• 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

• Received a call from the scam making pretend to be Windows technician

  Original title: the license expires

  Received a call today by a technician from Windows indicating they received the error messages from my computer and that my IP address has been disconnected.  I bought my computer in 2004 and never received any notice.  He said that some of my programs may stop working if I did not renew the license.  My question is - is - it a legal representative of Windows or just someone trying to sell a product?

  (1) "licensing" do not expire.

  (2) no MS gets your computer error messages. In fact, they would have no way of knowing something about you.

  (3) it is not a representative of Windows. Microsoft does not make unsolicited calls.

  (4) it is a well known scam talked again and again in these forums.

  (5) they do not sell anything. They want access to your computer and your credit card. You know what's going to happen.

• I received a call from the microsoft agent to 'fix' my error messages.

  Just got a call from a third party claiming that my computer sends so many error messages to microsoft it may crash.  I'm asked to login so that they can point out to me.  They refuse to give a number to call back.  Said they are hired by microsoft to do this work.  Sounds like this is a scam.  Anyone can confirm Yes or not?

• Department of Microsoft technology

  I received a phone call from someone claiming to be from the Department of Microsoft Technology. He said that there was a problem with my hard drive of the computer and he called for help me fix. Unfortunately, I fell the site he said: www.us13.tk and it led me to this number and password that he wanted to give myself to him but I felt bad about the situation, so I ended the call and contacted the geek squad tech support who told me that it was a scam and it detected a handle leak on my computer of the meeting I have geek team withdraw Monday in the store. So my question is who can I report this crook to? His "name" was Eric James and here is my identification numbers of the appellant said that he called of: 661-746-0240, 661-748-0241, 661-748-0240, 323-489-7476 here is a number that he gave me when I asked for a callback number in case we have been disconnected: 213-457-3846 please give me some advice as to who to report this scam. I think I came out pretty easy and do not know what is would be if I let him take over the computer. I tried the Microsoft Corporation to be aware of this type of house call, claiming to be Microsoft Technical Support. Thank you.

• I received a call from &#60; removed &#62; telling me that they would help my dose of my windows problems. Is it a scam?

  I received a call from the saying that they would help my dose of my windows problems. Is it a scam?

  Hello

  They are cold, you try to pick up the 'business' calling

  It's a scam.

  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.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And 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:

  • Windows repair center

• I have received several calls from a company called the Technical Department of "eprotectionz" offering to get rid of the virus, is this a hoax?

  Hi there, hope someone can help me on this issue.

  I received several calls from a company called 'eprotectionz' technical department which proposes to rid your computer of an "infection" (no virus) apparently slowing down Windows. In a first time, I finished the callwhen they began to ask questions about my computer.  They are appatently a global company - I am based in Australia and on checking their site, they operate out of the Australia and other countries. Their phone number here in Aust is 02-8091-0114. This company is legitimate.  I become more suspicious when they ask to enter my computer remotely while I followed the instructions to remove the so-called infection.  I don't trust everybody these days and trust no one! What do you think?? Thanks in advance,

  Australia. Take a look at this, mate.

• I received a call from Microsoft Security Department

  Hey! I received a call from someone that they are of the Microsoft Security Department. They told me to visit www.microsoftantiscam.webs.com/support and download a program called Ammyy admin. Is it legitimate or not? They told me that they were legitimate, showing me that they knew my computer number or something.

  Quick answerr please!

  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.

  If you have given them access to your PC and then what you do will depend on the type of information you store on it, and how to use it. Personally, I would, at a minimum:

  ·        Change all passwords that may have been compromised. Doing this on another PC you can

  have been infected and send the new password to scammers.

  ·        Make a clean (including a format) install of Windows or restore the factory State. You will lose all

  data, so back to a separate drive. If you do not feel confident to do this to go

  professional/expert help.

  ·        Check the above return for viruses using at least two independent analysers of up-to-date antivirus.

  ·        Tell your bank, credit card companies, etc., what happened.

  ·        Watch for suspicious charges/payments on your credit cards and lodging.

  ·        Watch your e-mail accounts for any suspicious activity.

  ·        Consider to tell the local police / authorities.
