• Fake call? I received a call today from someone claiming to be Windows Support

  original title: fake call?

  Today, I got a call from someone claiming to be Windows Support, saying he was getting my computer error messages. I (stupidly) allowed remote access to my computer and I was told that there were a great many virus that needed to be removed or it would break. While he was trying to sell my software I bcan suspect and ended the call. Now, I am very worried that if it was a fake call, could he have installed something on my computer, or access personal information, and how do I know?

  Please read the responses from the link at the end.
  Pay attention to what Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP.
  Already, you let the sammer with access remotely. Nothing else short of reinstalling Vista and change your account and the password will save your computer.
  Do it NOW.

• I received a call today from someone who claims to be from windows

  Hello

  my antivirus expired a few days ago and since my pc has been slow and does not start on a number of occasions so update internet security was already a priority, but today I got a call to the United Kingdom from a woman who sounded Asian. My phone reception was poor and I could barely hear what she was saying half the time, but she said he was calling from windows and said that my PC is downloading from several viruses that have access to my personal data and sending it. She told me to turn on my pc so that she could show me where to lay the problem and how to solve it, she said also that I had been sent a message windows or a warning. I told her 3 or 4 times that I had not had my laptop available, claiming that it was in my car of partners before the message finally seemed to sink, she asked what would be the right time to call me back and I said after 18:00 Fortunately, I am familiar with remote access facilities and became suspicious immediately when told she was calling from windows and therefore , I'm not going to follow other instructions later today it must call back - surprisingly seems to have no message or alerts Windows as she claimed - I just hope that others are on their guard against scams like this.
  Thank you

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  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/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.

• I received a call from someone claiming to be a representative of Microsoft

  I just got a call from someone claiming to be a representative of Microsoft to report that my network downloads could be accompanied by unwanted files without my knowledge.  I know it's a scam, but I played along anyway.  The representative asked me to press the keys Ctrl + key Microsoft Logo at the same time.  Of course I hung up immediately, but I can't find in any of my research, what will make this combination of keys.  Can anyone advise, please.  Thank you.

  Original title: what is CTRL + touch Logo Microsoft do?

  It is a scam. This combination of keys does nothing. Then, my guess is that they will tell you that he was supposed to do something and work on you from here to get info on your machine. Microsoft never does unsolicited phone calls.

  I received an e-mail from 'e' of what appears to be a microsoft Web site, they tell me my site will be closed down if I don't provide them with certain information, including the password etc, grammar seems somewhat imperfect, something on the network running slow and they (you) will have to clean (check) accounts This note was sent, I ignored the original e-mail from 'e' weeks but just received a notice/final warning that if I don't answer to my account will be closed to the down and out, it's from Microsoft.

  It is not good enough, as far as I'm concerned.

  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
  If you leave them in your computer, who knows what they were doing or where
  What 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. after reinstallation of Windows, change all your passwords.
  especially one of the banks or other financial sites. Once again, even do
  If you have just made.

  Since they have perhaps installed a recorder of strikes, changing just your
  Passwords may not be good enough.

  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.

• Received a call today about my Microsoft Office

  We received a call a few weeks of 'technical support', (the connection was bad, so has not heard if he said Microsoft", telling me that my computer has issues an error message and there phone to help me fix.)  First of all, I said my computer was broken, that he did not believe me.  So I said I called technical support.  He said no, my IP address showed the error, that is why he is phoning.  I said, if there is an error, I can fix it myself.  His reply "no, this isn't a mistake, you can fix it.  If you go to your computer and give me access 5 minutes I can repair it for you"it became enough stress for ant.  Which I never said, 'thank you. Good Bye' and he hung up.

  This morning, we receive a call from someone who says they come from Microsoft and he calls about our Office of Microsoft.  It was early in the morning, my husband is not tech-savvy, he said that it was not a good time and can call back you later?

  I guess it's also a call not an official Microsoft representative?  (that I did not in any request for support?).  Is this correct?

  I tell myself that I should be ready when they call back.

  These people State they want Microsoft and they want me to connect to a site for more information about a Trojan virus that is possibly in my computer.

  They say they are technology solutions and receive errors to Microsoft from my computer.  They are difficult to understand and speak quickly... are not legitimate, because I asked them to tell me the IP address and error report.  They passed me to others and I mentioned that I am a researcher and I'd like to get this resolved - please give me the IP address... they hung up on me!

• Received a call from the agent to inform that they are with the Windows Service Center, is this a hoax?

  I had a pohone call from someone in India who says he works for the Windows Service Center.  The number they gave me to call back was 13212806757.  Finally, I clung to the top.  Is it a hoax?

• 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.

  John

  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.

• When can I remove photos from the iPhone by making sure they are saved in the cloud?

  When I can I free up space on my iPhone 6, deletion of photos/videos, ensure that they are saved in the cloud?
  When I buy more space on the cloud, it is to iCloud, iCloud Drive, iCloud photo library?
  Too confusing...

  iCloud is a synchronization service, not off of storage of the unit. That means that it is not designed to "free space" on your phone by moving your photos and videos to iCloud. All photos will remain synchronized between your phone and iCloud.

  You can select the feature to OPTIMIZE, significantly reduce the space that take your photos on your phone.

  When you upgrade your iCloud space, it's for all features in iCloud, as backup space, iCloud disk space and so on.

  If you really want the maximum space on your phone, you can import your pictures and videos on a PC and then delete them from your phone. It does use icloud photo library.

  Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support
