This is a scam that last for years. Microsoft never does unsolicited phone calls. Is calling, Microsoft, a scam? Report the scam Scams by e-mail or web: how to protect yourself It's a real call from Microsoft? Avoid scams to phone for tech support Do not fall for phony phone technical support Aggressive, persistent Windows tech support fraudsters continue to track consumers Phone call from Microsoft windows scam Hello I received a phone call saying he was Microsoft Windows and there are system reported that my computer was full of viruses and malware, and they said that my computer was sending viruses in e-mails that they lock my email account in order to protect others. They knew my name and said they could make me a lot if I could prove that I was learned as they need my bank details to level from 4 years of life support that will continue with new computers to replace old. I stupidly gave details as he said that if I did it would install antivirous in the computer as a dinner he says my current software wasn't good. Then he forced me to enable remote assistance and took me to the purchase for Business Package of distance page help for New World Services Inc. and forced me to enter my data I did. After completing the session, I received an email of New World Services Inc., saying that I had bought the business package and looking upward found only for four years. I then went to my Bank and the cashier told me it was a scam and I got mannaged to cancel the card before it empied my account although New World Services Inc. did take £252.00 my account and told them about the scam and that I don't want there services and do not call me. I always get calls saying they are Microsoft Windows or they are malicious and calling about my computer with virus software and when I don't, thank you and hung up there have been moments when someone else says the exact same words as little as an hour later, well that people call regularly as now I know most of them as soon as they speak. They installed ammyy to allow access through my firewall to send windows logs them so with selected McAfee frirwall and ammyy blocked as they had shown me the observer of events the adminastrative events and said cuircles reds are virouses and yellow triangles are malware. When I said that the red circle is when I did a forced when troubleshooting stop where I pressed the button for a few seconds. Then I got a phone call saying could I turn on my computer as the info from my computer that has virouses and malware had said. If blocking ammyy had worked as before they were able to tell red any yellow order of events. So I then removed my computer ammyy and that they would not receive the ball more. When after I dial to get phone calls not the last call, I get when they called and get that they do not have the number of appellants and it has afflicted me that sometimes there was as little as an hour between calls, it seems I'd barr the number of fraudsters and barr New World Services Inc. If they continue to call and if need be I have to change my phone number. 1. contact your credit card company, if you had given the scammer, your credit card number. -Cancel the card and ask for a replacement with different identification number. 2. contact your bank. 3. If you saw the crook of remote access to your computer, it is compromised. 4. talk to your local law enforcement... If you want to go that far. 5. change the phone number. Phone calls from "microsoft." Every two weeks I get a call from what sounds like an Indian according to the company, indicating that they are microsoft and note that my computer sends reports of errors to microsoft, they want access to my computer to show me the 'mistakes', let know me it will be cool and ask my bank details. I refuse all and ask them not to phone again. It's probably all a scam? It's a scam. There have been several peeps asking and reporting recently the same thing here. Phone call from Microsoft Technical Department? I just got a phone call from someone who said they were by Microsoft and I have an internal virus and wanted to connect to my computer. It's for real? He gave me a call back number and it was 425-247-0940. He said he was from the Technical Department of Microsoft.

He gave me a call back number and it was 425-247-0940. He said he was from the Technical Department of Microsoft. It is a popular scam. Microsoft has no unsolicited phone calls. Better to hang up immediately. Phone calls from Microsoft technical team I had phone calls from the "team microsoft technical" eager to help with my computer as it is slow. they take me in "teamviewer" which I didn't like. are these people for real? If you first contact then they are crooks. MS will NEVER ' you call MS have no. WAY OF KNOWING that there is a problem with your computer.

Someone called me and told me that she calls me from Microsoft and said some malware is installed in my computer and she told me to turn on your computer and do the instruction, she tells me. I do not trust it because it's weird to have a call from microsoft on Saturday evening at 7:00. I said what happened if I didn't, she told me that she disconnects my server computer and tell my provider to block my IP address! I asked his emp ID, name and Department she calls, it just pass the phone to his supervisor, and when I insist on my view that I'm not you trust, he told me that you don't have any technical information. and it was very very rude... Finally I hung upward and the lady called me again and gave me this info: name: Abam Sorgr, empID: 21536 Windows operation system Dept., at Montreal, Canada, she gave me her employee ID:21536, the phone, her name was 65391989 which don't belonge to the Canada. I told him I check from microsoft and you can call me tomorrow. and now I have no idea? These phone calls are usually of a person representing Windows rather than Microsoft, but in any case, the call was nothing else than 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 (e.g. RCMP). 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! Please do not take into account these calls and hang up immediately. On another note, if you have problems with your computer, please do not hesitate to post a description of the situation and the error messages you received in those forums. We would be happy to help you. (information staff unnecessary or requested !) Annoying phone calls from Microsoft! Who is this company that guard who claims to be a Microsoft partner saying: I have bugs on my hard drive and then wants remote access to my PC to fix? If it is geniune Microsoft needs to sort because these people hell-bent on security, but you don't know who they are, from Adam, they could be anyone? Hi Trina,. It's a SCAM! Microsoft does not make that neither have they partners that do and don't they hire contractors or individuals or even to find volunteers to do. There are probably thousands of these companies out there do every day - we get two or three posts like this (or more) each day ask about it. You are lucky who have recognized the scam enough not to be sucked in and eventually identify theft, infections, hacking your computer, convince you to buy software or services you either did not need or that do not really exist at all and all sorts of nefarious stuff. You'd be surprised how much contact us AFTER THAT that they realized they had been duped asking what to do. Microsoft knows this is happening, but with these companies popping up like dandelions, or closing and changing names when discovered and operating mainly from abroad, it would take an army of lawyers to sue each other. They do the best they can, but they are just too many and more added every day. People need to pay attention to these things. They occur not only by telephone, but also by e-mail, instant messaging, mail and all the ways imaginable. Forget not that Microsoft doesn't this and hang up or remove the emails or messages or mail from someone claiming that they do because they know the information on your computer or that you want to get information from you to confirm your account so that it will not be closed and asking you your name of user and password and all sorts of other personal information. Microsoft DO NOT! I'm glad you don't get captured by these crooks and save yourself a big headache. Continue to use the same caution and you should do fine. Thanks for writing. Good luck and best wishes!
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. It is better to avoid being scammed 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.
