I just got an email from "Microsoft Office Mail" indicating that I won 450 k $ pounds worth of some Microsoft - Compac lottery. Where to send a copy of this to the people of Microsoft?
This is clearly not true. Or, at least, it is not an official letter from Microsoft. There are some red in this Email as; flags "the Internet Microsoft Windows users', which makes no sense. I would ignore this message and block, the one who sent it.

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

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.

How do I send the email from OSB with mail server that requires SSL or STARTTLS
Hello world.
My boss ask me on OSB configuration to support send an email to my corporate email server (using https chanel) and e-mail client (some of them is gmail that require SSL or STARTTLS).
I have configured the OSB as tutorial in this link: http://blogs.oracle.com/christomkins/entry/sending_an_email_from_oracle_s
The OSB cannot send emails from email account set up but it cannot connect to the mail server. I think the reason is secured with SSL or TLS authentication.
There are a few problems similar to mine in this forum, but nobody has has solved yet.
Can you tell me the solution you know? Any suggestion is appreciated.

CUONG PhamHi Cuong,
As far as I KNOW, by email via the protocol SSL is not yet supported and is planned for the next version. You can lift SR with support for information.

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 just got a call from someone who said that they call microsoft Windows
I just got a call from someone who said that they call microsoft Windows that they have received the error messages from my computer stating that my computer is slow because of problems of malware & spyware. 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.
