  • 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!

  • Received a call from the scam making pretend to be Windows technician

    Original title: the license expires

    Received a call today by a technician from Windows indicating they received the error messages from my computer and that my IP address has been disconnected.  I bought my computer in 2004 and never received any notice.  He said that some of my programs may stop working if I did not renew the license.  My question is - is - it a legal representative of Windows or just someone trying to sell a product?

    (1) "licensing" do not expire.

    (2) no MS gets your computer error messages. In fact, they would have no way of knowing something about you.

    (3) it is not a representative of Windows. Microsoft does not make unsolicited calls.

    (4) it is a well known scam talked again and again in these forums.

    (5) they do not sell anything. They want access to your computer and your credit card. You know what's going to happen.

  • I received a call from the "Department of microsoft technology.

    The appellant wanted to I go to my computer, go to start, select run, and he could help me with an error message that they were receiving. He said that I was infected by a Virus. I've been a little suspisious so I asked him for the phone number of the tech Department, he gave me a number and I called him. The lady who answered the phone was very surprised and said that the number is in no way affiliated with microsft. If there is a reason why microsoft if want to contact me, let me know and I'd be happy to call if I can find a phone number.

    These scam calls are usually of a person representing Windows rather than Microsoft, but in any case, the call was nothing else than a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

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

    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.
