  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.

  I received a call from the saying that they would help my dose of my windows problems. Is it a scam?

  Hello

  They are cold, you try to pick up the 'business' calling

  It's a scam.

  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.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  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.

• Received a call from someone who said that they were calling on behalf of Microsoft operating systems

  I received a call from someone who said they were working on behalf of Microsoft operating systems, they told me they had my error reports and that the operating system is currently infected. I needed to put an address to go to the technical support they could fix my computer. After saying the first man, I didn't know who he was, or why he was called, he put his superior, she continued to soft sell and finally after their phone numbers: 1-88-408-4118 bearing the name of John Clark, ext. 105. They said they were working out of THE Cal. and gave another number which seems to me to be false. I finally told them I do not trust them and would give no information, they were trying to make me give them access to my computer. Latest phone # was 760-269-3834.

  They told me that my computer would crash, I needed this update, when I asked that if a cost is associated with she said yes 99.00 a year. I told him I have to reconfigure my hard drive with the disk that I had if that is needed. Please tell me that's not microsoft do bussiness in this way.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Please see:

  They will have found your number in a phone book like everybody else.

• Received a call from a person stating that they came from wanting to access my computer Windows.

  Dear Microsoft Answers,

  A female caller with a heavy Indian accent phoned 29.11.11, claiming to be 'Windows' (no mention of Microsoft, as one would expect), based in the United Kingdom. She asked me to connect to the Internet, which I refused. This cold call and a scary message about the potential danger for my PC which struck me as the behavior of a crook. So I hung up.

  The telephone number of this person was 009999100290. By checking this number with www.whocallsme.com, I have discovered at least two other people who had been hit hard from that number of 'Maria' and 'Catherine', respectively. They believed also that was a scam and hung up.

  We were wrong, please?

  I would be very grateful for your comments

  (I have Norton Internet Security installed on my PC. A comprehensive analysis by that revealed nothing suspicious.)

  Best regards

  Hi André,.

  It's a SCAM! Microsoft does not make that neither have they partners that do and don't they hire contractors or individuals or even to find volunteers to do. There are probably thousands of these companies out there do every day - we get two or three posts like this (or more) each day ask about it. You are lucky who have recognized the scam enough not to be sucked in and eventually identify theft, infections, hacking your computer, convince you to buy software or services you either did not need or that do not really exist at all and all sorts of nefarious stuff. You'd be surprised how much contact us AFTER THAT that they realized they had been duped asking what to do. Don't waste time talking to these people, not give them any personal information it is, don't be fooled by what they can get allows you to see on the computer - in fact, not do anything they suggest on your computer or even to visit Web sites they recommend and for the love of God don't give them access to your computer.

  Microsoft knows this is happening, but with these companies popping up like dandelions, or closing and changing names when discovered and operating mainly from abroad, it would take an army of lawyers to sue each other. They do the best they can, but they are just too many and more added every day. People need to pay attention to these things. They occur not only by telephone, but also by e-mail, instant messaging, mail and all the ways imaginable. Forget not that Microsoft doesn't this and hang up or remove the emails or messages or mail from someone claiming that they do because they know the information on your computer or that you want to get information from you to confirm your account so that it will not be closed and asking you your name of user and password and all sorts of other personal information. Microsoft DO NOT!

  Good luck and best wishes!

  Very bad. You have been scammed.

  This is a scam and that is becoming more and more common lately. But even worse, if you let them into your computer, who knows what damage they did here or what confidential information they stole.

  So, I highly recommend that you do both of the following immediately:

  1 do a clean reinstall of Windows.

  2. change all your passwords, especially all of banks or other financial sites.

• I received a call from a woman said that she was with the ICC with Windows service provider and that they were getting the error messages from my computer

  * Original title: scam or not

  I received a call from a woman saying that she was with the ICC with Windows service provider and they received my computer error messages and I wouldn't be able to help me solve it.  I asked for a number of 800-373-4609 because he came unknown on my phone.

  I wanted to open my computer.  I told her I would call her back.

  Is it a scam?

  (Moved from P & M)

  Yes, it's a scam. When someone calls and says they need to talk to you about 'mistakes' in your computer, simply hang up.  I just had one of these calls myself about 15 minutes ago.

• Received a call from phone scam someone saying my computer is infected with the virus and malware

  original title: support for pc rj

  I recently received a call from someone called Mark of pc rj support and they said that my computer is infected with viruses and malware. Immediately, I hang up and called my computer technician who went to my place and said: my computer is absolutely perfect... This chap Mark said he also is an employee of Microsoft, which I highly doubt. He asked me to download something that my antivirus detected as virus...

  I would like to ask microsoft to focus on this

  Its fake. Ignore it. There are a lot of posts here, saying: it's a scam. And this has nothing to do with Microsoft. And MS (and everyone else) are aware of this
