• I get calls from a company that says they are MS, is - a scam?

  I get calls from a company that says they are Ms.  (last 4 times) they said that my computer reports that I get errors, and they want to use the observer for the team to go into my computer and help me. Is it a scam?

  Hello Margaux.730,

  Yes, it's a scam. Do not give them access to your PC, they will try to steal personal data such as bank details etc. When they call again just tell them you don't have a PC or simply hung up. Never provide personal details or credit card number because they are also after the money too.

  Unless you have a prepaid contract or have opened a support ticket no Microsoft will call you about your PC problems.

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

• Why do I get calls from microsoftabout my computers

  I regularly get calls from microsoft saying it is corrupt download on my computer, I feel there is something strange about these calls, they say, that they will talk about me through the procedure to clear the problem while I use my computer.

  This seems a little strange, why they do this, pourriez please let me know if it of the normal procedure or is it a call I should not take and hold on to the

  If please advise me if this is some kind of scam or is it a legitimate appeal, I'm not particularly experienced in computers and how they work so I can't decide whether it is authentic or not

• I received a phone call from someone representing windows indicating that they show that I get errors on my computer. Is - is this legitimate?

  I get phone calls from a person claiming to be windows saying that my computer might display errors and I have serious problems. He has a strongly accented voice and wants to connect to my computer so he can fix. Is - is this legitimate?

  No, it is NOT legitimate.  It's a scam.  Don't need to.  Microsoft does NOT call people like that.

  Good luck.

• 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.

• Received a call from hoax of Ammy

  Original title: scam Ammy

  I just received the phone call from Ammy scam.  I do not fall for her, told them I knew it was a scam and when I started to hang the Indian man very strongly accentuated asked if my registration number was XXXXxx.  It was the right number.  Yet once, I said this is a scam and hung up.  How did get my registration number?

  Hello

  What do you mean by registration No. ?

  Here's one possibility:

  Try to unmask the false Microsoft support crooks!

  
  

  Essential is that they have no way to know the details of your PC and try to trick you into thinking they have to earn your trust and to remove their scams.

  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. Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  Please see:

• I get calls from 999-910-0312 claiming to be Microsoft technical support. I don't know that it is a scam.

  When I ask how to get removed from their call list, they just hang on.

  When I ask how to get removed from their call list, they just hang on.

  Yes, of course it's a scam. I don't know of too many crooks who will happily put you on their "do not call" list

  What can be done to stop them? Unfortunately not much.

• anyone receive calls from computer warnings Windows Rep.about?

  said he went to Microsoft Windows on my computer made me do a start and assumed he was of Winow. Said I had a lot of problems and had to go through and the next thing there is a page, and it was all the mistakes, said there could be charges and came with 559 dollars. I refused and close the info. Says he will call again to conform to i chage my mind... it's my first time here.

  This is the second time iI received this call. People I spoke were East Indian, says it is Microsoft Windos > that's familiar to anyone else?

  It is a fairly common scam.  From what I've seen, he seems to be more prevalent in the United Kingdom.

  The right answer is to hang up if someone says that he or she "is to Microsoft."  Microsoft is never the unsolicited calls to Windows users.

  In no case allow any such appellant to have access to your computer and don't provide any personal information, including credit card information.

  You can also get a phone number on which you can recall and then report the incident to your local police.

• I get calls from guy with Indian accent claiming to be from Microsoft and want me to go to my computer to get rid of malware. Anyone?

  Called several times in recent weeks. I ran the Scanner of MS and nothing turns upward. Very skeptical about this appellant.

  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.

  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

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

• Get videos from camera to Windows Movie Maker

  I am new Windows Mov Mkr and my Sony camera. I downloaded videos from 'My Photos' file using the "PMB" program provided with the camera.  However, in trying to get these videos to edit them in WMM, I get the error message "too many methods to fire the event of." What does that mean? When I try to join the videos directly from the camera WILL, I don't seem to be able to cross the sony PMB approx. got a solution for this?

  More than likely that the files are not compatible with
  Movie Maker... I guess they are. MPG?

  Conversion of files to the. WMV format should
  produce better results:

  There are many converters available on the net... some
  free... some detail.

  The following freeware converter is just one example:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Format Factory (freeware)
  http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Format_Factory
  (the 'direct link' is faster download)
  (the file you want to download is: > FFSetup295.zip<>
  (FWIW... installation..., you can uncheck
  ('all' boxes on the final screens)
  (Windows XP / Vista / 7)

  First, you will need to decompress the file or just open the
  Drag > FFSetup295.exe< out="" of="" the="">
  and drop it on your desktop. To install left click.

  Next, after the download and installation of Format
  Factory... you can open the program and
  left click on the toolbar, the "Option" button and
  "Select an output folder to" / apply / OK.
  (this is where you find your files after they)
  are converted)

  Drag and drop your video clips on the main screen...

  Select "all to WMV" / OK...

  Click on... Beginning... in the toolbar...

  That should do it...

  Good luck...

• I get calls from someone who says he is from Microsoft, I asked to call back number, which is 650-989-1221 it is Microsoft?

  This man sounded like he was reading a script with an accent as the India, but he said he's in California... He said my computer is corrupt and sending signals and something else I don't remember. He said that it is from microsoft, but I told him not enything and ask for a number to call back later.

  This is a scam that has become increasingly common in recent years. Microsoft does not cold-call customers, so if you do not contact this 'service', don't give them access to your computer or personal information. Most of the time, they extort money (if you give them the remote control of your computer by going to the sites they tell you of to correct 'issues'), or at least the factory door programs and malware hidden on your computer.

  If you provide access to or information, you should be fine.

  There are a number of complaints or similar concerns registered by the other posters about the present; Unfortunately, there are many fictitious companies to try this type of scam, and international jurisdiction is find and their closing difficult.  The best option is just to ignore the calls for more ' we received your computer Windows error reports.

  Someone better informed than me, with links to the official pages of Microsoft FAQ about these phone scams will probably be along shortly.
