Strange call from the India, claiming that they had been notified that there was an error in my computer?

• Are you aware of fraudulent callers purporting to represent Microsoft? I received a phone call from a man claiming that he was calling on my MS Windows System.

  I received two telephone calls from a seller who claims to represent Microsoft saying that my computer was "unwanted download."  He has given two different names for him society, something like 'Windows provider Services' the first time and was the call from a blocked number.  He directed me to some information in my System Manager (right click on computer, then Event Viewer) who recorded downloads of updates to MSWindows (lucky I knew what I wanted to).  I wanted Microsoft to know that there were people claiming to be outside suppliers working for MS calling and giving misleading information.  I do not see who to contact about this, so I'm posting this information here, hoping someone will pass this along to the appropriate Microsoft part.

  I had my Windows operating system from a seller so I knew from the start (before even that I was their number has been blocked) that I was dealing with a fraud, but the guy was very persistent and had an accent of the Indian subcontinent, so if I didn't it would have been pretty convincing.
  In any case, I hope that this help catch the guy.

• I received a call from a woman said that she was with the ICC with Windows service provider and that they were getting the error messages from my computer

  * Original title: scam or not

  I received a call from a woman saying that she was with the ICC with Windows service provider and they received my computer error messages and I wouldn't be able to help me solve it.  I asked for a number of 800-373-4609 because he came unknown on my phone.

  Is it a scam?

  (Moved from P & M)

  Yes, it's a scam. When someone calls and says they need to talk to you about 'mistakes' in your computer, simply hang up.  I just had one of these calls myself about 15 minutes ago.

• I used chkdsk after trying to do a defrag and send a message that there was an error on the disc.

  original title: computer Dead after chkdsk

  I used chkdsk after trying to do a defrag and send a message that there was an error on the disc.  Asked me to use chkdsk after a statup as a volume is in use.  I did it but when I went through the suite, the computer was completely dead.  I think I gave the wrong settings of the chkdsk command.  How can I get my computer operational again?  I use Windows XP

  What do you mean by 'completely off '?  Is - literal?  All in all, nothing happens when you restart the computer?  No noise?  No fans? No beeps?  No video, no BIOS or POST information appear?

• I got a call from people claiming that there was a problem with the computer.

  Original title: scammed by PCWizards?

  A few days ago I received a call from PC assistants saying they were Windows operating system support. They tell me that they have noticed that I had many requests from spam junk that was slowing down my computer. Unfortunately, as I had a big problem with my computer in time, I bit. I was very nervous about it at the time, but since I had so many problems with my computer and that you didn't know what to do, I fell prey to their plot. They talked to me in a 6 month contract for a fee of $99.00. After they have finished the maintenance on my computer, it worked very well, too gullible me thought: maybe they are legitimate.

  At the end of the interview I googled their business and came across an article that has been exposed as the crooks and claims that Wizards PC installs a spyware sophisticated by giving them access to the victim's computer remotely.

  To reassure myself, I decided to call using my Norton Security System. Their technician checked my computer and found a few things that their technology did not that he should have done; such that no detected restore points, the registry was not cleaned (35 detected registry errors) and it did not remove some software malware browers (toolbars).

  On his recommendation, I recalled PC assistants. The first tech I talked didn't seem to know what he was doing, so I hung up with him and sent their support line and ask them to address these problems or I would withdraw the payment from my credit card. Almost immediately after sending the e-mail, another technician called me. Unknowingly, I had all ready filed a dispute with my credit card company. I intend to cancel the service, but I am still concerned by some spyware detected on my computer. What is the best way for me to handle this? How can I get authenic proof that I was definitely scammed and I should report it to the Internet Crime Center? Using my computer for a few basic daily functions, must not be so stressful!  Any constructive guidance would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  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 gave them remote access and if you do Internet banking, contact your bank, 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.

• Phone calls from the India

  I keep getting phone calls from a person in India (or a person with an Indian accent) who says that he comes from Windows and there is a problem with my computer.  He calls me by name and asks me to turn on my computer, that I refuse to do.  This looks like a scam to me, given that Windows notifies users of problems with updates on the internet.  In addition, I am on the "do not call" list, but it seems to make no difference.

  What happens here?

  For more security, I recommend that you scan your computer with Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware. Make sure that you update Malwarebytes before analysis. The version of SuperAntiSpyware I linked you is portable and should not be updated if you scan with him a few hours to download. Post back with a summary of the results there may be additional steps depending on what types of malware is detected.

  There are a lot of different scammers do these kinds of phone scams. They operate worldwide and are difficult to control or track. Personally, I am red which helps.

  Some people say that they don't own a computer and hang up. In this way these specific Crooks, at least, have no reason to remember.

  Your best defense is to know when it comes to scams - tell your family and your frends too.

  Although you already seem to know that these calls are usually scams, here's my usual advice:

  «Do not make 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.
