  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.

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

• I use my iPhone 6 very often to my office for phone calls.  This will help overall battery life to stay connected as I have all these phone calls?

  I use my iPhone 6 very often to my office for phone calls.  This is my work phone.

  This will help life battery together if I keep the phone plugged in my phone calls?

  Thank you

  SUSE, you can use it while connected and in this way when you unplug to get somewhere, you know you will have a fully updated beautiful upgraded battery.

  Just don't leave it plugged constantly all the time — weeks or months.  A battery lithium needs periodically some running through it.  But certainly leave it plugged during the day of the company while using it, or even just for long calls will do no harm.

  Battery life is determined by the cycles, so if this reduces the rate of your phone through equivalent full charge and discharge cycles it can not hurt self-help (depending on how you use it, it cannot help battery life much either, but it probably won't hurt it).

• ATTENTION: the Tech support phone call scam.

  I just got a phone call from a woman with an Indian accent very thick, arguing that the IP address of my computer was now public and hacked my computer.  She even transferred the call to the Ministry "Hand Macintosh Server" to talk with someone named John Williams, who provided this phone number:
  (855) 876-6657.
  I immediately called the Apple Store and they agreed it was a scam.
  Please pay attention.

  Thanks for letting us know - always wise to be on the lookout and to maintain the level of healthy skepticism on this kind of unsolicited calls

  Not sure what they could have done while they had remotely
  access. That's why I strongly recommend you do both of the
  immediately following:

  1. change all your passwords, mostly all banks or any other
  financial institutions.

  2 reinstall Windows properly.

• Phone call scam?

  Received a phone call from 'Charlie' who claims to be from Microsoft. Thay have received error messages and had need for me to go to the computer and technicians would solve the problem. I said that I didn't have the time or I was getting error messages. I asked for the phone number to return his call. After hesitating, he said on the phone 213-289-3737 and ask for "Charlie".  Is it a scam?

  Hello

  Yes, it's a SCAM!

  The number is usurped or forwarded to another number, perhaps another country.

• Phone calls scam

  Someone just called me to say they were soft micro and called people in the region that pc has been infected.  I asked how they could call it everyone and she said they could and called the people who was most infected the pc here.  The she called from, there were 804-466-9633 and she said her name was Anita or something like that.  I hung up the phone when she couldn't give me a number at microsoft.  I'm sure it was something she wanted me to on my pc to give control of, but it was not yet on time and I hung up on her.

  We thank you and hope this helps someone else.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Facebook 1.5 - connect contact initiates the request for phone number

  Hello

  Just installed Facebook 1.5 on my Curve 8900 and I am trying to manually link some FB friends to the contacts of BB.  Whenever I do this it sends a request to the FaceBook friend's phone number when it connects to them.  Does anyone know of a way I can turn this option off?  I want to just connect, not request a phone number, otherwise I would have chosen the option "request phone!

  Thank you

  DOM

  Yes, the 1.5.0.32 FB version corrects this problem.

• Received phone call scam

  original title: invasion

  Today, I got a call from phone of someone who said they were from Microsoft. They explained that they knew my PC had a few problems with virus and asked me to go through some formalities. I began, then became suspicious when I asked if they could give me an identification. More than two people came to try to persuade me to continue the program, they have tried with the first caller.

  I refused, asked their names and company they also represented, I said I was recording the call via the habit (a white lie) and then he hung up.

  I've composed 1471 and the number, they called a 02012574201 I guess it is a scam and warns other PC users to take note

  You are right.

  It's another scam.

  Thanks for posting this information.

  See you soon.

• iPhone ring is not for phone calls or texts

  I have a 5 with IOS.2 which I believe is the latest and greatest iPhone.  The last week or so my phone was not ringing tone for calls or texts.  I did a number of reboots and works for maybe an hour or two but then back to the same thing.  No sound.  I changed the sounds for calls and texts, but that did not help.  I did everything suggested on the Internet so now I ask you guys.  How can I fix it?  I'm not on do not disturb, his is in place and all I can think is fair.  Can anyone help?

  Thank you!

• 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.

• bad audio quality for phone calls

  All the people who contact me by telephone say they cannot hear me or my voice seems to be under water.
  I experienced this kind of problem with the complete signal in 3g 2g / 4g.

  It is possible that I have a problem with microphones?

  See if you have the microphone noise suppression enabled in the settings of the call.
