• Alleged phone call from Microsoft saying that I had a lot of mistakes on pc

  I was contacted by someone who said he worked for a group on behalf of Microsoft.  He said he had information, based on the responses I got problems I had met, my computer was about to crash and that he wanted to avoid that.  He asked that I hold down the key of Microsoft and the 'r' key who brought up a window 'run '.  Then he asked me enter a few letters.  At this point, I said that I want to talk to a member of the staff of Microsoft.  He said to do and hung up.  Was it a legitimate appeal involving Microsoft?

• I was receiveing calls from microsoft stating that attempts to take over my computer has been detected.

  About once or twice a month, I get a phone call from someone claiming to be with microsoft. This person said that there is evidence that someone is trying to take over my computer. Then he asked me to give him permission to embark on my computer to remove these attempts. My question is... is it the way that microsoft works and is a legitimate call? And should I allow this person access to my computer?

• I got a phone call from 'windows', saying that something was wrong with my computer. SCAM? The next time I uped PC there is something bad--much more slowly, etc..

  About a week or two ago, I received a call from someone who said it was the appeal of WINDOWS.  My PCwas work perfect, but I was told there were problems.

  I did not understand what problems he spoke and asked him if he had the right number.  He did not ask my number when I said that if I

  told him to send me a letterexplaining the problem, if something is wrong. Then, I clung to the top.  Is that what you received no other complaints like that?  The

  next time I used the PC, something is indeed wrong - it is very slow now.  I guess that Microsoft would call, not "windows".  In fact

  I do not believe that Microsoft would call either.  Is that what sounds like someone hacked into my PC or what? Thanks for any help.

  It was a scam and your hang up was wise. If you gave him no

  Could you tell me, how you would contact me to tell me that I had downloaded a VIRUS. Because I keep getting phone calls from someone saying they are from microsoft.

  They are * not * Microsoft. This is a complete scam and one that has become very common these days. Do anything they tell you to do and hang up on them.

• I received a call from Microsoft

  There was a call from Microsoft, the number is+ 20227681500. Ask ahsan shahab, but unfortunately I had not received the call. If someone had made the call so please answer me.my email is ()* address email is removed from the privacy *).

  Did you expect a call from Microsoft (for example, in response to a support request, that you had made for them? If this isn't the case, then unrequested calls 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.

  Please see:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

• I received a phone call from a 'windows teammember' claiming that Windows had received error messages.

  Someone called me suddenly claiming to be with Windows. He said that Winows had received error messages from my computer on the unnecessary files downloaded on my computer, and offering to help me remove... If I give him remote control.   It's for real?  Someone else make that call?

  Many people have had these criminals call them.  I guess that you have hung up on them.

  Microsoft never call someone out of the blue and would not have the necessary information to do so, even if they wanted to.
