  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).

  No, 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.

• Just got an email from Adobe to reset the password that I didn't ask for reset.

  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.

  Oh, just to confirm it is used as a reminder to change my password once a while.

• I got an email from Hotmail ready to send and it disappeared.

  My hotmail e-mail message was ready to send to multiple recipients, and it just disappeared. The title and the address is still there, but there is no copy of body. I checked in al other files, like "deleted", "drafts", "sent", or Inbox, but copying is not there. I don't know what happened, but I have to get the content of the message, if possible. I saved him for a few seconds in the case of project and when I went to access, the usual message said 'continue composing this message' and when I clicked on the message, it was nothing. What should I do? I desperately need the body of this email. Help, please!

• How am I able to import emails from hotmail in Windows Outlook Express for Windows 98?

  My grandfather is not familiar with Windows 98, I understand that it is a version absolete. It is impossible to access his e-mail from your Windows Live Hotmail account I would like to know how to import messages from a hotmail account in Outlook Express for Windows 98. For any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

  Hello

  To import contacts and email from Hotmail addresses in your Outlook Express address book:

  • Set up access to your Hotmail account in Outlook Express.
    • If you already have contacts in your address book Outlook Express for the current identity and want to make sure that you only import Hotmail contacts, create a new Outlook Express identity for the Hotmail account.
  • Select Tools | Address book... from the menu in Outlook Express.
  • Choose Tools | Synchronize now in the menu of the address book.
    • If this choice is not available, make sure that you do not share contacts between Outlook Express and Outlook. Close and restart Outlook Express if you have made any changes to the contact sharing settings.
  • To import the contacts in a program other than Outlook Express e-mail, export the address book from the current identity and use the import feature of your mail client to add contacts from the .csv file.

• Microsoft never call their users? I just got a call from someone who said they were from Microsoft and he wanted me to run something.

  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.

  Fake 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.
