I think I'm getting ripped off! And others too!
I get calls and emails from someone claiming to be microsoft technical support. Always say me that someone is illegally using my internet to do business. They want to charge me $100 to take action. What should I do?
Tell them you have a MAC, and they will cling.
I get the these calls two or three times a month.
Microsoft will never make such calls.
For a more positive experience, if you search youtube for "Microsoft phone scam" there are a few funny conversations, people have had with these people.

A rep is currently approximately for 2 hours now. She called to tell me, and it seems too hokey to me. A representative contact you? I think she's getting ripped off?
Your question is not clear, but if you want to say, "Someone called my mom pretending to be technical support, logged on to his computer and has been associated with for two hours now" then the answer is Yes, she is in imminent danger of having his computer corrupted, damaged or stolen from him information. Read here:
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx
You should have your mother back up all the files (photos, movies, music, etc.) that it cannot afford to lose and immediately clean up his computer and restores in factory new condition. Check the manuals of your computer or the web support site for more details.
Finally, it must communicate with banks, investment firms, etc. and inform them of what has past. They will advise what needs to be done to protect its banking assets or accounts online might be hacked by these people.

I just need creative cloud for a month, so I signed up for the $ 20 per month. I was charged 3 times when I used only the first month. So, basically, adobe stole my money when I have not yet used their product. I tried to cancel, but they want me to pay 50% of what remains. It's totally un-American of them and it should be against the law or something. I will get my lawyers soon involve more than likely.
Hi Jacobi,
I apologize for the experience you had.
Please see the General conditions for subscription in the link below:

OEAC County drop off, please help
I saw the file count OEAC when I did a search for something else. I tried to open it with Adobe and then with WordPerfect 12. Nor opened it and I can't change the icon to the original state (I think it looked like a page of paper?)
The OEAC account now has an icon of Wordperfect.
I think that the account has something to do with e-mail, I'm afraid I can have messed up my emial?
Any help appreciated.
Thank you ron3033
Hi Ron,
You are more than welcome
The oeaccount files are not really intended to have any association - that is to say that they are not supposed to be double click on it to open it in a particular program.
However, I would recommend just leave things as they are, because it won't cause problems with your system.
