Phone call scam - malware on the pc

Similar Questions

• ATTENTION: the Tech support phone call scam.

  I just got a phone call from a woman with an Indian accent very thick, arguing that the IP address of my computer was now public and hacked my computer.  She even transferred the call to the Ministry "Hand Macintosh Server" to talk with someone named John Williams, who provided this phone number:
  (855) 876-6657.
  I immediately called the Apple Store and they agreed it was a scam.
  Please pay attention.

  Thanks for letting us know - always wise to be on the lookout and to maintain the level of healthy skepticism on this kind of unsolicited calls

• Phone calls scam

  Someone just called me to say they were soft micro and called people in the region that pc has been infected.  I asked how they could call it everyone and she said they could and called the people who was most infected the pc here.  The she called from, there were 804-466-9633 and she said her name was Anita or something like that.  I hung up the phone when she couldn't give me a number at microsoft.  I'm sure it was something she wanted me to on my pc to give control of, but it was not yet on time and I hung up on her.

  Not sure what they could have done while they had remotely
  access. That's why I strongly recommend you do both of the
  immediately following:

  1. change all your passwords, mostly all banks or any other
  financial institutions.

  2 reinstall Windows properly.

• Recover phone calls log position of the telephone Journal

  Hello

  I'm trying to retrieve the position of the PhoneCallLog, based on the name/number highlighted in the PhoneLog.

  If you click the green phone icon, you will see the whole phoneLog.  If you scroll down to the third entry and click on the trackball, BB will give you a list of possibilities with the entry of specified PhoneLog (for example calling NameInTheList, SMS NameInTheList, copy 5556666, set of ring tones, full Menu).

  If you move to the next (or previous entry in the PhoneLog), and if you click again on the track-ball, will list Exchange, based on the name of the person

  (for example calling AnotherNameInTheList, AnotherNameInTheList, copy 8889900 SMS, ringtones Set complete men)...

  I want to retrieve the name, but it's easy once found the position in the PhoneLog.

  Which is actually possible?

  Thank you in advance,

  Hrvoje Kevic

  Hi, Mark!

  I have already created the application that adds a MenuItem the phone log (it is added to the startup of the BB device).  So, when the phone device starts - up, I add the item menu, and when, in the log of phone calls and by clicking on one of the items in the log of phone calls, I get the menu item I want.

  However, I am not able get the name of the participant.

  Here is the code I use to do this:

  public Object execute (object context) {}
  If (context instanceof PhoneCallLog) {}
  _PhLog = (PhoneCallLog) context;
  PAP UiApplication = UiApplication.getUiApplication ();
  theApp.pushScreen (new TTelephoneCallScreen());
  theApp.requestForeground ();
  }
  Returns a null value.
  }

  Is this piece of code written in the right direction?

  Here instead of PhoneCallLog use something else?

  Or is that what you wanted to know what phone call log has been selected?

  When the comparison with the link you send me (which I've used in development - it seems that I was on a good path), I'm guessing that the essential line is

  _PhLog = (PhoneCallLog) context;

  I said like,

  Private Shared PhoneCallLog _PhLog

  If all this is correct, then it seems to me that the only thing I have to do is to create a constructor in the class that implements the screen.  Am I right, or...?

  Thank you for your help,

  Sincerely,

  Hrvoje

• phone calls do not use the apple device

  I get phone calls, saying: do not use your apple device, are these legitimate calls... I'm afraid that I'm a target? I recall once and they wanted me to hang on to my desk top (I have not)... I can't afford to mess up, so I just haven't used :-/

  No, they are not legitimate calls, ignore them.

• Phone call about problems with the 315-633-3442 for scam program windows?

  Calls - call display unknown name showed & number.  Said I was outside and I could take a message :)

  They wanted to solve a problem with windows, when I called them back.

  I asked for her phone number - 315-633-3442

  Gave them no information - but they didn't know my name.

  Feels like a scam...

  Thank you

  If someone * COLD * you called and told me * you * you have problems - this is a scam.

  If you called someone and they later called you back - less likely to be a scam.

• Someone took control of the PC, after receiving the phone call scam

  My family got a call from someone who said they could solve its Windows problems-she had not reported it. They he kept on the phone for an hour, asking him do things on his PC, then it said to turn and they would be back ring. She could see the displacement slider and study programs. I checked this forum (brilliant ease) and after reading some posts I advised her to stop everything and ring of his bank to check its details would be safe. The hoaxters rang her back, was annoyed when she told them that she believed they are fraudsters. They claimed to be true and asked for the money for the work they had done. She hung up. They rang again and hung up when her husband answered. What are the measures that it should take now? Can report it? These people are not the phone ring every few minutes. My rels do not meet good course but it is ruining their day.

  Hello

  I suggest you to report an Internet Crime complaint, see link below: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

  You can also try communicating with the local authorities to report the problem.

• Received phone call scam

  original title: invasion

  Today, I got a call from phone of someone who said they were from Microsoft. They explained that they knew my PC had a few problems with virus and asked me to go through some formalities. I began, then became suspicious when I asked if they could give me an identification. More than two people came to try to persuade me to continue the program, they have tried with the first caller.

  I refused, asked their names and company they also represented, I said I was recording the call via the habit (a white lie) and then he hung up.

  I've composed 1471 and the number, they called a 02012574201 I guess it is a scam and warns other PC users to take note

  You are right.

  It's another scam.

  Thanks for posting this information.

  See you soon.
