• QTECH care? is this true or a scam?

  Hi, I got my lap top a few months ago and rarely use it. Shortly after I got it I got a call from care tech Q saying that my lartop has beem compromised, and they charged me $299 for unlock and get my laptop working again. Then a few weeks later, they called again and said I had to pay an additional $ $350 if I wanted to keep my laptop works well. They told me that they were somehow connected to HP, but now I wonder if I am taken for a ride. Last week, I received another call from them to want me to spend more money, and when I'm asked them they just hung up and never called back.

  I would appreciate an answer, because I feel like I've been royally duped.

  Thanks a lot olderlady

• Received an email from * is this legitimate?

  I therefore an email with an order ID that I did not, and this same order does not appear on this Web site nor it seems that its ID is legitimate... but when I googled the e-mail address which originated this order - *-I only get the legitimate results for apple, not only denouncing an illegitimate source. I think this is a phishing scam (or it can be also ransomware reason why I will not risk clicking on the apparently legitimate-looking email) - unless the address is indeed legitimate and in this case, someone posted somehow an order from my account without my authorization and which also does not appear on myorders.

  Someone has received emails from the above? Is it legitimate or not? Thank you

  < personal information under the direction of the host >

  Can you post the entire contents of the email (less direct personal information and deletion of the links)?

  It sounds very similar to a phishing scam. An email about an order that you never passed is very often, but not always, a scam. The address of e-mail may be legitimate, however, it can be misused and could not have been sent in fact from this address. If you think that it is a scam, you can send it to [email protected] , then delete it. But first, go to http://reportaproblem.apple.com and check to see if the so-called order appears here. If so, then the email is legitimate, and you can declare the purchase as not allowed in this Web page.

  You can see here to help with the identification of these emails and how to report them: avoid Phishing scams.
