I get phone calls repeated from people with foreign accents saying that Microsoft receives several error messages from my computer. They are authentic?
The [usually Indian] appellants say they work for the Microsodt and are very persistent.
Hello
Yes, it's a SCAM! If they still call hang up!

No, Microsoft wouldn't you not solicited. Or they would know if errors exist on your
computer. So that's the fraud or scams to get your money or worse to steal your identity.
Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited

I just got a phone call (no number came as international) to say that Microsoft
I just got a phone call (no number came came as international) claiming to be from Microsoft and Muicrosoft are aware that my PC has programs that can cause my PC unwanted crash. They then asked me to turn on my pc while they could repair. This looks like a scam to me. Has anyone else had this type of call. I asked a lot of questions and the appellant was very vauge but insisting my PC was going to crash. The appellant gave me a number of 1786 6001340 I asked the appellant to put all this information in an e-mail message, which he said he would. We'll see if it happens. I think it is yet another scam that other users take note.
It is 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. See:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .
Microsoft does ever not requested for calls.
(such persons may use names other than Microsoft as well)

Disconnect all USB devices and see if the behavior stops. If so, one of your USB devices likely is faulty or has a bad driver. Search for updated drivers.

I continue to receive calls telephone of people with heavy accents who say they call Microsoft because of all tha error messages I'm supposed to be getting - which I don't get. I just got the phone with one and convinced him to remember on Friday at noon, Central time. He asked me to give him the remote control of my computer so that it can "fix." I can't believe its "real and he can't give me details about what the problems are." I wasn't about to let him have access to the computer I'm on right now because of his "unusual operating system and all the time and effort it took to get this set-up and at full load." I'll be at my weekend House when it calls Friday where I have a more conventional computer. Is this real or a hoax?
SCAM.
You have made the right choice. Do NOT give the scammer remote access, or your computer is "screwed".The next time the scammer call, hang UP.
Take a look at these phony support calls:

I have just started with a new internet provider and get phone calls from a source to say that they are windows and the need to access my computer because its infected in windows. It is this true.
No, it's a scam, ignore the call.
Just hang up, they are trying to steal your information or to install a virus on your PC.

No! Microsoft never this. It's a scam and with various
the names and phone numbers, those who become very common these days.In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
where 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. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
financial sites.

Corrupted e-mail
I get phone calls from a person telling me that my email is corrupt and trying to connect to my computer, so they can solve the problem. I have not heard any questions about msn email be corrupted. Want some answers.
Hi CLAUDEFRANCIS,
Microsoft introduces not calls to customers about technical assistance. More than likely the person calling you is a scam. For your protection, do not provide information personal to that person or him allows to access your machine remotely.

Original title: scams?
I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer. Normally, I just say that I don't have and hung up. Today, I took a little further and he said that they discovered that I had loads of malware/viruses etc and that they could identify with them. I was obviously very suspicious because he seemed to have my correct Windows ID number and with care on 'Run' he told me to type things like cmd eventviewer and inf where he referred to a file 1394.pnf. I stopped while he asked remotely to access my computer. However, I got a phone number 01916450337 and his P786000 id I noticed that many people are posting on your forum-is this another one of those scams?
Continue to put the phone down. They are all crooks.
They get you to open Event Viewer, because there are words such as 'critical' and 'error' along the this.

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.

phone calls purportedly from Microsoft
I get phone calls from an international source claiming to be Microsoft, telling me that my pc is threatened by the virus even if my own safety (BTnetprotectplus) make sure that I'm sure. The appellant, usually sounding Asian wants me to press the windows key and press R, then type something like eventvrw but the I think it's a kind of scan - can someone tell me please?
It's a SCAM for sure, Microsoft will not call you unless you ask them to call you. Ignore it and do not answer.
If this happen again, report to the fight against fraud center in your country.

Original title: my computer is corrupt and needs fixing!
I received calls from a person in India who said that they are Windows services centre telling me that they have received the error message saying that my computer is damaged, and they want to help me. But I have not received any error message on my screen. When I asked them how they got my number they said it's from the database of Windows. The number they gave me is 02921252715 and when I called the number of the person on the other end told me that they are a company called Windows e-solution, independent company and is not attached to Microsoft Windows. What should I do? Are these authentic calls and approved by Microsoft Windows?

How can I get Nitro PC installed properly, so it does not say that he may not support a file or the required codec, which it does in Windows Media Player, everything seems to go through there and Nitro prevents me from opening photos or electronic-mail/transfer their. Also, what are the appropriate programs to run files in the documents library and photos. recently, I lost all my documents, the files are there but now empty. It happened a little while before had spoken, by buying the GoFlex Seagate plug of iYogi I was stupid enough to buy their storys. Now that I told them that I used to pay $ 400 to renew my contract, which has more than a year and a half left in this regard that they were still treat me worse than ever. I even bought a program that is supposed to protect your bank account, but only have a debit card which they protect not only credit cards, it was not even mentioned in the contract or the sales pitch. The Seagate GoFlex is sitting here unplugged after that they could not challenge or whatever it is to recover after at least 4 attempts. Brief this cowboy got scalped, but if I can get the Nitro to block all my stuff I would be off to a good start to correct things. Also, I had a printer that was supposed to be a fax with all sorts of other gadgets they had me plug with a wire and wireless and never had to use the fax once and continue receiving invalid messages when I try to put in place something like snapfish, which seems to be an automatic link to my set of requirements. I'm lost.
Maybe their support/forums?
