Microtech scam?

Similar Questions

• What should I do to protect my computer because I left the Microtech scam people look at my computer via the ammyn Viewer?

  A woman with an Indian accent called saying she was with Microsoft and I had not answered their many urgent emails on my virus in my computer and she called for help.  I can't believe I fell for this point but finally woke up and realized it sounded funny and hung to the top.  But I did not have to look at my computer via the website ammyn.  I do not buy anything.  I just ran the full check of Windows Security Essentials.  What should I do?

  It's a tough call.  For the most part, these scammers are simply interested to bill you for your non-existent problems and then sell you a costly "contract of service" rather than actually steal information on your part.

  On the other hand, let you someone have total control over your computer and even if you could probably see everything that was done, he could well be activity past in the background a copy of your files.  Usually, however, all they do is look at the event viewer where they can surprise highlighting the 'mistakes' and 'warnings' (which virtually every Windows computer displayed in the event viewer) and thus convince you to buy their services to 'fix '.

  At a minimum, I suggest to change all your name of user and password login information for whatever sites you visit, especially for banking sites or credit card.  If you are really interested and you keep financial information on your computer, you might want to act like your portfolio, including your credit card has been lost or stolen: contact your financial institutions and change your account information.

  IMO, it is unlikely that no matter what malware 'backdoor' or another was left in this event, but if you are concerned that, really, the only way is to be sure to do a complete "clean" installation of Windows.  For most people who have computers that were purchased with Windows pre-installed, this means (a) back up your personal files, (2) to restore the computer to its "fresh from the factory" State by using some mechanism to do so provided by the manufacturer; (3) painstakingly updated day Windows to the current service pack and post-service pack updates; (4) reinstall any programs that were installed after that you bought the computer (using the original installation media) and then update these programs according to needs; and (5) restore your personal files.

• Strange phone call from Microtech saying my computer has a virus

  This morning I received a strange phone call. The caller ID said TRIKON but speaking men said they were by Microtech. I could barely understand what they said, and they had Middle Eastern accents. They asked that a program on a computer with windows 7 was about to crash, once again I barely understood what they were still talking. They spoke as they were apparently trying to save my computer by a virus. They asked me to go in my command prompt and type Assoc. at this point the call seemed really shady and suspicious. I have no idea how they had our information, they wouldn't tell us who they worked for, and the call quality was extremely poor. We hung their call, and then moments later recalled, we told them everything was fine and that we would be talking to a real representative of microsoft. They did not return after that. It was all very suspicious, I ran several scans on my computer, but I did not notice any problems. I'm very confused, and I don't know if I'd be worried. I would much appreciate it if someone could help me on this situation. I have also some question. TRIKON is in collaboration with microsoft? Is there a computer in circulation problem? I want much help from one who has experienced this problem, as well as support from Microsoft.

  -I would like to thank very you much for your time.

  This is 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.

Took me to the "computer management" and showed me all the mistakes that have been saved on my computer. "He had me then type in 'www.ammyy.com'and asked me to give online access to my computer. I have a name and a number, but not grant access. Is Microsoft affilliated with this company to stop the crash of Windows 7 computers?

• Scam of Remoting. What they see?

  So I fell for the scam of tech support, but my mom ended the call when they wanted $100. I just followed the instructions that the guy on the phone told me after I called them when I saw a pop up alert. I allowed the guy remotely to MacBook Air from my mother, who has her iCloud connected to it. A day after the remote access, my mother went to his notes on his iPhone and I saw that she had only three left instead of eighteen she had of the scam. I wanted to know if they were able to access his notes that are on her iCloud without knowing me. She has credit card information notes. Also, is it possible for them to continue access to distance even after closing of logmein?

• Update Service Apple emails (scam?)

  Hi guys!

  I just wanted to see if someone else has to do these emails lately, and I'm curious to know if they are a scam. I have not said or done anything with them because they are not legitimate for me. I'm 3 in total, including one to an email address that I don't even have an Apple ID, attached to. They are all slightly different, but they usually all say the same thing (example below with correct grammar, punctuation, writing, etc.):

  iCloud ID - censored

  It's the last observation to inform you that as of 02 - Sep - 2016 you have not yet updated your iCloud ID information. According to modulation "Know your Customer (kyc)" Apple is required by standards to implement a validation of your information, fault what will result in saving of your Apple ID in the next three days. (of course, going on 3 days and I still have access to my Apple ID)

  Please go to the > >

  Check your ID iTunes > (clickable link) (the second email says 'Check your iCloud ID' here; the third email to the email address that has no Apple ID is "check your ID iTunes ')

  To intersperse the cessation of your Apple & iCloud, please continue your Apple ID profile before the scheduled time of deletion.

  Petition of resolution of Validation: (9 numbers, clickable link)

  With respect,

  Resource cloud (or Cloud operations)

  Then, there is a black box at the bottom of the email that says "the image you requested does not exist or is no longer available. imgur.com.

  There are other clickable links in the bottom, like 'My Apple ID', 'Support', 'Privacy Policy'... then there Copyright 2016 iTunes Sarl 31-33, street Sainte Zithe L-2763 Luxembourg all rights reserved.

  I dunno guys... it seems shady to me. No matter which otherwise get something similar, or know what it is? Thanks in advance!

  Check the grammar. He is a fake and bad.

• iCloud password reset scam e-mail?

  Received an email from Apple, as never before, to an alternative e-mail, not my address to iCloud.  He said: "you recently requested a password reset or unlock your Apple ID", with links.  Being suspicious of both the message sent to my other account and grammar, I did follow links in the email.  Am I right in thinking it will be a scam?

  It seems certainly doubtful, so I encourage you to report it.
