My father has a 'tech', calling on the phone saying he's a tech for 'Windows '.
My father is having someone who keeps calling her phone number, saying it is a tech for 'Windows '. It just tells the "no, not interested", but calls are increases and becomes boring.
It seems that it happens started him then weeks more - his card has been compromised. Some college kid in a State that he was never actually the fatal error of the charge of their expenses of college and/or books on my father's card number. Thus, they drew him/herself.
It does not use the very net except for Amazon gift (Christmas, for example). We believe that his card was hacked through Amazon.
Anyone who is tech savvy have some comments on how to avoid scammers on the phone. How they get all these phone numbers of United States of America to start cheat? Or you have any comments about what to do when you use your card to buy something on the net?
Thank you.
Sorry to hear that your father is being bothered by these criminals.
Seems you may need to perform a review of complete safety on him AND his computer.
Re of piracy:
Your father is using complex passwords? Grab it with LastPass where you can create passwords on EVERY site that requires a connection. Passwords as 49jf = _ K & () * hjHHyt74 ><**htba jjlkk63%3***="" can="" be="" generated="" automatically="" by="" lastpass.......and="" you="" never="" have="" to="" remember="" them.="" read="" about="" it="" at="">**htba>
Re compromised card:
-have him get one FREE, low limit ($500) Visa or Mastercard and never use that one for online shopping
-never use the button 'save your number of credit card for convenient future purchases. Enter it in fees each time.
Re "repair Windows" phone calls:
Just tell him to answer the phone politely; Once they identify themselves as what they are, tell him you say thank you and then (without hanging up) it just place the phone on a table or a Chair and let it sit there for ten minutes. 'THEY' will receive the message that it is on them.

View missed calls when the phone is off?
Hello
My phone turned off (or without service) incoming calls do not show on my list of missed calls.
There may be a voicemail when my phone is back, but no match no missed calls.
Is there a setting that will show you missed calls when the phone is off?

Once you turn back on your iPhone, all calls that occurred while the iPhone was off should appear in the Missed Call list.
If they do not:
- If you are in your area served by your cellular operator, contact your operator.
- If you are outside this area (roaming), you can not see the calls until the return. You could ask your cellular operator on this subject.

where to get the hp laserjet 6l pro printer driver for windows 7 32 bit
where to get the hp laserjet 6l pro printer driver for windows 7 32 bit.
or if not is there a generic driver that will work for hp laserjet 6l pro printer in a 32-bit windows system 7.
My Windows 7 Professional 64-bit system has a built-in driver (provided by Microsoft) for HP LaserJet 6 L printer; I guess that the 32-bit edition may also provide a driver.
Note that the driver can only appeared after the list of drivers in the Add Printer dialog has been updated by clicking the Windows Update button in this dialogue and in the meantime (maybe several minutes) for drivers to download and list to be filled again.

Yes, you are in the right place.
