• 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

  You have posted in a forum for MSE, antivirus, antimalware application.  You must investigate e-mail options... providers (hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc) screen several e-mail for spam.  You don't have not yet described here your email client... so there is little that anyone can tell you that generic advice.

• Emergency technical - SCAM or phishing?

  I have signed in error of the UTH help last night.  I became suspicious after the signing and found research that it is essentially a scam online.  What I've seen do, is use CClear to remove my logs of error messages, search for the tree of my HDD and fast scanner MSE and charge me a bunch of money.  I pray that this is just a scam delivering not much for a lot of money rather than the phishing scam which extracted valuable information from my computer.  As far as I can tell that I deleted the software they installed last night, changed my internet and financial passwords, requested my money back guarantee (they actually recalled this mornng to see how my system was for their 'work').  Big surprise, their work does not seem to have done much to my system performance.  Let's see if they actually cancel the payment.  Now I'm corresponding in the world of user MS to add my two cents to this type of scam.  I would appreciate any other suggestions (knowing that the horse may already be out of the barn).

  Thank you

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Microsoft and its affiliated companies do 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

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

  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.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, 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.

  See you soon.

• 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.

• should I proceed to report a suspected phishing scam Windows Live by Microsoft?

  For the record, I get a "Windows Live Team" request.  I know it is phishing, but should I forward e-mails to Microsoft or just mark them as phishing?  If I mark as phishing scams will be my filter ban real emails form Windows Live?

  Hello

  It would be better to report it as it may be a new source of the scam, they need to know.

• 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?

  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.

  The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation
  (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), funded in part by the Bureau of Justice Assistance
  (BJA).

  No, Microsoft would not email or call you unsolicited. Or they would know if there were any errors
  on your computer. So those are the frauds or scams to get your money or worse to steal your
  identity.

• Scam Phishing Adobe

  Hi, I expect email directly on Adobe but, it took a while to find a way, and it looks like my best shot.

  I just wanted you to know the e-mail I received last night:

  [edited by the host of the forum - content email removed for security reasons]

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  I'm sure that it is safe to say that it is a phishing scam, so I wanted to just anyone out there to be aware of the existence of this site and this email is probably spreading around.

• page appeared on closing my browser stating that I do not have the latest version, it uses the version 30 may be phishing scam

  See above

  It sounds like phishing. This happens every time, or he could have one pop - under page to a random site that does not necessarily indicate something lingering on your computer?

  One of your extensions was said to be often bundled with other software, so you can check the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if something unexpected is. Click on the column heading "installed on" group by date, which is useful to identify the bundle items.

• 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.

• Why is it so difficult to find an email to report a phishing scam?

  I can't believe that the iTunes store is not an easy find lnk to report scam emails.  Most large companies have this to protect customers, I have not found one to report an email sent to my mother in law.  I hope this is something apple can fix in a relatively short time, cause it will not get better I can see.

  Use [email protected].
