  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

• Phone calls from a person claiming to be from microsoft a SCAM?

  Everyone has just received a phone call from someone with a foreign accent CLAIMING to be from Microsoft? and they said that I got the virus, ect on my computer and they wanted me to go on the computer and I guess = open a site that would PROBABLY destroy my computer... I told the man twice, that I had no problems and thanked him for the call and HUNG up...

  I heard there is a SCAM where someone from another country wants to go to a certain web site current and there wher you download something that ruins your system. I'm not stupid and I quickly hung up.

  (I have Dial-up internet so I couldn't talk on the phone and be online at the same time..) ... When I'm out here = I dial * 69 and see if I get a phone number... at this JERK.   and if anyone is interested I'll let you know what is this number.

  - - - - -

  Edit: a post later

  I did a * 69 as the number is unknown... as expected... I thought it was a SCAM and immediately hung up on him... and gave him no information or access to my computer.

• I received several calls from a person claiming to be from microsoft

  I received several calls from a person alleging to be from microsoft saying: they received the information from my computer on which it runs slowly and to turn on my computer so that they can do the steps to put it right, I did not what I was skeptical, but he was insistent that I turn on my computer (Incidentally it was already running) I refused this and he said I should do what he says.  I put the phone down, but it rang again and insistent, he rang the Bell and then twice that I ignored it.  However, he then rang again later andmy husband responded, he said himwe do not need its services because it was thought not good, as I already told you this gentleman I was under the impression that it was not kosher, insisted that it was.  So what is happening here.   I'm not what anyone on the screen. Also when he got my phone rings me and someone from microsoft would be ringing me, as I have him suggest that I wouldn't do anything on my computer but it would write with information on.thank you for your help

  Hello

  Its a SCAM!

  In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer
  Watch groups. Arm yourself with knowledge.

  No, Microsoft wouldn't you not solicited. Or they would know if errors exist on your
  computer. So that's the fraud or scams to get your money or worse to steal your identity.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently - Microsoft is not unsolicited

• Received a phone call from a person claiming to be from Microsoft. Is this legal?

  Separated from this thread.

  I was called by Tylon be Rep. from Microsoft to help secure my PC. He ref a blacksmith of U Shine Software. Need of 300.00 to install. He wanted a CC # then the number to check?  Double burden? Is this legal?

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  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.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

• Reception of phone calls from a person claiming to be from Microsoft and informing me that I have not responded to the notice of my computer.

  One scam or not?

  I get phone calls from someone saying that he comes from windows and he tries to help me with my IP address.  He claims that I have not responded to the notice on my computer.  When I asked for a phone number to remind him to he gave me 516-628-7488 and I called and it sounds right.  Have I been scammed and someone is trying to hack into my computer?

• I was contacted by phone by a person claiming to be from Microsoft and told me that my computer was generating a lot of mistakes.

  I've been conntacted by telephone and told that my computer was generating a lot of mistakes.  They told me that they were by Microsoft, and I had some sort of the virus and eventually that my liscence software had expired.  I was told that I had to pay by credit card to renew my liscence so that they could help me.  Is - is this legitimate?  I don't have a credit card, otherwise, how can I renew my liscence (for Windows XP)?

  * original title - expired liscence *.

  It is not legitimate.

  If the appellant has given you a way to get back in touch with them (to pay), call the local police, FBI, or see http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

• received alarming call of guy who claims to be from one of the free services of Windows

  Hello, just got a phone call from a guy with an accent Middle-Eastern or Indian. He said that he was working for Windows and this call is a free service of help me solve an immediate threat to my computer system. He said that they had seen errors coming in the last three weeks. On my phone, no calling number display, only #0123456789. Strangely enough, it was that he knew my name. At that time, I was rather suspicious.

  He told me that he could prove it was ligit showing me my CLSID and asked me to press the button next to Ctrl more 'R' at the same time. At this time a small input field appeared on the bottom of my screen, and he began to instruct me to enter a command (CMD). At that time, I was convinced that it was a scam, so I did not it and I told him that it didn't work and I was going to hang up on him almost 100%. He said: 'OK, fine, then it's your own loss

  I'm 99.9999% sure he was a crook, but for my own insurance, what is your vision? A I already spend a dangerous point or I was at the time to hang up?

  FYI, I got this call in Europe, don't know if more people have received these calls lately. Thanks for reading and for your comments.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  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.

  If the only thing you did was press Windows Logo key * + R but not more then you should be safe.

  * I assume you mean The Windows Logo key instead of Ctrl like that will appear the race box where I'd normally expect CMD be registered to access the command prompt window. CTRL +R would be safe just refresh the active window.
