Received calls from someone claiming to be from Microsoft Query support file System32\com.exe
I got a call last night by an Indian company that has convinced me that they called a company called NDCL from Microsoft support. They showed me my file 32\com.exe system and inside was a line of text that says my software warranty expired July 16... it does not specify a year?
Now, I don't know if these people were real, they had access to my system and seem to know a lot about me.
First they cheat me, or are they true microsoft support?
So true and I need to update my warranty please tell us how can I do?
If they were not authentic how can I protect my system no matter what they could have done for her, now?
Your guidance is appreciated
Kind regards

Hello
It was a scam, Microsoft does not contact users without their knowledge.
To be sure, it is best to perform a full analysis of the virus and malware:

We received a call last night from someone who claimed to be the Windows technical department saying that our computer has a file corrupted Microsoft on this issue. First name: Richard Williams. 0261 004030 callback number. Sounds like an Indian call center.
I can't believe that cold Microsoft calls people.
A quick search on google news suggests that people in Britain were targeted by something similar.
It's a scam.

I received a call from someone claiming to be the Microsoft.
Original title: fake call from Microsoft?
08:30... I just got a call from a man claiming he calls Microsoft (sounded Indian)... He began to tell me that I was apparently the Registrant for windows (bad) and I was loading the garbage in the back on the ground, when I tols him would not discuss anything over the phone with someone when I could not check who they were he got snotty with me I told her to remove my number from their database and if they called again I account him for harassment... and then he raised his voice so I said how dare you call me at 8:30 in the morning and holler at me!
Needless to say that the number was not available when I tried to back ring
MS has no way to tell what is on your PC. This is another example of the scam usual ' calls trying to access your PC to enter data and make you pay loads of money for "clean."

is - that someone received a call from Microsoft teak out of the blue saying they have received reports of virus in your computer
Those that are known scams.
Don't always believe what someone says if they call you. This applies to almost anything.

Original title: my computer is corrupt and needs fixing!
I received calls from a person in India who said that they are Windows services centre telling me that they have received the error message saying that my computer is damaged, and they want to help me. But I have not received any error message on my screen. When I asked them how they got my number they said it's from the database of Windows. The number they gave me is 02921252715 and when I called the number of the person on the other end told me that they are a company called Windows e-solution, independent company and is not attached to Microsoft Windows. What should I do? Are these authentic calls and approved by Microsoft Windows?

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 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.
Hello
It's a scam.
We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer, which is another ploy they use to scare you
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.

MX800 enrolled in the TPaaS receive calls from 100 @ numbers
I have a new installation of a MX800 recorded at TPaaS in the cloud, and the unit constantly receives calls from 100 @ and its IP address. This started over the weekend and takes place every 30 seconds like clockwork. Is there some way in the MX800 I can put in the filter restrictions to block calls from probes starting at 100 @ or is it a TPaaS?
Thanks, Jeff
Looks like a someone on the internet is the SIP devices using automated analytical tools known scanning and looking system PBX calls the inside to reduce fresh international of appeal or trying to hack and break the PBX devices. These calls are sent directly to your address IP MX800.
Your MX800 behind the firewall or directly connected to the Public and exposed to the internet?
Try turning off the port of SIP listening for inbound connections on ports TCP/UDP of SIP on your MX800 under System Configuration > SIP settings. If disabled, endpoint won't be available through the Registrar SIP CUCM or VCS via TPaas in the cloud.

I work on this issue and wanted to involve the community.
I have tests the functionality Apple Watch and have been unable to solve my problems with WIFI call. I use the AT & T and I am connect to the strip of the 5 GHz on my router Xfinity.
I am able to make/receive calls from my iPad and Mac laptop when iPhone is off / Mode plane; However, this feature does not work on the watch. I can make and receive calls from the watch when the phone is turned on.
Another problem is that I am not able to send and receive messages (blue or green bubble) of the watch - once again when the phone is turned off or in flight Mode
I'll copy in 2 portions of the Web site: http://help.apple.com/watch/
http://help.Apple.com/watch/#/apd0443fb403
If your Apple Watch is in range of a Wi - Fi network that the iPhone is connected to before, you can always do the following (even if the iPhone is off):
- Send and receive digital messages Touch
- Send and receive messages using Messages
- Make and receive phone calls (if you have active calls, Wi - Fi, and you are within range of a Wi - Fi connected to your iPhone before)
- Check current weather conditions
- Track your inventory
http://help.Apple.com/watch/#/apd2fe746e86
Make calls via Wi - Fi
If your cellular operator offers Wi - Fi calls, you can use Apple Watch to make and receive calls over Wi - Fi instead of cellular network - even when your pair iPhone isn't with you or is disabled. Apple Watch comes to be in range of a Wi - Fi network that is connected to your iPhone in the past.
To see if your carrier offers Wi - Fi calls, see the article Apple Support phone with Wi-Fi calls, then enable the calls on your iPhone and Apple Watch Wi - Fi.
Note: You can make emergency calls via Wi - Fi, but when possible, use rather iPhone over a cellular connection - your location information will be more specific.
Enable on iPhone Wi - Fi calls. On iPhone, go to settings > phone and turn on Wi - Fi calling and application to other devices.
Enable calls on Apple Watch Wi - Fi. Open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap phone, then turn on Wi - Fi calls. If you do not see the parameter, make sure that you have activated calls on iPhone Wi - Fi.
Answer please if you are able to perform any of these functions! And any troubleshooting you can think!

I have... to connect to the 5 GHz on my... router bandwidth.
Hello
These features are not available because Apple Watch cannot connect to a network of GHz Wi - Fi 5.
If your watch is not connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth, but lying in a 2.4 GHz Wi - Fi network your iPhone plugged in before, the watch can connect to this network and you can continue to use certain features, including Wi - Fi calls (when it is supported by your operator, you already have in place).

Should I buy an online number, how much does it cost to receive calls from the fixed network or mobile on my Skype online number?
