• Why am I receiving calls supposely microsoft customer service about my computer being hacked?

  When I get a call the guy on the phone told me that he works for Microsoft and it want let me know they get reports from my computer. The issue is on my pc was hacked. The guy offers to "help me". Of course I do not provide information ask him or give him remote access to my pc.  Why I get this call so often. This is something that Microsoft made normally? I need some answers. Thank you.

  Calls are outside the jurisdiction of the country in which the calls are placed. This is why they do not stop.

  Microsoft has no idea who is running Windows and who is not and certainly can't tell if your computer is infected with malware.

  What you receive is scam calls from abroad callers get your name and phone number from telephone directories online and then call in the hope that there will be a gullible Windows user at the other end.

  Please let your friends, family, work Associates abreast of what is happening and why it cannot be stopped...

• How can I check if my computer is ok? I got an unsolicited phone call and allowed them to access my computer

  This morning, I got a phone call from an Asian man, saying: he has worked with microsoft, I found it very difficult to understand what he was saying and to rehearse a lot, he mentioned "Alureon" and says that my computer is one of the computers on crash today... He then wen on say that they should do support remotely. to help solve the problem, stupidly and against everything I've known I have allowed him... .it all seemed very alarming... it said my computer was about to crash in a few moments and I had to buy the red shield to protect... I hung up, but they called back... ultimately I told them I wasn't buying any and at this point, he got quite angry and asked me why I was wasting his time. How can I check my computer to make sure they did not hurt? and they can access my computer later? I'm asuming that Microsft had nothing to do with it.

  Hello

  It's a scam.

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

  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.

  Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

• Phone scam received call from a technician who said my system was infected

  I am gullible who maybe went too far with the Indian phone call. As I was using my laptop at the time, it was too easy to believe.
  Although I was getting suspicious, I actually entered a code provided by the appellant, to allow the "technician" to advise by online chat. Then I stopped. I'm afraid that may have infected my XP Pro system. I have temporarily restored the system to a date before the call. Is that enough, or should I re install XP from scratch? Also, what is the risk of my main computer, running 7 and not in use at the time being affected?
  What other corrective measures should I take?
  What precautions should I take with respect to online banking?
  Any advice greatly appreciated.

• receive calls of support on errors on my computer

  MAKE CALLS OF SUPPORT.

  I get phone calls from a company called My Windows Support who say they are following the notification of errors on my windows. Apparently, they want to remove these errors to me by asking me to download some software remotely from a website called. WWW.AMMYY.COM I have refused to do so without checking exactly who they are. Can someone tell me if this company is owned by Microsoft, or indeed everyone has had calls from them, or of a similar nature?

  I'm no computer expert, but I'm not about to bring something on my pc without being able to verify its source. Also, I must say that I do not appear to have flaws or ongoing bizarre events with the pc so I'm puzzled about what is going on here.

  It is a common scam. Do not give them information, do not give them access to your PC and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment. See:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  Microsoft does ever not requested for calls. You were right to be wary.

  Also, please NEVER post potentially dangerous links on a public forum where innocent people may inadvertently click on them. Thank you.   :)

• Received the phone call from scam of asking to connect to the computer

  A man with a voice of Indian call center called and asked my friend to connect to his computer because they knew that she had had problems with the help and he called for a "windows service center.  She asked for a number to call back and he hung up.  There is a phishing scam rightnow?

  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!

• I continue to receive calls telephone technical support Windows are a scam

  I keep getting windows technical support calls asking me to put my pc is a scam

  I keep getting windows technical support calls asking me to put my pc is a scam

  Yes! They are * not * windows technical support. It's a scam and with all the names and phone numbers, one that has become very common these days. See http://www.troyhunt.com/2012/08/virus-scams-social-engineering-victims.html

  
  In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value, if you let them into your computer, who knows what damage they did here or what 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.

• How to make/receive the phone call from a laptop connected to the smartphone via bluetooth?

  Dear community of Microsoft,

  I have a smartphone (Samsung SCH-I759) which I want to connect to a laptop running Windows 7 Professional, then I could make/receive the phone call on the cell phone.

  After browse around, I saw several methods to do are pretty simple. Activate bluetooth on both devices connect, match and set - the bluetooth device menu.

  When I followed these instructions, I was able to pair the devices but the ability to use the bluetooth connected as a phone smartphone does not appear. Instead, I have less accessible services in the menu. Here is the screenshot:

  

  For those who have been successfully pair and use their laptops as phone, would you care to share the how-to?

  Thank you

  NALA Jati

  It depends on the abilities programmed into your phone. Your photo, I can say that is not possible on your phone, then you will not be able to do.

  If you want to make/receive calls on your computer, you could try to use Skype or Google Voice.

• Received a call saying that the license for my computer had been corrupted by a virus.

  So about half an hour ago I received a call from a man claiming to be windows saying my computer driver's license starting with numbers ' #$@ "(don't remember figures, he gave me), had his 'corrupted some virus licence' (I think his exact words). I immediately thought that it was potentially a scam because I heard other scam type things that happen on the phone these days, but temporarily, I said 'ok' and he told me that they had tried to contact my computer and have been unable to do so and that he needed to look at my driver's license and give him some info to check that it has not been damaged. That's when the alarm went off in my head and I told him "that I currently have on my computer and it was very good and for him not to worry about it" and then, without waiting for an answer, I hung up.

  This is the story, I didn't give any information other than that I was on my computer as he called it. I wonder if it was a scam, I just played it, and if my computer could potentially be compromised. I run Malware bytes now to scan my computer, but I'm always a little worried.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature 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.

• FaceTime is not receiving calls

  I can make calls on my end 2011 (El Capitan) iMac using FaceTime, but for some reason that I can't receive them. Can I get them on my phone, but my Mac does not "sound". Nothing will come through.

  Any suggestions?

  I'm going to assume that you have checked each of these facts:

  FaceTime can make outgoing calls.

  b. you don't get calls to an email address or iPhone number corresponding to the Apple code that you are currently using. Calls to any other ID Apple that you may have used will not be received.

  c. the appellants are not on your list of blocking.

  (d) at least one of the callers can call other users of FaceTime - but not you.

  If you have verified these facts, please take each of the following steps you have already taken it. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.

  1. open the Notifications pane in system preferences. Select FaceTime from the list on the left. The banners or alerts alert style must be chosen - not None.

  2. in the same window, select do not disturb. If none of the three top boxes on the right is checked, then all FaceTime calls will be blocked in the corresponding conditions. If you want to use 'do not disturb', but you also want to receive calls when it is active, check or for both the two boxes below, according to your preference.

  3. If the built-in firewall application is enabled, please disable it. In case you are worried about the implications of this step, the firewall generally useless when you're on a private behind a router network.

  4. If you have installed any third-party 'firewall', 'security', or 'anti-virus' software, remove it according to the instructions of the developer. All these software are worse than useless.

  5. If you are connected to a VPN, you disconnect. You may need to remove some third party software VPN completely to solve the problem.

• I continue to receive calls from a company called wintech.

  I continue to receive calls from a company called wintech and a man who is obviously in India, but called Shane Watson!   I was on the phone for about 3 hours for him today!  I pay money for them last year and am now being harassed to pay more. He gave me a 020 30262097 phone number and identification number to authenticate his call. The company that the payments go to the e-business solutions East nias. He showed me the screens that are supposed to be errors on my PC and also stated that the pirates are using my IP address to hack other computers?  I don't know if it is a lie. It sounds me again in the morning to take payment for software that is supposed to be for a "performance booster PC + anti software piracy" after reading some of these posts, I'm now really worried that he already won access to my PC.
