Hello
I just got a call from the service center of the sentence above, Microsoft asked them to call. They said that I got the virus bluebird on my computer and it would break in 2 days! I guess it's a total scam

I just got a call from someone who said they were from Microsoft. It was obviously of the India. 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.

I explained I mcaffe Security Center and she said this would not be effective against the problems that I made my excuses and hung up, it's a real phone call or I'm just ignore it?
my laptop has been running a little slow on the internet, but I assumed it was because of the age of the computer?any help thank you gratefully received chrisFake phone calls to technical support
You did the right thing.
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.

I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer.
Original title: hoax call?I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer. They know this, because I have generated error reports. When I asked how I could be sure who they were they led me to a screen with a ref to no error report. and he cites correctly for me. When I was asked to sign up for control of my computer for them to correct these errors, I refused and hung up. What happens with all those errors that we report to microsoft when our computers generate the error reports and how these appellants knew my error report reference.
Fake phone calls to technical support
Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, donot give access to your PC, not give them all the money and donot go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.
Error reports contain no personally identifiable information. These people are hoping that your system recently sent to Microsoft to make their call seems more legitimate.

Microsoft does ever not requested for telephone calls of support or security.

Just got an email from Adobe, it asked me to click on the link to reset the password, but I've never asked to reset my password, which is strange? This email is from Adobe.
In any case, I changed my password just in case.

"permanent suspension" if I can't do this... links to all the pages from Microsoft including the privacy statement... I will not answer but worry that if it is a scam people. Any thoughts?Hello
Its a SCAM!
In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), funded in part by the Bureau of Justice Assistance
(BJA).
http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspxNo, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
identity.Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited
phone calls to help you fix your computer

I received phone calls from the apparent 'technical Microsoft LCC online'?
I continue to receive phone calls daily from the apparent 'technical Microsoft LCC online' they say mistakes keep produce and seem very determined to get in touch, but I'm suspicious because I don't know how they got my phone number and they will not stop me. Knows one of them? It's a legitimate support service or they're trying to scam me?

It's a scam and with various names and phone numbers, is
becomes more common lately.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.

I just got an iPhone 6 and when I plugged in my laptop, he asked if I wanted to restore my new phone. I said yes! But unfortunately chose the wrong backup restore with. Is there a way I can go back to how my phone was before?
Yes, you can as long as you understand that you will lose everything that is currently on the phone.
(1) settings > General > reset > erase content and settings
That will make the iPhone as new. Then, during the installation process it again once will ask you if you want to restore from an existing backup. You can then restore the scheduled backup.
