Scam phone calls re malware indicating that they are "Microsoft."
Hello I get a series of scam phone calls indicating that they are of "microsoft" and say that I have a problem with my computer. The numbers on the caller ID of the phone are: 002133333206, 003105999211, 002532362020, 002063971113, 003606339006, 0013212000143 and 001753615204. They also asked me similar question such as if my computer is turned on and that it /she (because sometimes it's a woman's voice and, sometimes, a man's voice) can fix it. I always tell them that I'm not interested in such a way they cling fast to the phone. Can you please review?
Fake phone calls to technical support
Such unsolicited telephone calls 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:

Microsoft does ever not requested for telephone calls of support or security.
(such persons may use names other than Microsoft as well)
It's just a technical forum, so we cannot investigate these people. You should contact your local police or the authorities for this.

Hello - I've subscribed to the game, in order to have my library is available with several devices. I also had a lot of songs to convert from vinyl but 128 Kbps. I hope that the game would IMPROVE those at 256 kbps AAC. It didn't happen, and so I left my lapse of a year subscription. Now, most of the songs in my library always show a dotted line Cloud icon, indicating that they are evaluated for the match. Why? And, in this situation, I'm not able to access (play, download, move to the playlist, etc.) these songs. Once again, why? What Miss me? Thanks in advance.
Hello
This suggests that the tracks were not on your hard drive when you remove match. Did you delete the originals so you can stream from the cloud? You save the originals before signing up?

I received recent phone calls from someone who says they are with Microsoft
I received phone calls recently from a person saying they are with Microsoft and that my computer has been downloading unnecessary files. They claim they know because the error and warning messages are sent to the Inbox of Microsofts. I am reluctant to talk more with them.
How can I be sure of who's calling? In addition, if it is true, how can I check my computer?

Scam phone calls from people claiming to be with Microsoft
This morning I received an unsolicited telephone call here in the UK fom someone in a call centre (sounded Indian) who informed me that he was calling from Microsoft and that they were aware that my PC had acquired some malware and I sit at my PC and he would talk to me by find. I told him I wasn't happy to do and that my PC was protected by Norton 360, which has been updated regularly be he assured me that he would not have access to my PC. I had trouble hearing him because there's an echo on the line whenever I spoke, and he said he would ring me back, so far he did not.
I see on the forums there are similar issues in the USA with details where things such as this report. can someone tell members where I can report it to the United Kingdom?
Thank you

Is it a scam? Calling from India indicating that my windows had been compromised.
Had a saying today (to India) call that Windows had been compromised, and they needed to repair. Said tech services MS. tried to get me to give him access to the ammyy.com website, which I think is a legitimate site. They already had my computer number CLS somehow. I do not pursue them, but managed to get his phone number: 315-636-4810. What should I do?
Hello GP.66,
UN less you have prepaid support contract with Microsoft, then Microsoft will never ever call you or send you all your PC problems. It's simply a scam you bring to give access to your PC to allow these people to steal your password and other personal information such as banking passwords etc.
Fortunately, you don't fall for their scam!
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer
In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.
Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.
Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

The phones call log blackBerry smart when they are blocked
Hello
I used to be able to view my call log by pressing the button green call and 'Call up', even when the Blackberry was locked. This allowed me to make calls to numbers passed without entering my password each time. Now without apparent reason, the call log does not show until I have unlock the phone with my password. I have not changed anything in the Options, so I am at a loss.
