  Hello

  I just got a call from the service center of the sentence above, Microsoft asked them to call.  They said that I got the virus bluebird on my computer and it would break in 2 days!  I guess it's a total scam

• Is the phone call from someone with Microsoft real?

  received a phone call from someone who said 'they were Windows and one person was haking the computer/laptop from my house', I would like to know if this is true and how to fix it?

  * original title - Haking *.

  It is certainly not true.  Microsoft does not contact customers unless they contacted Microsoft first and asked to be contacted.  It is a scam, just hang on them if they remember.

• Phone call from fake Tecnical Microsoft company?

  Hello.  Just had a phone call from a person accentuated heavy telling me that I had a few problems with my PC, he asked that I turn it on so that he could help me. There siad it was a Microsoft technical service and he knew that I had problems, I refused to do what he asked of course.  I called 1471 and his number was retained. I would like to hear your comments on that.  How did he know I had problems? Thank you. Trish

  It is WRONG of course and it's SCAM.

  Could someone tell just a PC has a problem, no matter what operating system you are using due time, it will become slow or programs you have installed can cause problems. That's why clean and defragnment came and also in more technical case he was invited to contact Microsoft support. The person calling you don't know what your problem is and just make a few guess common problems which may confront a system.

  Microsoft will NEVER call you unless you called them or ask them to call you.

  I suggest you take a look at:

• Phone calls from the India

  I keep getting phone calls from a person in India (or a person with an Indian accent) who says that he comes from Windows and there is a problem with my computer.  He calls me by name and asks me to turn on my computer, that I refuse to do.  This looks like a scam to me, given that Windows notifies users of problems with updates on the internet.  In addition, I am on the "do not call" list, but it seems to make no difference.

  What happens here?

  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

• Phone call from the Adobe billing department

  I received calls from the 408-454-2934 number, my caller I.D. not stating that it is from San Jose, California. Although Adobe's corporate headquarters is located in San Jose, the phone numbers do not match. After a search fast on google, I found that it could be a scam of collections, the appellant to do pretend to be collections of Adobe to update credit card information. More probably because your payment is late or not can not be processed. If you do not need to update your payment information, on your Adobe account page instead of by phone. I believe that adobe would simply suspend your account until you were able to continue to make payments. Anyone calling for the credit card or other personal information is probably a scam these days. Be careful.

  The telephone number provided by you is not scam, it's a number between our billing service that helps you update the credit card details, if necessary, inform & help if payments are blocked due to any reason.

  I continue to receive phone calls daily from the apparent 'technical Microsoft LCC online' they say mistakes keep produce and seem very determined to get in touch, but I'm suspicious because I don't know how they got my phone number and they will not stop me.

  • Convince you to visit legitimate Web sites (like www.ammyy.com) to download the software that will allow them to take control of your computer remotely and adjust settings to make your computer vulnerable.

  • Request credit card information so that they can charge you for bogus services.

  • Direct you to fraudulent Web sites and you prompted to enter the credit card and other personal or financial information.
