• 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

  If Hotmail is not your e-mail provider, contact your ISP. If you provided the connection information by clicking a link in an email and you believe that you have been a victim of phishing, change your password * immediately * by going to the site that you thought that you connect to.

  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?

  Hello

  Its a SCAM!

  In the United States, you can contact the FBI, Attorney general, the police authorities and consumer

  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

• 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.

  If you find other strange symptoms, see our article on support for suggested scanning/cleaning tools: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware.

• 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].

• Is this a Trojan or phishing scam?

  When I try to connect to hotmail instead of the home page, since yesterda another window appears instead.  Top left it has Windows Live TM, then the following:

  Thank you for using Windows Live.

  To continue, please provide the following information.  This information is required to use this Windows Live Service.  We respect your privacy and will use this information in accordance with our privacy policy.

  Review and accept the agreement.  By clicking on I accept means that you agree to the statement of agreement and the privacy of Windows Live Service.

  There are two buttons "I agree" and "Cancel".

  In the top right of the page my username and logout option appears.  I tried to disconnect, but it signals that I him did not successfully.

  Is this a scam of Trojan, virus or phishig or Microsoft actually asks us to check that we agree with privacy and service agreements?  I can't detect something strange looking on the page, but it seems odd that he would start to do this out of the blue.

  Please take it up to Windows Live Solution Center. Choose the forum that corresponds to your problem there.

• New Phishing Scam tries to steal passwords and Apple ID

  Not apply for assistance, but just a heads-up.

  

  This certainly isn't a new type of fraud, but it is worth to remind people, it's there. There was someone in the forums the other day who has lost access to their Apple ID because they responded to such a text.

• Phishing scam address added to my BCC

  When I send email to myself using XP and Windows Live Mail to test CCI, there is an additional address which comes outside to withhold Receipents, after the semi-colin. The address to which is added the mine is @CDS066.dcs.int.inet. I switched from Outlook Express because of this problem and wonder why it's happening?

  Sometimes if you put your own address in the field that shows instead of Undisclosed Recipients?
