• 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

• EMail address added to < < my device name > > < < my device name > > now using < < my mailadress (identical to the Apple ID) > > for FaceTime and IMessage.

  My iPod touch get now and then next alert message due to change on my iPhone.

  EMail address added to < < my device name > > < < my device name > > now using < < my mailadress (identical to the Apple ID) > > for FaceTime and iMessage.

  Why I get this message? iPhone is disabled due to my work offshore for two weeks, but the use of the iPod touch is allowed.

  What is my apple ID used on other devices with the same name as my iPhone?

  I would be happy if anyone has an explanation of why I feel this strange behavior.

  When you connect to FaceTime or Messages on another device, another peripheral other device using this same ID will get the message that has been signed to. Some iOS (and OSX) update log for other devices will get the message when that happens.

  You said "by reason of change on my iPhone"

  What has changed on the iPhone?

• Phishing scam or no scam Phishing

  Original title: TYPE PHISHING OR ANY TYPE of PHISHING scam scam?

  I'm just an e-mail informing me that Hotmail is the upgrade of their database and to continue with my account that I have to fill in my name, password and the countries at the bottom and then press on answer.  Is this valid? It is the first time I noticed it, and he only appeared on one of three email accounts I have with hotmail.  In addition, there the hotmail logo and brand.  Of course, they would know that I have been active.  I use my emails ALL THE TIME!  He also told me that it is a FINAL OPINION.

  PS for several months, I received a LOT of emails indicating that he has money waiting for me of the FBI, of priests, officials, and the list goes.  I have notified the FBI and I scored on several occasions messages as phishing scams, but I still get them.  Help!

  SCAM PHISHING OR ANY PHISHING SCAM?

  Phishing. You are correct in your suspicions. The key word here is the password. No legitimate request will ask for your password if you are prompted to connect to your account, make absolutely sure that the site that you log in to the site that is associated with your account.

  You neglected to provide details on what you use for your email, but if it's Outlook then tighten your Junk E-mail settings and possibly make a few rules of your choice. If your e-mail account is simply flooded with spam, consider changing to a new account and throw the old one.

• is this real or a phishing scam?

  I received several emails from the "Microsoft account team" asking I have check a code to access my account.  I didn't ask this information - this is a phishing scam?

• Why do most of the ads in my address book become 'red' when adding as a BCC to an outgoing e-mail message?

  To please the geek who created this site, let me repeat the question, that I already asked for a response. When I send an email to a number of people, I list all of them as "BCC". Some appear in the sending of e-mail to the section in black letters, but more are in 'red '. Why is this?

  Re: to please the geek who created this site, I repeat the question, I already asked for a response to.
  According to your profile you just asked this time.
  
  
  Re: when I send an email to a number of people, I list all of them as "BCC". Some appear in the sending of e-mail to the section in black letters, but more are in 'red '. Why is this?
  

  As a general rule, if the e-mail address policy uses the color black then the person is in your address book, if in red then the person is not in the address book.

  However, having said that, there is a bug in version 31 + black, which can change the font color red even if in the address book.
  This bug has been reported.
  Police in red color does not affect the sending of emails; It is purely a matter of Visual.

• I can't change my list of JIU, as only 3 addresses appear in the BCC field

  When I look at the BCC list in draft mode, there is an address that I have not entered, and I don't know the person whose address is, but I could not find a way to remove the address, because when I go into edit mode, only the last three addresses I entered are visible on three separate Bcc lines.

  In addition, in mode draft, I see that a number of addresses appears twice, because, at the time, I was entering them, I needed to save the work and click the sign-. But when I opened it the first time, because I saw that the first three addresses, I have assumed that I had lost the others, so started coming again. Now I need to delete duplicate addresses, but even once, find no way to do it, because once I'm in don't change only three mode addresses may appear.

  Please can you help me?
  Thank you

  There is generally enough visible space 3-(Cc/BCC) fields as the automatic display.

  When there are multiple e-mail addresses can be established, a scroll bar should appear on the right side.

  However, by dragging the bar down reveals more.
  Place the cursor on the line and the cursor should change to a double arrow head.
  Left click and hold down the key to grab the line, and then drag.

• Phishing scam? E-mail offering free global calling 1 month

  I received an email that offers 1 month free global calling that appeared to be from Skype. I started to open a new window and log in Skype like this, but then clicked on the link in the email that he pay back. The next screen asks my billing information and it dawned on me that I had done something stupid and connected to, then changed my password. I couldn't find the coordinates for Skype on the site (email support a link some autour loops) so I Googled it and found a bulletin board listing these: [email protected], [email protected] I am assuming that they are false? This is my first question. My second would be is it really a scam? I received responses from these emails telling me that this is not a scam and encourage me to click on the links to connect. Thanks for your comments!

  Well, I logged in discussion again today (you must click on identity theft for the cat, I think). He said that all email addresses I listed are legitimate and therefore the offer. I kept a transcript of the first session of cat and I realize that I misunderstood him (there was a language barrier or dialect) and it does not support emails were not for Skype. I would say that Skype after the offer on your account and you will be asked to connect by using a new window to take advantage of the offer. Either that or give you a code and let you open a session in a new window. The first type of cat is adamant that I had to click on the link embedded in the email and enter payment information or I could not benefit from the offer. Well, it's a good offer so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. I should have checked before I clicked on the link - launch so hours of worry.

• phishing scam?

  I just got a phone call from AMMYY claiming they are microsoft.  I got suspicious.  They are actually affiliated?

  These scam calls are usually of a person representing Windows rather than Microsoft, but in any case, the call was nothing else than a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

  It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.

  Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.

  Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site! Please do not take into account these calls and hang up immediately.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently
