• Calls from 661-748-0240 saying they are Microsoft?

  On 29 October 2013 approximately 11:00, I got a call from this number: 661-748-0240.

  The person at the other end are identified as a Microsoft employee, they also gave me his name (which I don't remember).

  They said that Microsoft has gotten more than 500 messages from my computer in the last 5 days saying there was an error on my computer if it has not been corrected within 15 days, they would have to force a restart / reinstall on my PC remotely to get rid of the errors / hack / virus. They said that they would not have to do this because I would lose all data on my PC if it happened. He reminded me that they did this about 18 months ago.

  I told them I had partitions and had that concern, he insisted that I would lose all data? He said it would have cost me about $2000.00 for data recovery, and that is why they would not have to force a reinstall on my PC remotely. He said something to be official Microsoft employees again and how he knows it if it wasn't.

  Despite the indicators are going in my head I always I was tied it and went to this page to download an e-mail program:

  https://secure.logmeinrescue.com/customer/code.aspx

  He had me to enter the security code: 485801 (this code no longer works).

  They used this messenger programme connect and access my PC remotely:

  Support - LogMeInRescue.exe (blue circle with a white cross in the middle of an icon)

  With the e-mail program a John M? resumed and they asked for Remoting and I gave it to him by ignorance. He sought my logs of errors and could not have access. The error logs were not on.

  I fell that there is 18 months (as mentioned above) and paid the money on my credit card, I don't know how. They used an aggressive remote registry tool that destroyed my PC and I've sat and watched as they did. I had to do a total reinstall (I didn't lose access to my other partitions with total reinstallation, I also two other OS on my PC for all these questions).

  This time they were saying the same thing and access remotely. I almost fell for it again. I give them access remote questioning why they needed to do. But once they asked for money again, I thought that it is a scam.

  They gave me two options one a time event for $99.00 or a term of two years for $199.00.

  I told them that I don't have any money right now, what is true, and I would call them back. They stopped the remote access and gave me this number to remember: 1-855-306-9026 this number is a "United Tech Support', supposed to be used by many institutions, including Microsoft to manage the various issues.

  http://unitedtechsupports.com

  A search on this number gives sites where people mention that there are a lot of people different scams have received this number and it is used by cyber criminals.

  I want Microsoft to comment on calls from this number, they had to take care of this issue before.

  Please let us know if it is a scam (which I can hardly imagine what isn't) or not. And what I should have let them through ignorance have remote access to my PC.

  Deeply concerned about questions like that.

  Its a scam - http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  If you receive a call as let them NEVER can visit his profile and NEVER give them any information or money.

  Just to be safe, at least, if they have access to your computer, it should update your anti-virus package and running a scan completes, then download, install, update and run a scan complete with free Malwarebytes. Change the passwords you use esp and e-mail online banking accounts, etc.

• Received a phone call from someone saying they are Microsoft and my system is having problems.

  Is - this kosher?

  You or you have at any time authorized someone to communicate with PC users directly by phone to tell them there is all kinds of wrong with their PC?  I frequently get calls from people claiming to be the call of Microsoft/Windows askng me to turn on my PC so they can hel me get rid of viruses and defects.

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  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)

  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, you should contact your bank, to explain, and change password.

  If you use your online credit card, you should cancel it and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way you'd know you were free of them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  See you soon.

• I keep getting phone calls from people with heavy accents who say they call from microsoft and the need to check my computer because of all the error messages I'm supposed to be getting.is it real

  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:

• received a call saying they were technical support from Microsoft, they called for my pc was hacked and sent error messages. I fell for this scam.

  I fell for what you all seem to feel is a "scam."

  I got a call saying they were technical support from Microsoft, they called for my pc was hacked and sent error messages. I was not too su re, but they had me enter a code on the pc, and it showed a list of more than 50 error messages, they said that they had received. Then, they control that is given to them for the mouse and seized a lot of information showing me the problems. Then he said warns me on; those pirates I needed a special program. "Alpha PC maintenance" and for 3 years, it would be $ 135. Now I don't know if it was the real scoop or I fell for a big pile of *! I could use the theory, I'm a senior, but I think I should have been smarter. What should I do now that they've been in the pc? Thank you JAFTX

  To add to what you already said, inform your bank company or credit card if you do banking online of any form or if you have given your debit or credit card number to the caller. Do the faster you it, the faster you can arrest the appellant empty your account....

  I received phone calls recently from a person saying they are with Microsoft and that my computer has been downloading unnecessary files.  They claim they know because the error and warning messages are sent to the Inbox of Microsofts.  I am reluctant to talk more with them.

  How can I be sure of who's calling?  In addition, if it is true, how can I check my computer?

  Hello

  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:

  https://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.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.

  They are * not * Microsoft. This is a complete scam and one that has become very common these days. Do anything they tell you to do and hang up on them.

In any case, he said that there are problems with my computer and it asked me to do something, I would not.  He hung up. He told me to click the button of windows on my keyboard. Then he told me type something in and running. But I refused. I said, how end I call Microsoft and give them your name... HE HUNG UP.

  Hello DianeMcGettigan,

  It is simply one of the many scams that are doing the tour.

  Unless you have a prepaid support contract with Microsoft, then Microsoft will never contact you by phone, mail or e-mail about problems with your PC. You did while refusing to allow him access to your PC. All they want to do is to have access to your PC, so they can steal personal data (banking etc.) on your part.

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

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  But NO error message is sent from your computer to anyone.

  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.
