Questionable phone call

• iPhone 7 micro cut the phone calls

  I have a 7 32GB iPhone. Im running iOS 10.0.1.

  The problem that I am running is that when on a call FaceTime Audio, regularly call FaceTime or a regular phone call, my microphone seems to be cutting out and sounding very scrambled according to several appellants, when a speaker. They say I look fine and clear when not using the speakerphone, but the moment I switch to speaker mode on any type of call, by default for FaceTime, callers are immediately reporting that I'm cut in and out, and when I'm not cut I garbled sound. As soon as I put the call on the ear mode, I look very well again and it isn't a problem.

  To diagnose this I tried to have friends use my phone and I hold the phone in different positions away from them and in environments of different intensity. No matter what either the environment, people report that using the speakerphone, the phone cuts and is blurred. I don't have this problem when I was running iOS 10.0.1 on my iPhone 6 before I updated, so I'm assuming that it is a hardware problem with my new iPhone 7.

  For the first time poster, so I hope that was enough information and enough I hope to get some clear comments.

  Thanks in advance!

  I'm having the same problem only the exact opposite. Callers can hear me well on speaker, but not on phone normal ear mode. I tried with case and without breakage. Question has been lived with more than one caller.

• They have to make a phone call?

  So today, I gave my iPhone 5 to someone so that they could make a phone call. I trust her, and she only used for 5 minutes and he gives back. Later, when I started using it, I double clicked on the Home button and I noticed there was a window open for calls and music. I know not if and why I would have opened, who questioned her and these five minutes. Up and down, she swears she did only a phone call, but I'm still worried. I know that she would not have bought something, because I have never on my phone and once again, within five minutes?

  Is there a way to check what has been consulted, and any other form of activity your iPhone?

  If she used the phone, then calls may be recent. Someone could use music earlier. Alternatively, she could hit accidentally. Either you trust him or you don't. If you have not, change your passwords and restore your phone as new, no turning back. If you do, don't you worry about that.

• Error report followed closely by scam phone call.__04 June 2010

  Error followed by phone call report scam. (£79 for a new Microsoft license request). I'm in the United Kingdom.

  June 4, 2010

  I, also, have just received a phone call from scam shortly after the presentation of a microsoft error report. The appellant was Asian, as if the others were and he claimed he was from Microsoft. I had downloaded a rogue file that was causing my computer works more slowly and asked me to click on the Start button and open the "run" command, he said. He asked me to type "eventvwr", this brought an observer called window events. He asked me to click on the app and got my attention to the error and warning symbols in the open list. He then asked me to click on system and see the symbols contained in this list. He then said he would connect on a technician who would correct the mistakes on my computer but my license has expired and I had to buy another before PayPal mistakes could be corrected. He quoted £79 when asked. He would tell me how to send money via Paypal when I told him that I wasn't going to send money to anyone. I said, 'as far as I know, you could be a criminal trying to pull a scam. "Anyone can phone up and say these things."  Oops, I had caught. "YOU CALL ME A CRIMINAL. "Well WELL YOU GO COME AND PASS 200 lbs ON A TECHNINICIAN BLAH, BLAH RANT, rant", and then he slammed the phone down. There, he, he. ****.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently

  Cybercriminals often use the names of well-known companies, such as ours, in their scams. They think it will convince you to give them money or your personal information. While they usually use email to deceive you, they sometimes use the phone instead.

  Common scams that use the Microsoft name

  • A person of "Microsoft Support" calls to fix your computer
  • "You have won the Microsoft Lottery"
  • Microsoft "requires credit card information to validate your copy of Windows.
  • "Microsoft" send unsolicited e-mail with attached security updates

   

  Avoid these dangerous hoaxes

  We do not send unsolicited e-mail messages or make phone calls unsolicited request personal or financial information or repair your computer.

  If you receive an unsolicited e-mail or phone call which is supposed to be from Microsoft, and request that you send personal information or click on the links, delete the message or hang up the phone.

  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've been scammed.

  You did not win the "Microsoft Lottery".

  Microsoft customers are often the target of a scam that uses messages falsely promise money. Victims receive messages saying 'You won the Microsoft Lottery!' There is no Microsoft Lottery. Delete the message.

  If you have lost money to this scam, report it. You can also send the police report to Microsoft, and we will use it to help the security forces to catch criminals who send these e-mail messages.

  To protect yourself against these e-mail hoaxes, you can use the same general orientation you use to protect yourself against phishing scams.

  Microsoft sends no communication unsolicited on security updates

  When we publish information about a security software update or security incident, we send e-mail messages only to subscribers of our security communication program.

  Unfortunately, Cybercriminals have operated this program by sending fake security messages that appear to come from Microsoft. Some messages to attract the recipients to Web sites to download spyware or other malicious software. Others include an attachment that contains a virus. Delete the message. Do not open the attachment.

  Legitimate security communications from Microsoft

  • Legitimate communications do not include software updates as attachments. We never attach software updates to our security communications. On the contrary, we refer customers to our site for more information on the update or the software security incident.

• Unexpected phone calls.

  I live in England. I regularly receive phone calls from strangers claiming to be Microsoft employees, saying there are some security issues with my computer. They are authentic? Is - this common policy of Microsoft? I usually just say a polite "Thank you" and hung up.

  It is a scam!
  Microsoft will never call you unsolicited. They are trying to access your computer. A search on these forums and you will find a wide RANGE of similar questions about the calls.

  ADF, I received today a similar appeal.  When I questioned his information on the company, he was very defensive and said "I have no cold calling, I'm in East London" I asked him to give me the name of the software MS causing errors, during which he compiled a long list of file extensions and avoided the question.  When I asked her name and phone number so I can get my husband to call him back, he began to read a number on phone, but the figures '0-1', the line was cut off.

  I'm sure you made the right choice in putting an end to the conversation of what I lived today.  I have no idea how you would report to Microsoft, but wanted a response to you here to support your actions!

• Phone call from Windows saying I had many junk files - is it a scam?

  I have Windows Vista HP on my laptop.  Last night, I received a phone call from someone who said he was from Windows & my computer is slow because I had so many unnecessary files.  I was skeptical, but he did as he asked, via start > computer > etc, then typed in 'unwanted Prefetch"as indicated by him who brought up a list of files, which many have been marked! Error.  He kept saying: ' Oh my God ' when I told him this topic, but that Windows could help solve this & not to worry.  Guests were about to happen, so I asked if I could remind him.  Wasn't the answer, but he was going to call again on Monday night.  "Are you in India?", I asked.  "No, Oxfordshire, but I'm of the India.".   I again asked her name/number - he said Sam Hoggard and began to give me the - 5210-01865 - number when my phone battery ran out and cut the call.

  I can't find that any info on this situation from the web, so my question is - is this likely to be a real call?  Windows are proactively calls users?

  Hello hklovejoy,

  Thank you for posting and this bring to our attention.  I can assure you that Microsoft DO NOT contact customers by phone this way.  The engineers of the technical support of Microsoft with customers by phone, only time is if the client contacts the help desk first and asks that we call them.  It looks like the command he had run just listed files but just to be on the safe side I am you provide a link to a post in our security and our Forum of privacy that deals to get rid of spyware or malicious software.  I highly recommend that you read and follow the instructions in the Microsoft MVPs.  The scans are free and I invite you to run all 3 they recommend.  Here is the link to this post:

  How to get rid of Spyware/Malware

  Let us know what are the scans.  If they detect viruses or software malware and you need assistance with remove them if please post a reply and let us know.  Make sure that you include the name of the detected virus/malware, error messages Word for word on the screen that you get, and a description of any behaviour of Bazaar that you noted with your computer.

  Keep us informed and, obviously, if this character happens to you call back do not respect its instructions!

• Suspicious phone calls in Microsoft

  original title: someone at - he was contacted by customer service representatives alleged claiming to represent Microsoft to help clean your hard drive of infections recently?

  A few moments ago an Asian Indian sounding woman called who knew my name and of course my phone number and I was using Ms.  She had opened a list of events of some sort with some 4000 + errors and warnings listed.  She then tried to make me fear with severe warnings about my computer crashing at all moment because I had 1000 virus flowing in my veins of computers.  The woman asked me if I made purchases online and I've loaded movies or photos.   Even though she knew I had MS she didn't know which version I got to the departure, as she began to talk about me as if I was using Windows 7 until I corrected him.  It was a little hard to understand and I have repeatedly asked it to repeat his questions and directions. She then passed me to her so-called technical liaison who was even more difficult to understand.  This man started telling me he was going to clean my disks from the computer and that it would take half an hour to an hour and he's referring to what I thought to be the name of a set of software of safety of a certain type.  I asked him if he was trying to sell me something and he told me that he was just helping me clean up my disk.

  At this point I told him I was not interested by its aid and disconnected the phone.

  How he wonder if Microsoft knows something about such activities?

  These calls are not MS. MS never calls you!

  We received several calls saying updates could not be performed on our computer.  We were warned that the computer may crash.  They asked us to turn on our computer and they would try to make updates in this way.  I have a question the legitimacy of the request and how they got to our phone number.  Please respond by email and tell me it is OK.  In addition, the appellant also had a strong accent, it was very difficult to even understand.  Thank you for your response.
