  • fake email from Microsoft or real?

    I need to know if a message I received is from Microsoft. It says to download an update for Microsoft Office Starter 2010 - English 'which is now available online', or it is just a scam of fake fishing?

    Hello

    I think that Microsoft has closed this chapter: no more Office 2010 Staer. You don't need to read the e-mail to be able to know, just by the look at the e-mail address of the sender.

  • Microsoft Tech Support scams

    I just talked to a local it service company who told me that I have been scammed by fake Microsoft technical support.  They claimed that Microsoft never give phone support.  Is this correct?

    Here's what I did.  I find the following link through what I thought, it was the Microsoft technical support.

    https://partner.support.Services.Microsoft.com/en-us/contact/callback/4/?OSMCSignIn=true&WA=wsignin1.0

    They called me back immediately.  I talked to different tech support people in different sessions to try to correct a 10 failed Windows installation.  At one point, I gave remote access to a working computer to make a USB bootable recovery.  I watched what was happening on the screen and see nothing strange.  I didn't ask for the passwords, money or credit card information.  The probability is that it was a scam?

    Thank you!

    WRO

    Your local business is partially correct.   Microsoft will be never cold call users.  They have no way of knowing of youor computer is infected, with errors, etc..  If someone calls you without you calling it first of all it is a scam.

    If you access the assistance of partners and they will call back you later, you can be pretty sure they are legitimate.

    From your description, I seriously doubt that it was a scam.  They do not have ask for PII (personally identifiable information) has not asked for money and you called after them called everything first.

    If you are a partner, there is also a website (for partners) where you can ask any questiions online and then make a phone call

  • How can I add memory to iphone6 who has 16 GB

    Adding memory to my iphone6?  I bought the plan wrong to what is called "Extra GB" thru icloud he says 200 GB I have still 199 GB left.  Torn out of 45 dollars.  The scam of fake plan 45.00 extra GB icloud obviously doesn't help if you need memory with storage of iTunes music.   But Apple iTunes is so icloud.  Very disappointing in what I thought was a fair society...

    You do not have. Cloud storage is not a local storage on the phone. It is not a "rip off". It's the cloud storage.

    You cannot add local storage to an iPhone. If you need more, you can buy a new phone.

    Apple is a fair society.

  • F8TXXODBJ34 of Code of safety arose randomly

    While I was looking through the web (I was on Pinterest), I clicked on a PIN and all of a sudden, a newspaper really pop up appeared and said above: * F8TXXODBJ34 of Code of security with a beep in the background. He pointed out that I had malicious activity on my Mac. I started smoking when I got a message saying that I wanted to stay on the page or leave. This never happened t one before and I've had my MacBook Air for almost a year now. I've never had any kind of problem with my Mac at all. What does that mean? What should I do? Is it a scam? Should I be worried? Thank you very much for you help!

    You certainly have a scam of fake popup so you should force - quit Safari.

    They appear as pop-ups 'security' and go into scams, usually.

    The page may still be loaded in the browser (like Safari)

    so now restart the browser, press and hold the SHIFT key down to start w/o

    Extensions. You might be able to go into the settings in Safari if

    you don't get the issue of the internet, to disable loading extensions.

  • Strange page appears when you try to connect to the Bank.

    First of all, the username/password is threatened since someone tried to devote himself after me but failed

    Page comes after the Cup in true Bank site, asking for all your info that the Bank should already have under the guise of confirming your identity.

    Any other suggestions?

    Hello

    Looks like you have been victim of a phishing scam - a fake website posing as a real in an attempt to steal your login credentials. Do not enter any other information you already have.

    I immediately contact your Bank and ask them to deactivate your account / logon information and create new account / logon for you credentials. Make sure you follow all the rules of safe surfing while keeping your passwords and your account information safe from prying eyes. Work with your bank to ensure that your account is safe and secure.

    I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have other questions about it.

    Kind regards
