• Is this a scam or reality?

  I received a phone call from someone named Tom. He said he was calling from the IT Department of microsoft on my computer. He just received an order from a headDept at microsoft on my computer. He asked if it was correct thet, I used the Microsoft Windows operating system on my computer. Stupidly, I answered Yes, but something has been fishy.he continued during 2-3 days and then it changed 2-3 weeks they were receiving some kind of red alert, a message of relief from my computer and I could in line with these, at this point I hung up. Perhaps, I should have waited for some address that he would give me, but I am deaf and use a captel captioned telephone which is connected to my compuyer by a router, they are very slow typing and I didn't like the sound of this call. Maybe I'm old, but I'm not stupid

• A problem of virus scam or reality?

  I received a phone call tonight of a person in India claiming to represent the "official Software Services Provider for Windows. He said there was a new form of malware that was undetectable by software viruses or malware, but he said he would help me to eliminate the threat. He said that he was not selling anything, but I hung up on him because it sounded too many fish (I can't get the service customer to answer the phone within a reasonable time, and still less to call me personally.) I'm sure it was a scam but wanted to check and see if there is a small chance that there could be a serious problem, I need the address. You have an idea?

  Good! You have made the right choice.

  It was a scam. And one that has become very common these days. He was very
  lucky that you have not sucked.

  This a complete scam and one that has become very common these days. . Don't think anything such a caller said, do nothing that he tells you to do and hang up on him immediately.

  At let them into your computer? If you did you are at serious risk for what they could have done it (installed spyware? Identity theft? Steal the passwords?), and I highly recommend that you do the two following:

  1 reinstall Windows properly

  2. change all your passwords, especially those of the financial institutions and online stores.

• Constantly flooded with pop up / phishing scam messages!

  Hi, I was wondering if someone could help. For the past 2 weeks I've been flooded with boring jump - rises from the constant / phishing scams "congratulations you have won..." "on my iPhone and an iPad 2! It has gotten to the point now where I can't use any of these devices! as soon as I use safari, google chrome, most apps for example BBC News, BBC sport, etc... It automatically goes to the prize / competition messages and can't click on them. I was not on all questionable websites, just news and sports that I used for years, starting by it seemed to be only BBC sport app but then quickly spread to all! It seems also occur just after I did the last software update, do not know if this is related to the problem?

  So far, I have:

  • Removed from web history (several times)
  • Completely erased and reset all devices and set up as a new iPad / iPhone.
  • Created a new Apple ID, incase it was related to my original account.
  • Make sure blocker made in the settings.
  • Been in the apple store for help twice, they just did what I had already done. He seemed to disappear when in the Apple store, but as soon as I got home n used them once again, he was back!
  • I tried installing apps blocker, but they did not work, and most are not comparable with iPads.
  • Messaged Apple on the Live Chat, but they did not help, just what I had already done before.

  I'm completely lost what to do next.

  If anyone has any suggestions on how to get rid of these horrible annoying messages / pop - ups, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you

• Greetings, Im getting an urgent message when I try to open my safari browser. He said a number listed in the contact message. Is it a real Apple alert or a scam?

  Hello, I get an urgent message to communicate a number of phone about my safari browser. Is it a scam? What is the official support of Safari Apple #? Thanks for your help?

  It's a scam.

  Force Quit Safari using the command + Option + ESC shortcut keyboard, then restart Safari while hiding the SHIFT key .

  Then, to your Safari menu bar, click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab, then click: delete all data of the website can leave then restart Safari.

  That should eliminate the alert/scam.

• Why I get messages that some e-mails are scams when I already entered these emails to my address book?

  Often, I get a warning message in Thunderbird that "this email can be a scam", and yet I already added this email address in my address book, so supposedly than Thunderbird should know that it is a reliable email address. Why he did this, and how can I do this function works more accurately? Please explain also basically also perhaps, as I'm not a very excitable person. Thanks in advance.
