There are many ways scammers get our addresses.  Above all, they buy from the sites where to post them.

No matter how they got it, you're right he is a crook and just ignore it.

  • Error followed by phone call report scam.

    Hi all

    4-5 days, I allowed my system to make an error report after a glitch that makes Windows close. I have not done this before and hardly have these glitches.

    Today, I got a phone call from an Indian call centre telling me that they were Microsoft answering my error report. They had checked and found a deadly Virus that they could correct if I accepted were using their protector of the Advance system. This would eliminate the problems that I had seen (I'm NOT having continuous problems) and speed up my PC.

    I could barely hear what was said the helmet/phone line were terrible, and I told them.

    They said I could join their system of protection to 70 books online and my cyber-world would be safer and faster.

    I said that if their software was as bad as their phone equipment, I wasn't interested.

    However, my REAL concern is that it was the only time where I received my system Windows make an error report. It seems strange that my error report has been so closely followed this call scam.

    This company there in detail the report error and my phone number.

    Or was it just a coincidence.

    Thanks for any input.

    The phone call was not from Microsoft. I suspect that your computer is infected and the 'error report' you got the malware, which sounds like a rogue security program came. Make sure that the computer is clean.

  • Victim of scams on the Internet International.

    Recently, I had my computer HACKED by someone in the Middle East.  I have taken steps to remedy this situation by hiring Bomgar Technical Support, through my connection to hotmail, to clean my computer.  This support is Bomgar technology ITOK security for my computer protection.  However, I still get these email scam requesting money. It is not the first time that this has happened.  Someone from Nigeria did the same thing in 2008. That said, my question is - how can I report when this happens? Who should I get in touch with to report a scam on the Internet?  Right now I have an Email in my Inbox from one of these scammers.  Signed James Green

  • My computer is threatened by this type of scam?

    I wish I had read this earlier. I was just hit with one of these calls. I am the perfect target because I know very little about the computer. What I did and regret it now, is that I let them teach me to a website call www.ammyy.com and from there, that they had remote access to my computer. From the outside, they under the control of the mouse and showed me the list of warnings and errors and said that my antivirus software did not work. They said I should buy a software called Windows 7 Ultimate. It is then the PIN fell. They said I should buy the software immediately to them on the phone. I know it was a scam and hung up. Within minutes they had remote access, it does not mean that the security of my computer has been broken? What should I do now? I'm the Australia.

    Firstly - you started a new job and hint at something you read.  We have no point of reference.

    The assumptions of what you read - Yes - it is possible that your machine is infested/infected with one or more things.

    I have several new emails in the Inbox, but I'm unable to view or even see them?

    Hey CRB123,

    Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.

    If I understand your message, you see a badge that you have unread e-mails in your Inbox, but they are not appearing.  An easy way to separate the emails read from the unread macOS that Sierra is to click the button to filter in the list of messages, or sort by unread:

    • Activate the filters: Click the filter button at the top of the list of messages, click unread to display the list of available filters, and then select one or more filters. A check mark indicates a filter is active.

      If you use more than one email account in Mail, you can filter the Inbox into account - for example, only show emails from your iCloud account.

    • Disable an active filter: Click on the filter.

    • Disable all filters: Click the filter button .

      Mail remembers your filters and automatically applied the next time that you click the filter button to activate the filters.

    You can also sort the list of messages - just click on "sort by" at the top of the list of messages, then select an attribute, such as and a sort order. In a typical configuration, click on a column header.

    Mail for Mac: filter the list of messages in Mail

    If no unread messages, then I would like to confirm if you have emails unread looking webmail for your email account. If you see the unread messages in webmail, go back to the mail app, and then rebuild your Inbox:

    You may have to re-create a mailbox to update the list of the messages it contains. For example, if messages seem to be missing or garbled, or if you don't find any relevant messages when you search by using the entire Message search option.

    • Select a mailbox in the Mail sidebar, then choose BALL > rebuild.

    When you rebuild the mailbox for accountIMAP or Exchange messages and attachments stored on your computer are discarded and then downloaded again from the mail server to your Mac. Your mailbox is empty until the download is complete.

  • Scam of Remoting. What they see?

    So I fell for the scam of tech support, but my mom ended the call when they wanted $100. I just followed the instructions that the guy on the phone told me after I called them when I saw a pop up alert. I allowed the guy remotely to MacBook Air from my mother, who has her iCloud connected to it. A day after the remote access, my mother went to his notes on his iPhone and I saw that she had only three left instead of eighteen she had of the scam. I wanted to know if they were able to access his notes that are on her iCloud without knowing me. She has credit card information notes. Also, is it possible for them to continue access to distance even after closing of logmein?

    After the upgrade to Sierra, my open Mac Mail Inbox with the cursor showing the older posts, so I have to manually drag the most recent messages every time. No other Mail folder behaves like that, and none have either before the Sierra. Anyone?

    Hello peo bjorn.

    Please ask on the mail after upgrade Sierra here in Apple Support communities. I'm happy to help you change this sort option with her opening with the older messages.

    With open Mail and the word at the top next to the Apple Mail, move to the right third option in Word Mail and click View > sort by, and then select Date. You will need to do this once more, and then select Message newest on top. If this is how it is currently selected, please change to another option and then change it back to these settings.

    Thanks again for checking the communities Support of Apple. Enjoy Sierra macOS!
