  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.

• Given the run around by Tech Support

  I initially contacted Dell technical support on February 6, 2016. I was told that the problem I saw with the GPU means the tech must be returned for repair. After 5 weeks to be passed around between different support groups and fill in many forms of different warranty transfer (I bought the XPS 15 9550 system in question on the Microsoft Store and in time, it is around the age of 2 months). I'm stuck now entirely.

  I was told the last rep, I talked to (which is a sort of climbing team) that guarantee is now transferred and I have to call the tech support number. I did, just to be told that they cannot possibly do anything and that I must contact the rep who told me to call them. I sent the rep who told me to contact support again and he has not responded to me.

  So right now, I'm totally stuck, no one can help me and I have a broken computer that I had now sat here for almost 6 weeks and I'm afraid to use it because I don't know what could happen.

  After calling 6 times more they say they will do something.

• Is Guruaid a Microsoft tech support legitimate certified company?

  They supposedly 'cleaned' of my laptop last Thursday and said they would maintain for one year for $169.99.  They got into my PC and I watched as they ran a series of programs that I'm starting to security, repairs, etc.

  My reason for how contact support was not treated (receipt of Spam and Phishing emails in bulk in my Inbox, as well as in my junk mail folder.)

  They claim to be certified technicians MS, I don't believe to be true, now that I've seen what they are doing.

  I can't find how to reach MS on this subject.

  Thank you.

  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.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And Microsoft or its affiliates does contact you, unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

• Strange 213 674 8586 - someone call ' one knows if it is a "legitimate" tech support #.

  I received a call from a statement by w/a foreign accent person that I had a problem w / my Windows 7 Home Premium. Sounded suspicious, but he had some info about me that doesn't look like a telemarketer. Said that he did not work for Microsoft and gave me above phone to call at the time where I can be at my computer. Anyone know if it's a Windows Technical Support to the legitimate address #?

  Sounds like a scam to me.  If you are behind a firewall and you have good antivirus software, it is highly unlikely that he could know all of the details on your computer.  Personally I wouldn't trust to any tech support called me with a foreign accent, because I think it's too risky.

  Good luck.

• Is it possible to connect with FACEBOOK Customer / Tech Support? I got my ID stolen FB and I can't connect with a living soul!

  Is it possible to connect with FACEBOOK Customer / Tech Support? I got my FB ID stolen and I can't connect with a living soul! I'm really tired of FACEBOOK and ZUCKERBERG, boasts getting its 1 billionth Member, meanwhile, its members have problems with scams, hackers, even FACEBOOK is now BANNING people for the addition of family and friends! This must be a scam any seriously! Im sick of him, he turned my whole as for social networks. If it wasn't for the fact that I have almost all of my family in Europe and around the world all in one place, I would certainly remove my account. The problem with that is if you delete your FACEBOOK PROFILE, you don't actually remove them. FB keeps them because they are the property of Facebook the minute climb you the post! This information is in the conditions of joining Facebook, but not on the registration page! that is wrong with this picture. THEY HAVE NO SUPPORT, NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT, IT IS Y HAS NO PHONE NUMBER YOU CAN CALL TO REPORT YOUR STOLEN ID AND NOW I HAVE TO ALL RUN IT AROUND TO TRY TO FIND A CYBER CRIME UNIT WHO WILL HELP ME! How can the other thing, I know if Mytechgurus.com is a legitimate business. As I've been hacked and my ID stolen (curiously enough all what's happened just as I was banned from Facebook to add a friend, I've not seen in 36 years.) They have deleted my friendship with her and banned me for 7 days)! Facebook. MyTechGurus.com have charged me $700.00 for 2 pc for serivce of 24/7 for 2 years. Granted they have always been there in the last 6 weeks to help with all the problems that the pirate had created. They've phoned while I had a technician remote access online help with verbal information as it was a huge problem. but I put it back now because a governing body here in Australia called SCAM WATCH who is supposed to tell you who is a scam and is not was good enough to tell me that they are there only to report a scam, they can not physically tell you if one of them is actually a scam or not! I was left to literally chasing my own tail! HE IS THERE ANYONE TO HELP ME AT ALL!

• IS IT Live Limited Tech support Microsoft partner?

• New technologies of Image, OMG Tech Support and PC health Boost legit or scammers?

  I downloaded PC health Boost in response to a pop up and signed for $29.  The technician got remote access to my computer and made several areas requiring a rationalization suggested a best anti malware. He suggested that I could take my computer to the local Office Depot, or doing service remotely by the OMG Tech Support for $299 for a year of technical support. I signed up for remote assistance - for what he called a step 13 tune up and 1 year service tech for $299. He also suggested Stopzilla anti malware software for laptops for $50 each. I paid $405 with my credit card. He transferred me to a technician from the OMG that was supposed to take charge; I was to leave the computer open, connected and powered. I checked at 2:40; Watch box still "awaiting technician. About 07:00 msg showed work was going on, do not touch the mouse or keyboard. I tried to find a few reviews for OMG Internet and came across a question as to if OMG was a scam. The expert's response was that it was because of several reasons, she cited. I called automated national operator and request Microsoft support services, received somehow a couple of numbers in New York. (We are in the State of Washington).  I called the number that turned out be the support for new technologies of the Image. They said that OMG was a scam, Stopzilla was a bad anti-malware and to shut down my computer then OMG couldn't do any damage. I called my credit card to stop payment of OMG, (I forgot to PC Boost) and signed to the top with a new Image for 3 months of technical support and to check on my computer and cancel the job of OMG. The technician of the new Image then obtained remote access to my computer and has worked and will continue tomorrow.

  Now, I am completely lost and scared. Are all scams? They are all legitimate? My computer and information been compromised?  What should I do?

  Of the tank and into the fire. The list of scammers to which you have subscribed is more, isn't it.

  Keep a note of all companies currently take you on a tour at your expense and then make a return to the installation of the factory of Windows to ensure that, when everything is back running, all passwords are replaced by something very strong.

  Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

  This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

  For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

  For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

  For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

  For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

  For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

  For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

  For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

  Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

  Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

  You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

  After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

  Likely, you will not answer to a popup in the future that requires money in Exchange for the worst computer support that you will never get...

• Is it true that it costs $99 / month for Mozilla Tech Support if needed?

  A parent who has been using FoxFire for years had a major problem with the loss of his data; After doing everything possible (restorations, etc.) he called Mozilla Tech Support and they said: of course, just give us your credit card; the charge is $ 99 for 30 days of technical support. He called the right number?

  Sorry to say but your parent has been scammed.

  Support us here. Mozilla does NOT support. If the problems persist post on this forum for help.

  I'm sure that there are many places calling themselves Support Mozilla, or something very similar. More frequent are scams of Microsoft/Windows. Whowever is probably does not have a traceable site.
