• phone call starts when I go on google on my iphone 6

  Hello

  This problem started recently, probably just after that latest iOS update. I have an iphone 6 s, iOS 9.3.1. When I'm in my car (Audi A4, 2012), bluetooth on and I use my phone to do a Google search, a phone call to my phone will automatically start (!). The call continues unless I hung up manually. What happens here?

  How you try to Google search? How do you research? You say that research appealed to phone via Bluetooth from your car to your phone number?

• Phone call saying that I am entitled to a refund?

  Today I received a phone call from a man with an Indian accent calling himself Andy Smith. He said he was calling from the "Centre de Service Windows", its identification number has been WT0208 (standing WT for Windows technical) he told me that I was entitled to a refund of $241 AUS and I thought scam? But I went with it, he made me get this link off www.teamviewer.com and open it and then tell him the ID and the password, then forced me to go to Western union and click on send money. At this point, I thought "wow take a minute now, why I send money when I'm the one to receive the refund? He said that, because I've been connected to them through teamviewer to send them, I had to make an account and have at least 300 books in my account. At this point, I got really over and told him do not call me again and hung up.

  I'm sure it was a scam, but I just wanted to check, someone else had the same?

  Hello this message comes from the Netherlands. My mother-in-law received a call from the same 'gentleman', a man of Indian sounding named Andy, who told him that she could not use his laptop computer, but that he would help her through difficulties. Luckely my mother-in-law had the sense to say; I'll call my son in law and you can call in 5 minutes back. I get in a few minutes and the 'gentleman', called once again, he talked to my mother in law and she said. Here's someone for you. So I told the man, I was of the Dutch police, cubercrime and wanted his full name and company name. No No, he wanted to talk to Mrs....? . He didn't know the name of my mother in law. So I asked him again for his name and company and that he stopped the call. His name was Andy from Microsoft and he called a number in Holland 0243840015. When I tried to call this number it responds. I think the number is used as a decoy. Maybe someone can do something with this information.

  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.

• 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.

• Phone calls from a person claiming to be from microsoft a SCAM?

  Everyone has just received a phone call from someone with a foreign accent CLAIMING to be from Microsoft? and they said that I got the virus, ect on my computer and they wanted me to go on the computer and I guess = open a site that would PROBABLY destroy my computer... I told the man twice, that I had no problems and thanked him for the call and HUNG up...

  I heard there is a SCAM where someone from another country wants to go to a certain web site current and there wher you download something that ruins your system. I'm not stupid and I quickly hung up.

  (I have Dial-up internet so I couldn't talk on the phone and be online at the same time..) ... When I'm out here = I dial * 69 and see if I get a phone number... at this JERK.   and if anyone is interested I'll let you know what is this number.

  - - - - -

  Edit: a post later

  I did a * 69 as the number is unknown... as expected... I thought it was a SCAM and immediately hung up on him... and gave him no information or access to my computer.

• Phone call from pirate

  Saturday, I received a phone call from a guy who claims to be a MS tech.  Said my computer was infected by the virus and has been ready to send malicious virus anywhere on the internet.  He actually gave me what he claimed, it was my computer ID... which he had to prove that he was who he said he was.  It really looks like a pirate for me call.  I hung up the phone.  Am I correct that Microsoft Techs don't make these calls?

• Strange phone calls claiming to be from Microsoft Support...

  Did someone received phone calls of a contender unlisted number to the Technical Support team of Microsoft in what concerns the Elimination of malware and ask you to follow the steps to access your computer? I hung up on them because I didn't think it was legitimate.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature 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 issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• Phone calls scam

  Someone just called me to say they were soft micro and called people in the region that pc has been infected.  I asked how they could call it everyone and she said they could and called the people who was most infected the pc here.  The she called from, there were 804-466-9633 and she said her name was Anita or something like that.  I hung up the phone when she couldn't give me a number at microsoft.  I'm sure it was something she wanted me to on my pc to give control of, but it was not yet on time and I hung up on her.

  We thank you and hope this helps someone else.

• Received the phone call from support, is this a scam?

  Just got a "phone call from an Indian call center, arguing that my PC send malicious messages. They wanted me to run a Prefetch. I pretended that I he had just had a power cut and could not operate my computer. After asking SEVEN times how he got my ' phone he hung up.

  Just got a "phone call from an Indian call center, arguing that my PC send malicious messages. They wanted me to run a Prefetch. I pretended that I he had just had a power cut and could not operate my computer. After asking SEVEN times how he got my ' phone he hung up.

  I had 4 phone calls during the month. The first, I was late for an appointment, and I had to go. Fortunately, I had time to think and realized it was a scam... Be caught unawares gives them the advantage

  The second, I knew it was a scam. I listened and then never said thank you and hung up.

  During the 4th, I was ready for a little fun. First of all, I unplugged the ethernet from the modem, just to be doubley sure.

  He guided me through his wicked manouevers, and every time I lied I did. When it asked me to press the Microsoft icon to the right of the Ctrl key and 1, I said "I have an Apple on this key". He said 'you have a Mac. I said: 'no, I have Windows to the top. Microsoft icon beside the right Ctrl key. I can get my Mac computer to Windows with these keys. "He said"I'm confused"I answered:"have you not heard of the latest technology. It's called the computer Jekyll and Mr Hyde' at this stage that he hung up.

  The longer you keep him talking, the greatest of his phone bill will be and it loses time to scam someone else.

• Received a phone call that is supposed to come from Microsoft Help Desk all downloaded on my computer junk files! Is it a scam?

  I got an unexpected phone call this morning. The man at the other end is said to Microsoft Help Desk. He said he had an urgent problem with my computer. He said that, as part of the automatic updates download, my computer had downloaded some unwanted files likely to damage my computer. He said that the files would fill my drive causing my computer to grind to a halt and also undermine my security software, leaving my computer vulnerable to attacks. He wanted to sit in front of my computer and he would talk to me through fixing it. I did apologize and hung up. I now had two of these calls.

  The sounds of all of this as a scam to me! I have no way of verifying that this person has been Microsoft at all, and I can't imagine Microsoft never call someone at home like that. I guess it was someone trying to access my computer for criminal purposes. I couldn't find anything on the web site of Microsoft to think there was no truth in what in told me.

  Can anyone offer me any advice?
