• I continue to receive calls from a company called wintech.

  I continue to receive calls from a company called wintech and a man who is obviously in India, but called Shane Watson!   I was on the phone for about 3 hours for him today!  I pay money for them last year and am now being harassed to pay more. He gave me a 020 30262097 phone number and identification number to authenticate his call. The company that the payments go to the e-business solutions East nias. He showed me the screens that are supposed to be errors on my PC and also stated that the pirates are using my IP address to hack other computers?  I don't know if it is a lie. It sounds me again in the morning to take payment for software that is supposed to be for a "performance booster PC + anti software piracy" after reading some of these posts, I'm now really worried that he already won access to my PC.

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer, which is another ploy they use to scare you

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

• I received calls from someone in India who said that they are Windows services centre telling me that they have received the error message saying that my computer is corrupted

  Original title: my computer is corrupt and needs fixing!

  I received calls from a person in India who said that they are Windows services centre telling me that they have received the error message saying that my computer is damaged, and they want to help me.  But I have not received any error message on my screen.  When I asked them how they got my number they said it's from the database of Windows. The number they gave me is 02921252715 and when I called the number of the person on the other end told me that they are a company called Windows e-solution, independent company and is not attached to Microsoft Windows.  What should I do?  Are these authentic calls and approved by Microsoft Windows?

• I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer.

  Original title: scams?

  I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer. Normally, I just say that I don't have and hung up. Today, I took a little further and he said that they discovered that I had loads of malware/viruses etc and that they could identify with them. I was obviously very suspicious because he seemed to have my correct Windows ID number and with care on 'Run' he told me to type things like cmd eventviewer and inf where he referred to a file 1394.pnf. I stopped while he asked remotely to access my computer. However, I got a phone number 01916450337 and his P786000 id I noticed that many people are posting on your forum-is this another one of those scams?

  Continue to put the phone down. They are all crooks.

  They get you to open Event Viewer, because there are words such as 'critical' and 'error' along the this.

• I received a call from a woman said that she was with the ICC with Windows service provider and that they were getting the error messages from my computer

  * Original title: scam or not

  I received a call from a woman saying that she was with the ICC with Windows service provider and they received my computer error messages and I wouldn't be able to help me solve it.  I asked for a number of 800-373-4609 because he came unknown on my phone.

  I wanted to open my computer.  I told her I would call her back.

  Is it a scam?

  (Moved from P & M)

  Yes, it's a scam. When someone calls and says they need to talk to you about 'mistakes' in your computer, simply hang up.  I just had one of these calls myself about 15 minutes ago.

• Unable to receive calls from Apple Watch, using WIFI AT &amp; T calls, when the iPhone is turned on, turned off or in Airplane Mode.

  I work on this issue and wanted to involve the community.

  I have tests the functionality Apple Watch and have been unable to solve my problems with WIFI call. I use the AT & T and I am connect to the strip of the 5 GHz on my router Xfinity.

  I am able to make/receive calls from my iPad and Mac laptop when iPhone is off / Mode plane; However, this feature does not work on the watch. I can make and receive calls from the watch when the phone is turned on.

  Another problem is that I am not able to send and receive messages (blue or green bubble) of the watch - once again when the phone is turned off or in flight Mode

  I'll copy in 2 portions of the Web site: http://help.apple.com/watch/

  http://help.Apple.com/watch/#/apd0443fb403

  If your Apple Watch is in range of a Wi - Fi network that the iPhone is connected to before, you can always do the following (even if the iPhone is off):

  • Send and receive digital messages Touch
  • Send and receive messages using Messages
  • Make and receive phone calls (if you have active calls, Wi - Fi, and you are within range of a Wi - Fi connected to your iPhone before)
  • Check current weather conditions
  • Track your inventory

  http://help.Apple.com/watch/#/apd2fe746e86

  Make calls via Wi - Fi

  If your cellular operator offers Wi - Fi calls, you can use Apple Watch to make and receive calls over Wi - Fi instead of cellular network - even when your pair iPhone isn't with you or is disabled. Apple Watch comes to be in range of a Wi - Fi network that is connected to your iPhone in the past.

  To see if your carrier offers Wi - Fi calls, see the article Apple Support phone with Wi-Fi calls, then enable the calls on your iPhone and Apple Watch Wi - Fi.

  Note: You can make emergency calls via Wi - Fi, but when possible, use rather iPhone over a cellular connection - your location information will be more specific.

  Enable on iPhone Wi - Fi calls. On iPhone, go to settings > phone and turn on Wi - Fi calling and application to other devices.

  Enable calls on Apple Watch Wi - Fi. Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap phone, then turn on Wi - Fi calls. If you do not see the parameter, make sure that you have activated calls on iPhone Wi - Fi.

  Answer please if you are able to perform any of these functions! And any troubleshooting you can think!

  Hello

  These features are not available because Apple Watch cannot connect to a network of GHz Wi - Fi 5.

  If your watch is not connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but lying in a 2.4 GHz Wi - Fi network your iPhone plugged in before, the watch can connect to this network and you can continue to use certain features, including Wi - Fi calls (when it is supported by your operator, you already have in place).

• MX800 enrolled in the TPaaS receive calls from 100 @ numbers

  I have a new installation of a MX800 recorded at TPaaS in the cloud, and the unit constantly receives calls from 100 @ and its IP address. This started over the weekend and takes place every 30 seconds like clockwork. Is there some way in the MX800 I can put in the filter restrictions to block calls from probes starting at 100 @ or is it a TPaaS?

  Thanks, Jeff

  Looks like a someone on the internet is the SIP devices using automated analytical tools known scanning and looking system PBX calls the inside to reduce fresh international of appeal or trying to hack and break the PBX devices. These calls are sent directly to your address IP MX800.

  Your MX800 behind the firewall or directly connected to the Public and exposed to the internet?

  Try turning off the port of SIP listening for inbound connections on ports TCP/UDP of SIP on your MX800 under System Configuration > SIP settings. If disabled, endpoint won't be available through the Registrar SIP CUCM or VCS via TPaas in the cloud.

• Phone scam received call from a technician who said my system was infected

  I am gullible who maybe went too far with the Indian phone call. As I was using my laptop at the time, it was too easy to believe.
  Although I was getting suspicious, I actually entered a code provided by the appellant, to allow the "technician" to advise by online chat. Then I stopped. I'm afraid that may have infected my XP Pro system. I have temporarily restored the system to a date before the call. Is that enough, or should I re install XP from scratch? Also, what is the risk of my main computer, running 7 and not in use at the time being affected?
  What other corrective measures should I take?
  What precautions should I take with respect to online banking?
  Any advice greatly appreciated.

• Receive calls from iPhone 5s does not

  Hello

  Just got a Apple Watch for woman (a little), paired with the iPhone 5 s - everything worked out of the box but receiving calls/text. No matter what try (rematching, force reboot, quite all applications on the phone, WiFi stop on other devices etc.) I don't get the call (or text) on the watch from the phone. If I go to the app phone on the watch, I see the missed (or received on the telephone) call, msg etc.

  Not paired and matched, he returned with my iPhone 6 and everything works fine. So, this is something that I can't do with the iPhone 5 s at all? None of the documents I have read so far, are not specifically told that it cannot however. 5 wife and my 6 all running iOS last 9.x. Can anyone confirm or put me in the right direction please?

  Best,

  San
