Received the phone call from Tech Dept of Win.Op.Sys.Suport told me my computer was sending messages of error and called my CLSID? is it a hoax?

Call Tech Dept of Win.Op.Sys.Suport has been saying

my computer was sending Of Error Messages

Dennis Clarke cited my CLSID

How did get my phone number?

How did get CLSID from my computer?

Is this a hoax OR an attempt to get (more) into my computer?

Think this will answer your questions - it's a scam similar to that discussed in this thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/just-had-a-call-regarding-ammyy-admin-is-it/ead4bc40-75a3-4383-b539-7d01a83f32ae

  • 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

    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.

  • Volume icon appears at random then spend or receive the phone call

    Hello

    Without doubt, I went through all the threads it are on the theme of the volume icon, but have not found anything that fits my 'problem '. I have an iPhone SE and sometimes when I make or receive a phone call the grey volume icon appears on the screen. I attributed it to the apps from third-party such as IMDB or Facebook but tried various scenarios and honestly can't pin it down to a specific. Someone at - it a similar problem? To be honest, it's quite annoying to see the gray icon volume pop up like this out of nowhere. I should add that all is well in terms of volume and the volume keys. No clue as to what causes this problem?

    Peace,

    Wojtek

    How do you know that all is well with the volume keys? They can work properly (increase or decrease in volume when you press on), but there might be a problem with the hardware with them or the mute button.

    Make an appointment on the Apple store and bring the phone to be checked.

  • Received the phone call from support, is this a scam?

    Just got a "phone call from an Indian call center, arguing that my PC send malicious messages. They wanted me to run a Prefetch. I pretended that I he had just had a power cut and could not operate my computer. After asking SEVEN times how he got my ' phone he hung up.

    I had 4 phone calls during the month. The first, I was late for an appointment, and I had to go. Fortunately, I had time to think and realized it was a scam... Be caught unawares gives them the advantage

    The second, I knew it was a scam. I listened and then never said thank you and hung up.

    During the 4th, I was ready for a little fun. First of all, I unplugged the ethernet from the modem, just to be doubley sure.

    He guided me through his wicked manouevers, and every time I lied I did. When it asked me to press the Microsoft icon to the right of the Ctrl key and 1, I said "I have an Apple on this key". He said 'you have a Mac. I said: 'no, I have Windows to the top. Microsoft icon beside the right Ctrl key. I can get my Mac computer to Windows with these keys. "He said"I'm confused"I answered:"have you not heard of the latest technology. It's called the computer Jekyll and Mr Hyde' at this stage that he hung up.

    The longer you keep him talking, the greatest of his phone bill will be and it loses time to scam someone else.

  • 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!

  • Received the phone call from 'Computer Maintenance of Windows operating system', is it a scam?

    Original title: scam or not

    I just got the phone is off "Windows OS computer maintenance required", I went through the senario execution because I apparently files may contain a virus.  I got a number to call back and ask for Henry 02 80060075 apparently in Sydney.  I remembered and has a call center responded in the form of windows.  After going through several id checks which they knew my CLSID number but one of them that I take now is the same number for many people.  In any case I tell them I work for a COMPUTER company and would take my computer to work with them check.  The guy said that he did not believe I worked for a COMPUTER company, because I did not understand what they are trying to help me for a very small cost of AUD $110.  After a long debate and tell him, I thought it was a scam I hung up.

    So my question is: Windows to call Manila on a Saturday night at 5:30?

    It is a popular scam. Microsoft has no unsolicited phone calls. You should read the very first post on this forum.

  • Someone took control of the PC, after receiving the phone call scam

    My family got a call from someone who said they could solve its Windows problems-she had not reported it. They he kept on the phone for an hour, asking him do things on his PC, then it said to turn and they would be back ring. She could see the displacement slider and study programs. I checked this forum (brilliant ease) and after reading some posts I advised her to stop everything and ring of his bank to check its details would be safe. The hoaxters rang her back, was annoyed when she told them that she believed they are fraudsters. They claimed to be true and asked for the money for the work they had done. She hung up. They rang again and hung up when her husband answered. What are the measures that it should take now? Can report it? These people are not the phone ring every few minutes. My rels do not meet good course but it is ruining their day.

    Hello

    I suggest you to report an Internet Crime complaint, see link below: http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx

    You can also try communicating with the local authorities to report the problem.

    Almost certainly, it was a scam and with various names and phone
    numbers, one that has become very common these days. See

    In addition to their money get on your part to do anything of any value,
    If you leave them in your computer, who knows what they were doing or where
    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. after reinstallation of Windows, change all your passwords.
    especially the banks or other
    financial sites.

    Since they have perhaps installed a recorder of strikes, changing just your
    Passwords may not be good enough.

    ADF

    ADF, I received today a similar appeal.  When I questioned his information on the company, he was very defensive and said "I have no cold calling, I'm in East London" I asked him to give me the name of the software MS causing errors, during which he compiled a long list of file extensions and avoided the question.  When I asked her name and phone number so I can get my husband to call him back, he began to read a number on phone, but the figures '0-1', the line was cut off.

    I'm sure you made the right choice in putting an end to the conversation of what I lived today.  I have no idea how you would report to Microsoft, but wanted a response to you here to support your actions!

    I received a phone call from someone claiming to be windows and I have stupisly access to my computer, but does not give them the credit card details.  This could be a problem

    Hello Ann,.

    If you allowed them access to your PC, then it is a problem. I considered reinstalling my OS and change all my passwords. It would also make sense, if you use the online banking etc., to inform your bank that you have a security hole on your PC. This will alert them to anyone using your current password to the Bank etc.

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.
