How to make/receive the phone call from a laptop connected to the smartphone via bluetooth?
Dear community of Microsoft,
I have a smartphone (Samsung SCH-I759) which I want to connect to a laptop running Windows 7 Professional, then I could make/receive the phone call on the cell phone.
After browse around, I saw several methods to do are pretty simple. Activate bluetooth on both devices connect, match and set - the bluetooth device menu.
When I followed these instructions, I was able to pair the devices but the ability to use the bluetooth connected as a phone smartphone does not appear. Instead, I have less accessible services in the menu. Here is the screenshot:
For those who have been successfully pair and use their laptops as phone, would you care to share the how-to?
Thank you

It depends on the abilities programmed into your phone. Your photo, I can say that is not possible on your phone, then you will not be able to do.
If you want to make/receive calls on your computer, you could try to use Skype or Google Voice.

Original title: ERROR REPORT FIX - HUMAN IT SOLUTIONS.
Today I received a phone call from 'Human IT Solutions'. The operator said that I had reported an error and asked me to log in and follow his instructions, as it was a very simple matter to deal with. I typed in the flag of MS, "rt" track: this opened the window "run" in which I typed in 'eventvwr' followed by 'OK '. This opened "Event Viewer". At this point I told him I was not willing to go far and he didn't send me the "fix." He said that his company had no authorization to send emails and our conversation ended. I tried to inform Microsoft, but of course all their facilities help for XP are now US only and I couldn't find any way to inform them (I think they should know, and anyway, if it is a genuine appeal, it might be good to have). Anyone got any ideas on the question of whether I have done the right thing or how to say MS?

ADF, I received today a similar appeal. When I questioned his information on the company, he was very defensive and said "I have no cold calling, I'm in East London" I asked him to give me the name of the software MS causing errors, during which he compiled a long list of file extensions and avoided the question. When I asked her name and phone number so I can get my husband to call him back, he began to read a number on phone, but the figures '0-1', the line was cut off.
I'm sure you made the right choice in putting an end to the conversation of what I lived today. I have no idea how you would report to Microsoft, but wanted a response to you here to support your actions!

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be windows and I have stupisly access to my computer, but does not give them the credit card details. This could be a problem
Hello Ann,.
If you allowed them access to your PC, then it is a problem. I considered reinstalling my OS and change all my passwords. It would also make sense, if you use the online banking etc., to inform your bank that you have a security hole on your PC. This will alert them to anyone using your current password to the Bank etc.

I also received a phone call from an Indian man who claims to make Windows and I have a Virus
I also received a phone call from an Indian man who said I had a virus, I did not open anything but try to connect but could not it says something like unable to connect that someonelse is connected, I tried to log on my girls password and the same thing happened there. When I closed the computer and re entered my password allowed me right there. My question is I did not open anything when he was on the phone I just connected, he was hacking my computer or was pure coincidence. I don't do banking over the internet, but I paid for a few things on the line and I'm afraid that he can get any substance persional. Help, please! Thank you
Only way he could access your computer is if you gave him the passwords, or enables a remote access connection by... you should have to install Teamviewer, Logmein or other legitimate applications and then give the code to access it.
Here are some other links you find interesting... extends over what you might have faced if you let scammers in your computer.
Kind regards...

I received a phone call from a fellow of the center of Windows Service in Ontario
original title: Windows repair center
I received a phone call from a classmate of the Service Windows in Ontario reports saying they received a lot of error in my computer and he was going in wrong places. I had no idea. His name was Nelson Jones, and he was actually control my computer. That interested me. Also, he wanted me to register with Windows Server so that they could help solve my computer issues, at a cost, of course, I expect if it is not a scam. Is there a way that can be verified. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
It is a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.
Reported people on these calls for a person who represents Windows (note: not Microsoft).
It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.
Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.
Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site!

Recently received a phone call from a person saying that my computer has a virus online damage the hard drive. They said that my computer license of Microsoft and utilimately ID wanted remote access to my computer via maintenance PC (pc22.com) to correct it. Is this a new type of fraud that goes around?
It is not a new type of fraud, but it IS a scam. MS does not give that kind of information, and they do not call users.

Call phone-received a phone call from a technician who said my system was sending error reports
Today, I received a phone call from an Indian man who claims to be a technician. He said that my laptop has been sending error reports for the last 3 months. I had to call b - s because I had just my cell phone last month and it worked perfectly fine. He said that he was with universal Tech Support and when I asked him if he works with Microsoft somehow he said that his company works with Microsoft. I was really curious so I let the call and he told me to go to ammyy.com and run the software. I did and I let him have some light control on my laptop and I noticed that it wasn't really something that just move the mouse around the screen and he was not clicking on anything. He then said that my uTorrent was the question and I still called b - s. I installed it there, but I still have to download torrents. He said that my laptop has 4000 + error messages and they have been displayed on my screen. He decided to transfer me to his manager and that's when I hung up and restarted my laptop and run a full scan once more. What caught my attention, he was actually the registration # from my laptop and he repeated to me. The first time, they called the caller ID said "unknown name, unknown number." The second time they called a number actually popped up. (516-515-7279), I decided to give the number a call, and I didn't get any answer. I searched all over the internet and Ammyy scams pop up but all scammers are pretending be Microsoft certified technicians and I heard again scammers claim that they work with universal Tech Support. Now, I'm very curious to know whether or not Microsoft is doing a collaboration with this company.
Hello NahDeeUhh,
That's all just a scam
Your PC regularly send error reports to Microsoft. This helps Microsoft determine what issues affect most users. During the transfer of these technical error reports information are transferred between your computer and the Microsoft server. NO personal data are transferred, so ask yourself "How did get my information?
Any company (or individual) can get a database of potential customers, providing that they are willing to pay for this information. It may just be a voters list that could include your address and telephone number. Whatever list it's this list gives this company/individual details that they need to cold call you.
Unless you have a contract to support prepaid with Microsoft, then Microsoft 'never' will call you about a problem with your machine. Yes there are Microsoft Certified Software engineers out there, but they do not work to make them work for companies that are independent of Microsoft.
If you receive a similar appeal to new everything simply replace the telephone receiver and have no more to do with the appellant. Under no circumstances should allow you remote access to your PC. This is fatal. All they are after is your personal data such as password, coordinated and banking passwords etc.

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 have been scammed.

I was very leary about it wanted to check into that first. He said he could remember at an agreed time. So I set up to 22/05/12 at 4:30 pm p.t.. Is it a scam? This should be an international alert to all users of mircosoft for msn & email clients. They would come by phone now. SO WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? !!!

If you leave them in your computer, who knows what they were doing or where
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. after reinstallation of Windows, change all your passwords.
especially the banks or other
financial sites.Since they have perhaps installed a recorder of strikes, changing just your
Passwords may not be good enough. -
