Hello

"to find errors sent to Windows.

There are NO errors sent to anyone.

It's a scam.

It is general guidance for this type of "cold" calls.

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.

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

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

And Microsoft does not 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)

See you soon.

    It's not legitimate.
    It's a scam and with various names and phone numbers, is
    becomes more common lately.
    In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
    If you leave them in your computer, which knows what losses they did are
    where confidential information they stole.

    So if you have done so, I highly recommend that you do both of the following
    immediately:

    1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.
    2. change all of your passwords, especially banks or other
    financial sites.

    Report any where, unfortunately, doesn't help.

    Yes, it is a complete and utter scam.  Assuming that you don't give them access to your computer, you're probably pretty course.  They are the so-called "canvassing" - selection of lists of random phone numbers and try to sell services and/or access to your computer.  You did the right thing, hang up on them.

  • I received a phone call from a fellow of the center of Windows Service in Ontario

    original title: Windows repair center

    I received a phone call from a classmate of the Service Windows in Ontario reports saying they received a lot of error in my computer and he was going in wrong places. I had no idea. His name was Nelson Jones, and he was actually control my computer. That interested me. Also, he wanted me to register with Windows Server so that they could help solve my computer issues, at a cost, of course, I expect if it is not a scam. Is there a way that can be verified. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

    It is a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

    Reported people on these calls for a person who represents Windows (note: not Microsoft).

    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!

    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 Adobe

    Hello

    I got a phone call from "Adobe", saying that they could reduce the subscription of my company of ~ £53 per month to ~ £38 per month and per user because they had complaints about the cost. However, he could not just reduce my subscription, he needed me to create a new account or move to a different email address administrator rights.

    I was obviously suspicious so I cut at the beginning of the call and asked an email instead.

    Has anyone else had this experience? Sorry if this was already brought to the top.

    Thank you

  • I have a 6 s with Verizon iPhone. Can I send/receive calls (using this service and calls on other devices functionality) on my iPhone 5s, who was with AT & T service, but has no service now since I switched to Verizon?

    I have a 6 s with Verizon iPhone. Can I send/receive calls (using this service and calls on other devices functionality) on my iPhone 5s, who was with AT & T service, but has no service now since I switched to Verizon?

    Note: I'm able to get two phones to ring with an incoming call, but the 5s consist not out. Whenever I dial a number, it says call failed.

    Do not dial a number. Try to choose a contact in the contacts App and tapping on telephone button.

    That said, I don't think that outgoing calls work on continuity since another iPhone. given that the iphone is designed to make calls through its own service.

    Document to support that you just did not mention calls from a secondary iPhone at all, it points to Mac, iPad and iPod touch, which leads me to believe that it won't work.

    It runs from devices such as iPads and Macs, who have no other way to place a cell call.

  • Cannot make or receive phone calls after the upgrade to iOS 9.2

    Last night, I could make and receive phone calls. This morning I upgraded to iOS 9.1 to 9.2, and now I can't make or receive calls.

    Any call I make - other iPhones, to landlines, whether on my list of Favorites or not - says 'call X... '. "(where X is the name of the contact - X is omitted if I don't dial a contact). After a few seconds, the phone says "Call ended." and I get three quick tones.

    When they call me, it goes to voicemail once they hear 1 or 2 rings. I don't hear anything. The call does not appear in the 'recent' folder, but I received a voice message.

    I don't have to "do not disturb" lit.

    My iPhone is a 4 s, which can be a key because my wife has a 5. She has just upgraded and has no problem with calls. We are both on the Sprint network, using 'Ting' which is a dealer - so our actual provider's Ting. My phone says "Version 9.2 (13 c 75)", carrier "Sprint 23.0" and model MD377LL/A."

    I turned the phone on and off several times, and also to do a reset (now hold both power and home until the apple logo appears). neither helped. I double-clicked the original key and removed the phone application and all other applications, then restarted the phone application, which also helped.

    WiFi works.

    A related issue is to: IOS 9.2 update .

    OK, now it works.

    I think that what I had was specific to my carrier - as well as anyone with this problem likely needs to communicate with their provider!

    For Ting (Sprint), here's what I had to do:

    1. to connect to a Wi - Fi network

    2. dial # 873283 #.

    3. press the call key

    4. press "Start Service Update" and wait a minute or two.

    5. press on "Full Service Update" and wait a minute or two for the phone to reconnect to the Sprint network.

    6. once the upper line shows that Sprint is connected, I could make and receive phone calls.
