  • Scam or potential fraud from Microsoft

    I think I have been targeted for fraud today.  I received a phone call from a man with an Indian accent who said he was with Microsoft.  He called because my computer had sent Microsoft a lot of messages about a virus in my computer.  The virus is very active; However, it could not be removed by Essentials.  He said that it was imperative to that upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate for the discounted price of $150 immediately to make sure that my computer has not crashed.

    Is this kind of contact action legitimate Microsoft?  I refused to buy the upgrade.  If it of a scam or fraud, I'll help Microsoft with any information I can.

    Microsoft is already well aware of this.
    It's a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one who has
    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
    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.

  • Micrsoft impostor or would be hacker?

    Hi I got a call from someone who identified himself as James of Microsoft Technical maintainenance Dept, in Melbourne, telling me that Microsoft has received a lot of error messages from my computer and my computer will soon crash & I'll lose everything then and he wanted to take me step by step on my computer to solve the problem. I suspect be a fraud and refused to say politely I went out for lunch and asked for his number so I can check him. The such that no, he gave was 03 90187738. When I called him back, he called again and my husband told him of our computer is new and has no problem - it's a fraudster / would be hacker?

    He is a fraud.  Microsoft rarely phone customers.  They are trying to get info on you, so they can steal your identity.

    I just read the previous comments on Logmein123 and have had a similar experience. The contact was a Mark Browne and their phone number was 0208 0999 162. Apparently, I have problems with my computer and quoted me 'EVENTVWR' to see the red and yellow that prove that I have problems. I explained that I didn't notice the problems described, but on we went at breakneck speed logging on to a website and almost downloading some software. Fortunatel it did not work and finally I had the time to say NO!

    So if it is a scam, why is it still happeneing? It's late June now and the previous entries were February!

  • fraud, claiming that he worked for microsoft,

    I gave my email address to a fraud, claiming that he works for microsoft, should I change my email address?

    I don't know there is nothing much he can do with just an e-mail address with the exception of spam to your Inbox with unwanted or of links to viruses to hack into your account. If you have a feeling of insecurity, then create a password stronger, make sure your security options are configured so that you can reset your password with another email address or phone number, etc.. If your profile contains too much personal information, then you can clean it up a bit. E-mail addresses are supposed to have some very basic information. Don't open strange e-mail and do not click on email links even if it appears to come from Microsoft (the old trick in the book).

    Note: Most of the electronic mail services allowing you block e-mail from certain senders

  • Microsoft Technical Support phone scam

    Hello, I recently received a call (about 5 minutes ago) from Microsoft. They claimed to be Microsoft technical support. They told me that my computer has sent a lot of warning and error messages to Microsoft. They said that messages and stuff said that my computer had downloaded malicious software malware and it could damage my system and internal hard drive. Then they told me that they did not answer me and now called for helping me solve this message. (I stopped to think about what they said because I had been having a lot of problems of slow boot and Windows taking almost 5 + minutes to start). So I played along for a while, but only for a minute. The first guy says let me connect to our senior technical specialist or something like that. Then I logged. The second guy says: "Hello my name is ___ Snyder (I remember only the family name)." They have given me in my observer of events and after I hung up with suspicion and Bishop/confidentiality. They tried to call me again, but I rejected the call. Please give me advice on this issue. I want to know if it's a scam to take over my computer and steal my identity, etc. or is it really Microsoft tries to help to fix my computer.
    Some info on the "technical support guy":
    Both were men. We had a strong accent from the Middle East while it had a slight accent Middle Easterners to it.
    One of the men claimed to be the main _ (don't remember the average Word) specialist. It was called _ (don't remember the name), said Snyder.
    Track of the location of the call. Approximate location is the New Hampshire, USA. This is as far as I know
    Help, please! Also give suggestions on anything that might be necessary to change etc.

  • possible scam of phone microsoft

    Hello - I got daily phone calls from "No. Caller ID" people claiming to work for Microsoft with regard to hacking my account. All of the appellants had an Indian accent and some have hung up when I asked for a number to call back on until today.

    An Indian lady gave me his details and asked me to call her back on:

    Microsoft, Thames Valley Park, Reading

    1721 employee ID

    Amanda Parker

    0118-328-2346

    still sounds dubious and I not call her back, as the "Amanda Parker" does not sound of Indian decent?

    is the normal procedure of Microsoft to call me by phone without previous introduction of myself?

    I recently lost a laptop computer so am curious, could be something to do with it?

    Help, please?

    Thank you

    Paul.
