This number 209-315-5941 claiming to be part of the Windows support

I am very suspicious about these people call me from a unknown number. They keep the call and I ignore the calls, well I got tired of them calling me so I answered the phone. This Indian accent called saying that my computer is a big threat and that he needs to guide me through measures to end the dangerous threat of damage my computer. He got frustrated when I kept asking question after question because honestly, it's my private life, how he got my number? So he gave it to his superior, he has not even warm me up he was going to do, (I heard him go off on the bottom, as if he were cuzing me), then this Supervisor with another Indian accent said that his name was Jason says they need to guide me through my computer "MyComputer" to show me how to clear the message ive been Windows Welcome. He said Malware and anti-virus cannot solve this problem and I need to follow his instructions. He said hes Windows part and they get the reports if mine was poping up place with my registered phone number. I told him I did not have my lap top with me and he insisted I tell him when he can recall. I said no, «give me your number and ill call that cost you...» "Im bearly on my computer and its only for homework, so I will need your phone number or I'll call direct Microsoft ' he then said hang on and he gave me his number 209-315-5941. Located in Modesto, California, he said to call him PST 09:00 - 18:00... This number is re-routed from another country... maybe the India. I want to ask someone to Microsoft that if this is a scam, it is a separate sector or if I reported my incident?

Please help... I'm not calling this number unless someone can verify that this number is also with the help of Windows.

Thank you!

Jessi

Certainly not from Microsoft Support. This is a known scam that was making the rounds recently.

  • video files preview 'this file cannot be previewed because of an error in the windows media player manager rich low."

    I used to be able to watch VIDEO (including the .avi) files in the preview pane in windows Explorer, but it has since stopped working. This change took place after the update to the latest version on windows media player. (version 12.0.7601.18150)

    attempted fixes:
    1. in options from files of the variations of tab - all reviews of checking / unchecking "always show icons, never thumbnails" and "show previewhandlers in the preview pane. the first has nothing to do with this problem. However, the 'show previewhandlers...

When unchecked the poster preview pane a thumbnail with the icon of the program it is supposed to open, in the present case, WMP, this correction allows the preview of the PHOTO but NOT of VIDEO.

  • Number 1-999 saying he responded to messages from the Windows of my computer

    This is a legitimate number.  Told them that my son was going to fix it

    Reported people on these calls for a person who represents Windows (note: not Microsoft).

    It is 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. They are simple, trying to cheat by giving them your hard earned money in Exchange for anything of value.

    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.

  • I love Personas, but I can't figure out how to display the part of the image that can be displayed at the bottom of the window; How can I activate this part?

    Beautiful image shows the upper part of the window, where the toolbars. But the part that can be displayed at the bottom of the screen (above the taskbar (I think it's called?)) does not appear and I can't remember/find a way to work in so that it is displayed too.

    "Personas" are basically dead. The name was changed to 'Lightweight thèmes' and the Mozilla seems to have lost all interest in this feature. IMO, it is corporate ADHD - build, promote, many users ignore the hook on the feature, of it do not continue to "show the love" and in two or three years 'kick on the sidewalk.

    Basically, the add-on bar went in Fx29 - so there is no image at the bottom. There is an extension that restore the bar of the add-on, and it seems that it supports Personas - based on the screenshots on the page to download add-on.
