Microsoft Technical Support phone Scam - how did get my cell number?

• Microsoft Technical Support phone scam

  Hello, I recently received a call (about 5 minutes ago) from Microsoft. They claimed to be Microsoft technical support. They told me that my computer has sent a lot of warning and error messages to Microsoft. They said that messages and stuff said that my computer had downloaded malicious software malware and it could damage my system and internal hard drive. Then they told me that they did not answer me and now called for helping me solve this message. (I stopped to think about what they said because I had been having a lot of problems of slow boot and Windows taking almost 5 + minutes to start). So I played along for a while, but only for a minute. The first guy says let me connect to our senior technical specialist or something like that. Then I logged. The second guy says: "Hello my name is ___ Snyder (I remember only the family name)." They have given me in my observer of events and after I hung up with suspicion and Bishop/confidentiality. They tried to call me again, but I rejected the call. Please give me advice on this issue. I want to know if it's a scam to take over my computer and steal my identity, etc. or is it really Microsoft tries to help to fix my computer.
  Some info on the "technical support guy":
  Both were men. We had a strong accent from the Middle East while it had a slight accent Middle Easterners to it.
  One of the men claimed to be the main _ (don't remember the average Word) specialist. It was called _ (don't remember the name), said Snyder.
  Track of the location of the call. Approximate location is the New Hampshire, USA. This is as far as I know
  Help, please! Also give suggestions on anything that might be necessary to change etc.

  Hello

• Technical support phone scam?

  Hi all. Earlier today, I phoned by someone claiming to be from Microsoft technical care; He said that my computer has been infected with a new virus (Trojan something?) and generated a lot of error messages. He asked me to download a software to help solve this (www.teamviewer.com); When I asked him to send the confirmation email that he was from Microsoft, it is very aggressive, said my license may be cancelled and finally told me to ' go to *'. Is it possible that this could be a real MS technical support call: the way of the appellant does not, but he asked me to watch some log files that to my uneducated eyes, seemed to have a lot of error messages, but I help but feel it is a scam.

• A phone call to Microsoft technical support trying to supposedly help to fix a PC infection

  Hello

  FYI, I received a phone call in Somerville tonight of a number blocked a man with bad English. Maybe Indian, who claims to be from Microsoft Technical support telling me that he needed me to turn on my computer to correct an infection.  He gave me 213-221-3528 recalled, I tried, but does not seem to be a real company.  I think it was a con man.

  I have recently installed Windows 10 free update.  Now I am unable to delete .pdf files and get the invalid error message "Function MS-DOS."  It has never been a problem with the previous Windows 8.1.  I contacted Microsoft technical support and they told me there is a problem with the .pdf application and I need to contact Adobe Acrobat. This can be corrected?

  uninstall any version of acrobat is installed.

  clean by Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labs

  Restart your computer.

  delete all to delete pdf files.

  If this fails, it is a problem of ms.  If this attempt is successful, then reinstall your acrobat.

• Microsoft technical support fake

  I got a call saying they were Microsoft Technical Support, and my computer was in danger. (I could not fully understand her Indian accent)
  He also said that I had to get my computer, so that he could show me what to do - which sounded fair enough, except that I broke my computer, so I have a computer loan. And then it's all less presence. And then he hung up.
  Now, everything that I've read here, that seemed to be the scam, so thank you for having this page!
  I want just to inform you that the number used (I don't know if this is morally right) is: + 16185299140
  Might be nice if people think a lot of you.

  I'm glad you don't fall for the scam...

• When I run an analysis complete, there is a 'ultrww.cab' file and the computer turns off. McAfee said to contact Microsoft technical support on this subject

  When you run a full scan by McAfee, my computer comes in a file named "ultrWW.cab" and turns off.

  McAfee said to contact Microsoft technical support on this subject

  What a lame excuse.

  Make an indication where ultrWW.cab?  See this thread on a similar problem with Kaspersky AntiVirus: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=80688

  If the file that causes the problem is in a subdirectory of C:\MSOCache, you can remove the entire C:\MSOCache and all its subdirectories, but use disk cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK) to do.  Read both of these items first:

• How to get an RMA number for a money-back guarantee?

  September 13, 2014

  Hi all

  I'm trying to figure out how to get an RMA number for a warranty for my iOmega ix2 return. I checked my warranty and it's good for another year. The Lenovo Web site sent me round and round, never really getting to any kind of page which will allow me to enter my serial number and other data of warranty.

  I would like to call or chat but it's Saturday, and these options do not appear to be taken over the weekend.

  Someone has a direct link to the page of Lenovo/iOmega NAS support guaranteed returns?

  Thank you in advance.

  Best,

  Jeff

  Janneh82309070, I looked at the e-mail address you sent me via private message and there is no Adobe software titles registered under this account.  By the document referenced by Ned in the message #1 this discussion, please contact our support team directly at contact customer service if you are unable to locate your serial number.  You want to be prepared with any other e-mail addresses or telephone numbers that may have been used to record the Creative Suite 4.  If the software title was never registered then Adobe will not have a record of the serial number.

  I apologise for the difficulties you have find your serial number Janneh82309070.  Future versions of the Creative Suite registration was automatic to help reduce this type of events.
