card, etc.  A I had reason to suppose that it was a scam?  I would like your answer.  Thank you

  Yes, Marty is certainly a scam, we had a massive influx of discussions about this. They fish for your information and whatever you do, give all of the information for them.

• Windows IT Help desk

  At 3:56 pm is I got a call from a guy who claims to be an employee with Windows IT Help Desk; Adem Smith/ID # ADM209. The call came from the following number; 69-666-6961 adem Smith gave me another number to contact him. 646 243-2811 he was telling me that my computer license has expired and so that his group to renew the license, I pay $199.00, and my computer was in danger of being hacked. Sounds a bit scammy to me.

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  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.

  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

• The App - 'MP Navigator EX' has stopped working.

  Original title: * e-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  I use an operating system of Windows 7 Vista and my printer is a Canon PIXMA MP240 printer.  The App - 'MP Navigator EX' has stopped working. Cannon Tech told me it's a fault of Windows updates.  Windows tech people said they could solve the problem, but it would cost me $100,00.

  Any future assistance or suggestions would be most appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Either you have windows 7 OR you have vista (not both).  Since MP Navigator is a product of Canon, they must support on windows with or without updates.  It is to them to be compatible with windows, not the reverse.

  Not sure who said they could fix it for $100, but I suspect that they were crooks.  Supports MS windows (and they maintain no more than standard support for vista) it would be free.

• Scam or not

  I just got a phone call, would have been an employee of windows, who says that they have received information that my computer is corrupted by various messages. These I found on the control panel errors in red and warnings in yellow. He says that it is slowing down my computer and produce other problems. He proposed to resolve this issue if I defer control of my computer for him for a few minutes. This seems a very weird way for windows to act. Can I assume that it is a scam? This not the first time thay have rung. They don't seem to have the details of my computer.

  Jim s

  Yes, it's a scam. Unfortunately, they keep ringing forever.

• 22/07/13 - caveat, 'ZIRCON SYSTEMS, TECH SUPPORT FOR WINDOWS' CROOK, USING THE PLOY of id # 888DCA60-FC0A-11CF-8F0F-00C04FD7D062

  Last week, and now on the longest phone conversation with me this morning, Mon, 22/07/13, phone swindler wants to CHECK the ID NUMBER OF YOUR COMPUTER.  A 3rd call repeat 'husband' today, from "Steve Matthew," of "Zircon systems", where the staff is all "Microsoft Certified technicians".  Said our PC has been disconnected from the server "universal routing" and needed to check the identification number.  Said computer infected and disengaged, errors with malicious files.  That 50% of Microsoft applications does not.  Finally, after several questions polite but stupid me, as if to say but our computer works OK?  the appellant was told that he is temporarily hung up a temporary server! but it must be reconnected...  After having his name and telephone number - strongly Indian accented man "Steve Matthew" on the phone # 408-498-3608, and have patiently give me the 888DCA60 etc etc 32 numbers, he indicated that he understood my being suspicious, but it is a Microsoft Certified tech, calling for Windows, have we not Windows 7 or XP or Windows 8, etc.?    And he said I could not find the computer ID number easily, it wasn't on our guaranteed purchase paperwork, etc, that I would need to go online with him, to find our location.

  Knowing that registrations for computers, go directly to the manufacturer only if you send the information on your purchase, and that no known iin manufacturer sends the modern world 'Oops, you're disconnected' phone calls, it seemed a bit of fun to keep to provide information...

  So I explained to Mr. Steve, when he repeated for the 4th time that it has been certified Microsoft Tech and trustworthy and kept warning me that our computer would break soon, that, by analogy, certified Subaru Techncians had simply taken a few classes to automotive Subaru training and were not necessarily qualified or guaranteed to work on my car the certification does not matter, you should still consult your dealer, the garage, make sure it's good reputation.    Then, I asked him directly, so, on a phone call from me, a total unknown, he would be willing to send me or transfer to me $2 000,00.  He actually misses, in dismay.  So I repeated it-$ 2,000, say, in US dollars, would it send it to me, if I had called and told him his bank account had been disconnected from his bank, and I needed to reconnect it?   He ate and asked me ' you mean $2,000! $? ' so I said yes, would he give me or transfer to me on this amount, based on a phone call?  He said absolutely not.  End of quote.   I told him how we would check with some type IT geek friends we know, took his phone, name and said I would be back to him and please DON'T NOT CALL BACK IN AN HOUR, BUT PUT us WE HIS DO NOT CALL LIST.

  At this point, I googled Zircon systems - and there is no such American society less than a jeweler or invest co. in Illinois), although I had a systems Zicom in India, which seems to be the sale of legitimate & electronic security systems and then I googled the identification number, find some great ads about what happen and asks what will be PayPal scam, if one agrees with the appellant and goes online and follow their directions.

  (See mutation 2012 of a David Jacoby to http://www.securelist.com/en/blog/208193750/ , who described a telephone scam quite similar, with the technical information, copy requested screens, orders).   Maybe giving a technical support genuine or scam to support people on your side, an idea of what was going on my caller to walk me through, if I had fallen for the Universal Server disconnected claim it does?

  Hope this helps to update your information, files.

  In any case, this is my first time ever having reported a telephone scam.  Thought it would do, seems since then I received a call from update and more sophisticated scam.  My husband simply hung up on the caller last week - he knows little re our PC, I ask more tech-savvy people to help if necessary.  But then, the scammer called back, too.  If something had to be done to put an end to the process?

  Don't forget, if you get that kind of call, simply ask the crook to trust YOU, say that you are a certified technician to bankruptcy with years of training from the IRS.  Ask if he is personally prepared to transfer $2 000,00 to you (via Paypal, do not give your bank account to him for any potential future direct deposit!), but preferably by cheque of... And it must be sent to the address of your worst enemy in life, as you need the alimony to a former spouse.  Or to a mailbox in a different city than your...  And then tell him you'll telephone him with the identification number of your computer, once you have verified that the money is in hand.

  Done politely, in a pleasant soft voice, you would be surprised how unprepared the scammer or snow must be befriended as a simple employee, but itself for you send funds then asked?  I'm looking seriously for the money from them here - I'm not asking in fact send me $2,000, but I said that I was trying to explain by analogy, with auto - trained technicians and requests for money, why I wanted to check with the best-known people before giving identification numbers.  Analogies, it seems well understand what we hear - an example?  I just him speechless when I wanted a large amount of course him sent me instead...

  Uh, Mr. Steve Matthew, Zircon systems, technical support for Windows company, also clearly didn't "want to send me a few thousand, and he hung up, after I suggested that he does not call again, asked him to put us on the list of subscribers do not call...   Clearly a new variant, although, in the wick on the Microsoft Certified Tech claims, the name of Zircon systems company and so I thought after that.

  Hello

  I had a similar call from Indian women (?) strongly accented called 'Janet' of 'Zedconnsystems', based in Floria, USA. She had called asking to speak with my roommate to tell her at the computer (which is mine) showed the error messages.  She shook off the usual garbage and was unable to answer most of the questions I asked, but gave his phone number as 4084983608.

  As far as scams go this one seems rather transparent, but mention on the off chance someone saves a load of hassle!

• I have a disc of windows with the COA, box no., and gave me an employee OF A MICROSOFT, a product key is not working...

  I recently got a new computer and installed windows 7, I had a problem getting a product key, so I contacted the support, they confirmed my information and everything and found me a new code. It has worked well. Well, I came across a few defective installation problems, so I decided to reset my computer, installed everything smoothly, factory but now my code does not work. I asked the employee to Microsoft if my key would work on my Windows 7, if I decided to reinstall it and he said yes, but it's not. I would like some help to activate my windows please, last time that the employee needed only my COST and production number (?) which is on the CD to prove that he is a legitimate copy of windows.

• (For Microsoft employees) Apologies for not genuine Windows 7 Ultimate

  I have a laptop with Windows 7 Home Basic pre installed, it was authentic 100%. At that time I was 12, I don't know what Windows Anytime Upgrade (I don't know about the authentic software, pirate, crack, serial, k product key, etc because I was 12). I entered, and there was a lot of function of the new Windows 7 (Home Premium, professional, ultimate). I tried the product key for Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade (just try, you know about the time that was my first laptop...), I found it on a website, not a keygen, crack or hack, it is only the serial number. I try to enter the upgrade key Windows 7 Ultimate for Windows Anytime Upgrade. First of all, the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate cancelled because the series was not valid. So, I canceled it.

  Suddenly, when I restart my pc, it is automatically upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate! It's weird! I waited and my PC has become Windows 7 Ultimate... I used the Windows Update, and it is perfectly works like a charm! I did not know why the non-genuine Windows 7 Ultimate could not detected as not authentic, I used it for almost 2 years as a truly authentic Windows, no window pop up, no warning non-genuine, it's like the real genuine Windows.

  When I was 15, I recently know that no authentic (cracked, steal the serial number) is an action contrary to the law, 'hurt' Microsoft Corporation and the true owner series I entered... I feel guilty...

  "I apologize (very apology) for Microsoft Corporation and all employees of Microsoft, especially under Windows, because I use non-genuine Windows 7 Ultimate edition (upgrade of Windows 7 Edition family Basic)." I don't know anything at this moment here because I was still 12. »

  Now, I have to my WIndows 7 Home Basic with the product under the laptop key... But, the problem is, I get the Windows 7 Home Basic, Windows 7 Ultimate edition not authentic, I downloaded it on the third party site, it's 100% clean official Installer for Windows (not cracked, hacked, or more). I created the bootable USB and installed on the laptop.

  My question... Is my Windows 7 Home Basic (now has been updated 10 Windows entitled Digital Home) become non-genuine (in religion: illegal, prohibited, illegal) because I have no money to buy the actual key Windows 7 Ultimate upgrade... I'm really very sorry...

  Please accept my apologies to Microsoft Corporation and need your advice for me...

  Thank you

  Because you have restored the authentic Windows 7 Home Edition basic and upgraded to Windows 10 Home, you are now in compliance. Nothing to worry.

  Click Start > settings > update & security > Activation

  If it says that Windows is activated, then fine.

• 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.

• Replaced the HARD drive, discs of HP Win 7 recovery, load loop file employees or any windows boot device

  System: HP pavilion dv6-3155dx
  OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)

  My son's computer was on the fritz. No Moose OS disks, so I bought a recovery disc for HP. Not good. Machine attempted to run records, but stopped far from completion due to HARD disk failures. HARD drive failed the disk test HARD Insider bios. Replaced by the new Seagate. Added also 4 GB of RAM for total 8 Gb. BIOS test the RAM and the HARD disk as good. Yay!

  BUT, when running Windows 7 recovery discs, I get the "Windows is loading files...". "black screen with the loading bar, first quickly, then slowly." Can I get the promise of "Starting Windows", but it fails and the system seems to reboot to the recovery disks in an infinite loop. Black loading screen, to windows to count, to restart it, to the black loading screen... Again and again and again. I can F8 safe mode that just brings back us to the loop.

  Somewhere I heard tell that there was a problem with the HP startup with a new disk or the recovery disks and get the file sp44645.exe from Cyberlink, put on a CD and boot from there. Got the file, set the bios to boot and "No boot device - insert the diskette in the book and press a key." Rechecked. I'm starting the CD player (otherwise why Windows Life recovery disks?)

  Hmm. Bios sees the HARD drive. Recovery of Windows of DVD starts but loops. No bootable CD bootable file.

  I'm a bit confuzzled (confused/perplexed)? Where is the real failure here?

  Good news so far. Hope by now that you have managed to successfully recover (didn't see it in time to pray ). If you've had success, you can try reinstalling the extra ram.

• former employee deleted all of my work, including windows xp tablet edition computer, how can I reload without disks?

  on a gateway CX 2620, everything on the hard drive has been zapped.  I have the microsoft license info, but nothing else.

• "Windows services Centre" call by saying that I have a problem with my internal security system

  Hello

  I received a phone call from 'Windows Service Centre', James Henderson, employee of 406-235-1159, phone number #7098 (Yes, that's an indication 406 and 416 - which is one of the reasons why I'm suspicious), but gave a speech in Mississauga (Ontario), saying that I have a problem with my internal security system and even if www.ammyy.com I need to talk to the technician to solve this problem. I do not trust him and hang up, but called the number, responded to the same person (as he had an Indian accent with a lisp in addition to this) and he said that Joseph and not James!
  Scam or what? Thank you

  It is a scam! Who is becoming extremely common and was even on the news in some places. As long as you don't give them any personal information, you should be fine. Should they call once again, simply hang up.

• I just got a phone call from a man claiming to be a tech windows

  I just got a phone call from a man claiming to be a tech of windows. He told me that he had to call me because of the high number of junk that has been downloaded and my windows updates. Is this for real?

  Hello Angiee57,

  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.

  This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.
