• 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.

• Received a call from phone scam someone saying my computer is infected with the virus and malware

  original title: support for pc rj

  I recently received a call from someone called Mark of pc rj support and they said that my computer is infected with viruses and malware. Immediately, I hang up and called my computer technician who went to my place and said: my computer is absolutely perfect... This chap Mark said he also is an employee of Microsoft, which I highly doubt. He asked me to download something that my antivirus detected as virus...

  I would like to ask microsoft to focus on this

  Its fake. Ignore it. There are a lot of posts here, saying: it's a scam. And this has nothing to do with Microsoft. And MS (and everyone else) are aware of this

• 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 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?

  Hello momoftwoboys,

  This thread has been created in the Windows Vista files, records and research forum. the Microsoft moderation team has moved this thread on the Forum of programs.

• 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?

  YES. In service centers, YOU call them all first, is not the other way around, lol. Just hang up you may feel like you to be rude, but they are much worse... Conning out you as much money as they can! ;)

• I received a call from the "Department of microsoft technology.

  The appellant wanted to I go to my computer, go to start, select run, and he could help me with an error message that they were receiving. He said that I was infected by a Virus. I've been a little suspisious so I asked him for the phone number of the tech Department, he gave me a number and I called him. The lady who answered the phone was very surprised and said that the number is in no way affiliated with microsft. If there is a reason why microsoft if want to contact me, let me know and I'd be happy to call if I can find a phone number.

  Thanks Kevin

  These scam calls are usually of a person representing Windows rather than Microsoft, but in any case, the call was nothing else than a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

  Reported people on these calls for a person who represents Windows (note: not Microsoft).

  It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.

  Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.

  Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site! Please do not take into account these calls and hang up immediately.

  On another note, if you have problems with your computer, please do not hesitate to post a description of the situation and the error messages you received in those forums. We would be happy to help you. (information staff unnecessary or requested !)

  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.

• Received a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft, it is a call or a scam?

  Hi all

  I live in Switzerland, but am British and a mac user (no groans please) although I Mac office installed.
  In any case, tonight I received a call from an Asian woman of this phone number 00441865600154, the 1st time, I pressed the wrong button and cut them but they were recalled to work and she said she was from MS and my computer downloaded hacking software and had it flashed an alert at Microsoft. The line was very very bad and I've been cut called the number back and I just domestic type normal BT mail voice... scam or real?
  MS have the ability to track these things, and how they know my phone number to the House Switzerland?
  
  I am a little freaked by the present, any help would be greatly appreciated.

  It is a scam, Microsoft does not call for end-users, because I don't think that they follow everyone. All calls more like this contempt please and offer the information for them. Total scam.

  They probably bought a list of phone numbers from somewhere or they get telephone directories in Europe. Not too sure about all other methods. That would be my guess.

  I hope this helps.

  Those that are known scams.

  Don't always believe what someone says if they call you. This applies to almost anything.
