• Why is it so difficult to find an email to report a phishing scam?

  I can't believe that the iTunes store is not an easy find lnk to report scam emails.  Most large companies have this to protect customers, I have not found one to report an email sent to my mother in law.  I hope this is something apple can fix in a relatively short time, cause it will not get better I can see.

• Sweepstakes scam Email

  I received the following email and I can usually catch it a scam, but this one had me a bit confused. I recently graduated lase school and know what is legal and what is and is not allowed to publish. How's this for Microsoft to continue to allow them to use their logos and print things about their business when it is not in the form of notice and is not in the "best interests" of Microsoft's customers?

  Can someone please answer this for me, because as far as I know, this is defamation and misrepresentation of the facts, among other things.

  Thank you for your consideration. I hope this can end, because it's boring. I hope that nobody falls for this!

  Hi Melissa,

  Please contact Microsoft Community.

  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.

• is this real or a phishing scam?

  I received several emails from the "Microsoft account team" asking I have check a code to access my account.  I didn't ask this information - this is a phishing scam?

  Hello

  Its a SCAM!

  In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
  Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.

  The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation
  (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), funded in part by the Bureau of Justice Assistance
  (BJA).

  No, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
  on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
  identity.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited
  phone calls to help you fix your computer

• Constantly flooded with pop up / phishing scam messages!

  Hi, I was wondering if someone could help. For the past 2 weeks I've been flooded with boring jump - rises from the constant / phishing scams "congratulations you have won..." "on my iPhone and an iPad 2! It has gotten to the point now where I can't use any of these devices! as soon as I use safari, google chrome, most apps for example BBC News, BBC sport, etc... It automatically goes to the prize / competition messages and can't click on them. I was not on all questionable websites, just news and sports that I used for years, starting by it seemed to be only BBC sport app but then quickly spread to all! It seems also occur just after I did the last software update, do not know if this is related to the problem?

  So far, I have:

  • Removed from web history (several times)
  • Completely erased and reset all devices and set up as a new iPad / iPhone.
  • Created a new Apple ID, incase it was related to my original account.
  • Make sure blocker made in the settings.
  • Been in the apple store for help twice, they just did what I had already done. He seemed to disappear when in the Apple store, but as soon as I got home n used them once again, he was back!
  • I tried installing apps blocker, but they did not work, and most are not comparable with iPads.
  • Messaged Apple on the Live Chat, but they did not help, just what I had already done before.

  I'm completely lost what to do next.

  If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of these horrible annoying messages / pop - ups, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you

• I am a victim of what I believe to be a phishing scam

  I am a victim of what I believe to be a phishing scam, I want to stop as soon as POSSIBLE, but the forum to find answers is closed, any help?

  Help and Support for Windows Live Hotmail can be found at http://windowslivehelp.com/product.aspx?productid=1

  If Hotmail is not your e-mail provider, contact your ISP. If you provided the connection information by clicking a link in an email and you believe that you have been a victim of phishing, change your password * immediately * by going to the site that you thought that you connect to.

• "Mark as" follow-up of the Phishing scam?

  I use Internet Explorer and when I get an email which is obviously a phishing scam, I click on "mark as" and then I click on "phishing."  My question is: when what happens? and another question I have is: when I click on 'Block sender' and I still continue to receive emails from an unwanted source, what can I do about it?  My security settings are already defined very high.

• Phishing scam or no scam Phishing

  Original title: TYPE PHISHING OR ANY TYPE of PHISHING scam scam?

  I'm just an e-mail informing me that Hotmail is the upgrade of their database and to continue with my account that I have to fill in my name, password and the countries at the bottom and then press on answer.  Is this valid? It is the first time I noticed it, and he only appeared on one of three email accounts I have with hotmail.  In addition, there the hotmail logo and brand.  Of course, they would know that I have been active.  I use my emails ALL THE TIME!  He also told me that it is a FINAL OPINION.

  PS for several months, I received a LOT of emails indicating that he has money waiting for me of the FBI, of priests, officials, and the list goes.  I have notified the FBI and I scored on several occasions messages as phishing scams, but I still get them.  Help!

  SCAM PHISHING OR ANY PHISHING SCAM?

  Phishing. You are correct in your suspicions. The key word here is the password. No legitimate request will ask for your password if you are prompted to connect to your account, make absolutely sure that the site that you log in to the site that is associated with your account.

  You neglected to provide details on what you use for your email, but if it's Outlook then tighten your Junk E-mail settings and possibly make a few rules of your choice. If your e-mail account is simply flooded with spam, consider changing to a new account and throw the old one.

• Scam: there's a scam email autour, supposed to come from a "Windows Live Account"

  I wanted to just warn you that there is a scam email autour, supposed to come from a "Windows Live Account" saying that your about to be closed if you do not provide account details [name of user, password, date of birth, etc.] so that your account can be "improved." The email is poorly written [bad grammar, etc.], but lists the corporate name of Microsoft and the address at the bottom.
