• Prefetch unwanted files: call from someone who claims to be from Microsoft

  I just had a phone call very similar to some that I read on the forum.

  The man was of Indian origin saying his name was Mike Davies of Microsoft in Oxfordshire and our computer had generated error reports that slowed.

  He wanted me to RUN a file named prefetch unwanted files, I was a little dubious and told him that I had to pay for my computer and it is supposed to be remembered!

  I told him I thought he could be a crook and he gave me a phone number 01865 600375 to call him if I changed my mind.

  Do not change your mind. It was certainly a crook.

• dealing with the unwanted incoming call to SX 20 during the Conference

  Could someone help me please with a problem I have with a new system of SX20.

  Is it possible that the system can be set to do not disturb when the first call is in place?

  The Polycom VSX 7000, there is a setting in the option multipoint-to-multipoint auto-répondre calls, no auto answer or reject the call.

  This means that the first call can be set to auto answer mode and all calls will be rejected.

  Is it possible that the SX20 can be put in place in this same mode - auto answer the first call and then dismiss all other incoming calls in "do not disturb" mode

  The only option that seems to work is either reject all calls or unwanted calls "ringing" in the session.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  You can change default "Allow" on "deny".

  Conference 1 IncomingMultisiteCall Mode: enable

  Deny: An incoming call will be rejected if you are already in a call. You will not be notified
  on the incoming call. However, the call will appear as a missed call in the call history list.

• Anyone receiving calls from Microsoft Windows (call center from India by the sounds of it) saying that you have a corrupted file? Or is it a scam?

  We received a call last night from someone who claimed to be the Windows technical department saying that our computer has a file corrupted Microsoft on this issue.  First name: Richard Williams.  0261 004030 callback number.  Sounds like an Indian call center.

  I can't believe that cold Microsoft calls people.

  A quick search on google news suggests that people in Britain were targeted by something similar.

  It's a scam.

• Auto unwanted calls hit on my E Expressway

  Dear all,

  The unwanted automatic call hitting my E. Expressway from [email protected]/ * /.

  How can I avoid or block it so that this appeal will stop hiting on my EXP_E.

  Also suggest me if I want to block temporary external public VC call and how do I do this?

  Thanking you.

  It is a well known problem that has been raised repeatedly in recent years. Take a look at some of the threads in this thread: https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/12484441/hack-attack-vcs-express and this could be interesting:.

  https://supportforums.Cisco.com/discussion/12472426/rogue-calls-Expressway-e-can-they-be-blockeddropped

  In short, you can block these types of calls by a combination of CPL and search rules, the corresponding section in the Administrator's guide is referenced in some of the threads.

  You will not be able to stop these calls hit your E, but at least you can prevent these calls succeed, Yes, they will appear in the call log, but that's all.

  If you want to block all external calls, you will need to put behind a firewall and do not allow something external.

  Moreover, for calls SIP that you can prevent a large number of these calls by disabling SIP UDP, however, prevent the H.323 calls is not as simple as that.

• Received the phone call from support, is this a scam?

  Just got a "phone call from an Indian call center, arguing that my PC send malicious messages. They wanted me to run a Prefetch. I pretended that I he had just had a power cut and could not operate my computer. After asking SEVEN times how he got my ' phone he hung up.

  Just got a "phone call from an Indian call center, arguing that my PC send malicious messages. They wanted me to run a Prefetch. I pretended that I he had just had a power cut and could not operate my computer. After asking SEVEN times how he got my ' phone he hung up.

  I had 4 phone calls during the month. The first, I was late for an appointment, and I had to go. Fortunately, I had time to think and realized it was a scam... Be caught unawares gives them the advantage

  The second, I knew it was a scam. I listened and then never said thank you and hung up.

  During the 4th, I was ready for a little fun. First of all, I unplugged the ethernet from the modem, just to be doubley sure.

  He guided me through his wicked manouevers, and every time I lied I did. When it asked me to press the Microsoft icon to the right of the Ctrl key and 1, I said "I have an Apple on this key". He said 'you have a Mac. I said: 'no, I have Windows to the top. Microsoft icon beside the right Ctrl key. I can get my Mac computer to Windows with these keys. "He said"I'm confused"I answered:"have you not heard of the latest technology. It's called the computer Jekyll and Mr Hyde' at this stage that he hung up.

  The longer you keep him talking, the greatest of his phone bill will be and it loses time to scam someone else.

• Received the phone call from scam of asking to connect to the computer

  A man with a voice of Indian call center called and asked my friend to connect to his computer because they knew that she had had problems with the help and he called for a "windows service center.  She asked for a number to call back and he hung up.  There is a phishing scam rightnow?

  It is a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

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

  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!

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

  Read this Information from Microsoft:

  "Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

  Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

  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.

  If you gave them remote access and you did the Internet banking, you'd then contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

  If you have used your online credit card, you should cancel it and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way you should know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

• Error followed by phone call report scam.

  Hi all

  4-5 days, I allowed my system to make an error report after a glitch that makes Windows close. I have not done this before and hardly have these glitches.

  Today, I got a phone call from an Indian call centre telling me that they were Microsoft answering my error report. They had checked and found a deadly Virus that they could correct if I accepted were using their protector of the Advance system. This would eliminate the problems that I had seen (I'm NOT having continuous problems) and speed up my PC.

  I could barely hear what was said the helmet/phone line were terrible, and I told them.

  They said I could join their system of protection to 70 books online and my cyber-world would be safer and faster.

  I said that if their software was as bad as their phone equipment, I wasn't interested.

  However, my REAL concern is that it was the only time where I received my system Windows make an error report. It seems strange that my error report has been so closely followed this call scam.

  This company there in detail the report error and my phone number.

  Or was it just a coincidence.

  Thanks for any input.

  The phone call was not from Microsoft. I suspect that your computer is infected and the 'error report' you got the malware, which sounds like a rogue security program came. Make sure that the computer is clean.
