• Error report followed closely by scam phone call.__04 June 2010

  Error followed by phone call report scam. (£79 for a new Microsoft license request). I'm in the United Kingdom.

  June 4, 2010

  I, also, have just received a phone call from scam shortly after the presentation of a microsoft error report. The appellant was Asian, as if the others were and he claimed he was from Microsoft. I had downloaded a rogue file that was causing my computer works more slowly and asked me to click on the Start button and open the "run" command, he said. He asked me to type "eventvwr", this brought an observer called window events. He asked me to click on the app and got my attention to the error and warning symbols in the open list. He then asked me to click on system and see the symbols contained in this list. He then said he would connect on a technician who would correct the mistakes on my computer but my license has expired and I had to buy another before PayPal mistakes could be corrected. He quoted £79 when asked. He would tell me how to send money via Paypal when I told him that I wasn't going to send money to anyone. I said, 'as far as I know, you could be a criminal trying to pull a scam. "Anyone can phone up and say these things."  Oops, I had caught. "YOU CALL ME A CRIMINAL. "Well WELL YOU GO COME AND PASS 200 lbs ON A TECHNINICIAN BLAH, BLAH RANT, rant", and then he slammed the phone down. There, he, he. ****.

   

  Hello

  It seems that you had a telemarketing call or what we call a call of the scam. Do not provide a personal information in your.

  If you are in the United Kingdom and the appellant made an offer to help a royalty payment, you should contact the national fraud authority.  Details are on their website at:http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/

  The NFA has pledged to track down and eliminate these criminals, but they need all the help they can get to identify scams, if they do not speak that they can act.

  If you can at least get a website URL, which could be useful in a report.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently

  Cybercriminals often use the names of well-known companies, such as ours, in their scams. They think it will convince you to give them money or your personal information. While they usually use email to deceive you, they sometimes use the phone instead.

  Common scams that use the Microsoft name

  • A person of "Microsoft Support" calls to fix your computer
  • "You have won the Microsoft Lottery"
  • Microsoft "requires credit card information to validate your copy of Windows.
  • "Microsoft" send unsolicited e-mail with attached security updates

   

  Avoid these dangerous hoaxes

  We do not send unsolicited e-mail messages or make phone calls unsolicited request personal or financial information or repair your computer.

  If you receive an unsolicited e-mail or phone call which is supposed to be from Microsoft, and request that you send personal information or click on the links, delete the message or hang up the phone.

  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.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you've been scammed.

  You did not win the "Microsoft Lottery".

  Microsoft customers are often the target of a scam that uses messages falsely promise money. Victims receive messages saying 'You won the Microsoft Lottery!' There is no Microsoft Lottery. Delete the message.

  If you have lost money to this scam, report it. You can also send the police report to Microsoft, and we will use it to help the security forces to catch criminals who send these e-mail messages.

  To protect yourself against these e-mail hoaxes, you can use the same general orientation you use to protect yourself against phishing scams.

  Microsoft do not ask for credit card information to validate your copy of Windows

  We require that your copy of Windows is legitimate before you can obtain programs from the Microsoft Download Center or receive software updates from Microsoft Update. Our online process that performs this validation is called the Genuine Advantage Program. at no time during the validation process we request your credit card information.

  In fact, we collect any information that can be used to identify you, such as your name, e-mail address or other personal information.

  For more information, read the Microsoft Genuine software privacy statement program.

  To learn more about the program in general, see Genuine Windows: frequently asked questions.

  Microsoft sends no communication unsolicited on security updates

  When we publish information about a security software update or security incident, we send e-mail messages only to subscribers of our security communication program.

  Unfortunately, Cybercriminals have operated this program by sending fake security messages that appear to come from Microsoft. Some messages to attract the recipients to Web sites to download spyware or other malicious software. Others include an attachment that contains a virus. Delete the message. Do not open the attachment.

  Legitimate security communications from Microsoft

  • Legitimate communications do not include software updates as attachments. We never attach software updates to our security communications. On the contrary, we refer customers to our site for more information on the update or the software security incident.
  • Legitimate communications are also on our websites. If we provide information about a security update, you can also find this information on our Web sites.

• phishing scam?

  I just got a phone call from AMMYY claiming they are microsoft.  I got suspicious.  They are actually affiliated?

  These scam calls are usually of a person representing Windows rather than Microsoft, but in any case, the call was nothing else than a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

  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! Please do not take into account these calls and hang up immediately.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently

  On another note, if you have problems with your computer, please do not hesitate to post a description of the situation and the error messages you received in those forums. We would be happy to help you. (information staff unnecessary or requested !)
