• Received a phone call claiming to be from Microsoft

  Original title: phone scam?

  I received a call from someone claiming to be from Microsoft. He said that one of my computers was not related to obtaining updates and I had to fix it. He said that does not connect would cause my computer down.
  I did not trust the person at all, it provided no evidence that he was from Microsoft when asked and he kept trying to get me out on my computer for him.

  Actually one of my computers has been freezing / crashing a lot but I just assumed it was because it is now old enough for a laptop. Is everything "that connects only not updates, causing accidents" actually a thing? Or I was right not to trust this person?

  Has anyone had any strange phone calls claiming to be from Microsoft? Phone number when you dial 1471 is: 007277489117

  Hello

  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.

• phone call from a so called microsoft certified tech.

  How could a microsoft certified Tech know that I have a virus on my computer?

  He is not a technician certified to Ms. It's a scam. No one would know if you had a virus on your computer.

• Microsoft scam. I just had a person claiming to be from Microsoft on the phone

  I just had a person claiming to be from Microsoft on the phone.  It asked me to enter a code and run it on my computer.  I refused and hung up as I suppose it's a scam!  Has anyone else had such a call?

  It seems that there was a rash of these types of calls that flow. DON'T spend any time on the phone with them. It's a big scam and they are phishing for your personal information. DO NOT do anything they say, or give them all vital data.

  Hope this helps,

Finally, my can they still view my computer information, even if I ran a virus scan and no harmful viruses have been detected. BTW im using norton 360 as my virus protection.

• I think I was scammed in a telephone call

  This happened to me, but I stupidly fell for her, and they had access to my computer until they mentioned the part that my windows operating system warranty was expired and that I had to renew here for problems with my computer fixed, that I had never heard before and ask about this until it will dawn on me that it was a scam , my question is they had access to my computer and I need advice on what to do if they are able to hack my password, the bank & credit card details. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER.

  http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/Forum/Windows_7-security/have-i-been-scammed-got-a-call-from-Windows-saying/a9fd8c4a-ea01-4FA9-bd8e-20e632359b09 >

  Since you have given them access to your PC then your security has probably been compromised somehow. What you do will depend on the type of information you store on your PC 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

  (only to install a scanner in real-time, however).

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

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

  ·        Watch your emails and other accounts for any activity suspicious.

  ·        Consider to tell the local police / authorities.

  ·        With the main exception of cleaning your PC, a large part of what you need to do is common sense

  kind of things. Think how the villain could take advantage of all that was on your PC and to take measures to

  fight against it.

• Replacing the drive HARD - Am I was scammed?

  Hello

  My HARD drive has failed on me (error 301). Bought a new WD Scorpio Blue 500 GB and gave it to an official HP Service Center for the recovery of the system. I currently live in Jakarta, Indonesia. Engineers then told me that they could not install/do the system recovery because I bought the laptop in the United States. Different region, they say, and the best they could do was just to install a clean Win 7 home.

  But a few days later they told me that they could not yet install Win 7, and my new WD HDD was damaged. They said that they have tried with their HARD disk, which is the same brand as the original HDD (Toshiba) supplied with the notebook. Gave me a quote for 3 million rupees (US $$317) for HARD drive not including service fees with an inexplicable discount of 1 Million rupees (US $$126). I refused and asked my laptop back. And when I turned it on, it was on the last step of the installation of Win 7 (PC name enter, password, cd key, etc...). The laptop works fine now, just, without the recovery partition. I ordered a HP.com recovery kit but it'll take a while to get here.

  Is it normal for a Service official HP Center replace a HARD drive for more than $200 USD?

  The recovery kit works on a WD Scorpio Blue 500 GB HARD drive?

  HP Pavilion dm4-1265dx.

  2 years - no guarantee

  Concerning

  Generally, the price HP or service provider will charge you for an item is much higher than in the retail channel. Also, a Service Center HP 'official' need not be owned and operated by HP... This could be a third-party provider approved by HP. And Yes, there are many questions for obtaining maintenance work in another region when the computer has been sold.

  You need to create your own personal when HP recovery disk you first set up your computer. This should have resolved most of your questions. Here are the specifications of your laptop HP Pavilion dm4-1265dx Entertainment. According to specifications, your original computer hard drive was 640 GB. A 500 GB drive should work with the HP recovery discs but noted problems with it installing to a drive that is smaller than the factory.
