  scam email?

  Hello, I received this email and I think it's a scam, but how can I be sure, I have not clicked on the link and don't want to.
  the email is of * services of hotmail team members?

  This email was sent to you by WindowsLive Hotmail to inform you that we were able to check the details of your account. This could be due to one of the following reasons:
  1. a recent change in your personal information. (for example: address, phone number)
  2. submit incorrect information during the process of registry.
  For this reason, to make sure that your email service is not interrupted, please confirm and update your information today by following the link below

  If you have already confirmed your information then please ignore this message.
    
  Kind regards
  Hotmail member services

  Thank you for your cooperation.

  This email is a phishing scam. I got the same email this morning and, being the paranoid sort, I always check these things carefully whenever people begin to ask for my "details".

  After carefully checking the sender information in the e-mail header, it seems likely that these emails are broadcast by some kind of composed bot network other hijacked email addresses.

  Secondly, the link provided for you to click, wriggle, shows that it is registered to a Malaysian firm called Emerge Inc. and in the case of most of the browsers will actually trigger an alert to the phishing scam (personally I use FF and Chrome, which gave the alert).

• Am I being scammed? E-mail address is removed from the privacy *, a Claire Hilton and a George Hilton. Am I being scammed?

  I was told that I was taken at random by Microsoft to receive money. E-mail address, that everything is going to is as follows:

  * E-mail address is removed from the privacy *. I believe that I am and have questioned this. They assure me of course that this is not a scam. But they say

  me that if I can't afford to send money for them to send money to me then he will return to the claims Department. So they're actually

  now asking for me to send them approximatelt $ 200 through Western Union. This is where I feel the scam is that this is what they

  will make their money. It's apparently for 2,500,00.00 GBP, so you would think if this amount was granted to make this world a better

  place that they wouldn't pay for the winner to receive. I tried to send it to * address email is removed from the privacy * but it does not accept

  my emails. It is my only way to know what is happening.

  Thank you

  I heard that I won a prize, but no matter how I try to claim that it he told me that I need to check ny email that they sent to me, but no email was sent. I tried 3 times and no still no e-mail. What should I do?

  Hello

  This looks a lot like someone, or trying to rip you off by getting personal information that could be used to defraud you.

  If you've spent money or bank details for these people, I highly recommend you immediately contact the relevant law enforcement service for your competence and your credit card provider / Bank.

  I do not know what details you gave them, but you should be very careful with any email you receive or change your e-mail address. The same with any phone number or other contact details you have given.

  I don't know what legal jurisdiction, you are in, but I recommend to have a read of this site of the British Government with focus on identity theft.

• Am I being scammed? Have a note on the home page, lower corner L saying "this copy of Windows is not genuine".

  Since to see the message, the homepage is all black, but applications are still there and I can open Hotmail etc.  Because I have

  not sure if this is a real message (my "copy" is authentic!)  or try to follow the "instructions" on how to solve this problem.  I was talking to someone from Microsoft earlier today for 45 minutes, but after having located and given him the numbers that he asked, we lost touch and I have not heard back.

  I suggest that you run the Microsoft Genuine Advantage diagnostic tool in normal mode (not safe mode) and copy and paste the results into a response for further analysis:

  Run the tool and when it ends, click the copy button, open a text such as Word or Notepad file and select Edit, paste. You can paste directly into an answer here. Open a response, right click and select Paste.

• MacBook Air tech support scams

  Hello

  Has anyone heard of US Software Solutions Inc. and scams on them? I checked their site, seems legitimate, but anyone can put up a Web site. I called the numbers provided, a person pick up... however...

  I think I have been scammed. Yesterday, my computer froze with a popup that showed that I had a mistake and tech support number provided. I tried to stop the laptop, tried to force quit safari. The pop up kept repeating. I tried to open apple support, tabs would be open but the gel. I called technical support, with hesitation... bad feeling all the time... gave them the $, because they 'fixed' my laptop online... now it works, but I'm afraid to use it. By banking example, passwords etc.

  I am not computer savy.  Any suggestions? Help

  Yes, you have been scammed. Contact your bank for more details on how to deal with the fraud. Immediately change all passwords for anything that may have never accessed from this computer. For ultimate peace of mind, you can restore your computer using a backup prior to the access by criminals.

  For future reference: Force Quit Safari, then restart Safari while holding the SHIFT key... That's all.
