Weird phone call

So earlier today, I received a phone call from someone who wais, they were with the team of Windows 7. The phone call was anonymous, and people on the phone told me that they had received messages of error of some sort. They took me to a window where I would be able to see various errors. There is barely any but they told me my computer had very many errors and was in danger.

I wanted to know if someone never got a call like this before?

Also they took me to a site called teamview so that they could show me the errors by taking control of the computer. They have no control over it now or such a presence. So, I wanted to know if anyone has had this type of call before.

Hello

There are many variations of this type of scam - but it is what it is, a scam.

Microsoft would not contact you about errors on your PC - any error data sent from your PC to Microsoft is anonymous.

Never trust anyone who calls you claiming to have information about a problem with your computer - the best advice is to hang up the phone immediately.

Kind regards

  • I got a phone call from microsoft that malicious software is installed on my computer

    I live in Toronto, Canada. Someone called me and told me that she calls me from Microsoft and said some malware is installed in my computer and she told me to turn on your computer and do the instruction, she tells me.  I do not trust it because it's weird to have a call from microsoft on Saturday evening at 7:00. I said what happened if I didn't, she told me that she disconnects my server computer and tell my provider to block my IP address! I asked his emp ID, name and Department she calls, it just pass the phone to his supervisor, and when I insist on my view that I'm not you trust, he told me that you don't have any technical information. and it was very very rude... Finally I hung upward and the lady called me again and gave me this info: name: Abam Sorgr, empID: 21536 Windows operation system Dept., at Montreal, Canada, she gave me her employee ID:21536, the phone, her name was 65391989 which don't belonge to the Canada. I told him I check from microsoft and you can call me tomorrow. and now I have no idea?

    These phone calls are usually of a person representing Windows rather than Microsoft, but in any case, the call was nothing else than 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 (e.g. RCMP). 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.

    On another note, if you have problems with your computer, please do not hesitate to post a description of the situation and the error messages you received in those forums. We would be happy to help you. (information staff unnecessary or requested !)

    Hi all, I got a phone call from a guy yesterday saying my computer downloaded currupt and Marie-Claire files and had asked, on behalf of microsoft, to contact me this was a business partner?, it was the Indian accent but did not speak good enough English if you listened well, at this point, he had my full attention that my computer was slow in the months , I explained that I had someone find and remove programs for me to speed it up, but it was persistent in getting me in front of the computer. He said he could help me and show me the problems? I asked name hes, he gave and he even new my name and what platform I was using. I don't remember the name of the company, that he said, that he was but the phone number was 0206 something something? After reading this other storys hoax here had me calm worried, he explained that the problem needs to be fixed and I must say after testing to see if he was legitimate, he even said that he would put the supervisor on... He explained to me the same thing and although I challenged somemore on what it could be anyone he said sure, but were not trying to make that you are something weird to us, cannot remember everything exactly, but I said ill insatall a virus program myself, who while he became upset, saying big companys will charge you loads just go on your computer so that I can that I you Guide in that says im?

  • The phones call log smart blackBerry showing an incorrect date

    When I access the journal to call from the main screen, select a call and select view history, the date appears wrong. Even if I make a call, hang up and display the log, it shows the date until the next day. Example: Make a few calls last night (March 08), then had to announce date and time; After that all calls, call log consulted for times and showed calls made on Mar 09. However, if I go to Messages / display folder / phone call logs, dates are shown correctly. No idea why this is?

    Weird.

    Try a reboot simple: with the BlackBerry device powered on, remove the battery a few seconds and then reinsert the battery to restart.

    See if the dates agree now.

  • How can I make a phone call from Apple Watch after the update of the software lasted?

    I don't know how to make a phone call from my Apple Watch after this update. I need help

    Hello

    Under watch OS 3, the friends feature (which was available in previous versions) comes over and there is no direct replacement for it.

    When making calls or sending of new messages, contacts instead can be selected via the phone and Messages applications or using Siri:

  • remove all logs of phone calls at a time.

    How can I delete all calls in my log of phone calls (and made) both and not one at a time?

    Hi there, GWS007.

    Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! I see that you are wanting in a more easy way to erase the call logs on your 6s iPhone on iOS 10 one both. I tend to mine accumulate over time, and I'll be happy to tell you how to do it en masse.

    When you open your application for phone, tap recent, then at the top right you will see 'change '. Once you touch that, you should see 'Clear' on the left side. Tap on that, and it disappears!

  • iPhone 7 micro cut the phone calls

    I have a 7 32GB iPhone. Im running iOS 10.0.1.

    The problem that I am running is that when on a call FaceTime Audio, regularly call FaceTime or a regular phone call, my microphone seems to be cutting out and sounding very scrambled according to several appellants, when a speaker. They say I look fine and clear when not using the speakerphone, but the moment I switch to speaker mode on any type of call, by default for FaceTime, callers are immediately reporting that I'm cut in and out, and when I'm not cut I garbled sound. As soon as I put the call on the ear mode, I look very well again and it isn't a problem.

    To diagnose this I tried to have friends use my phone and I hold the phone in different positions away from them and in environments of different intensity. No matter what either the environment, people report that using the speakerphone, the phone cuts and is blurred. I don't have this problem when I was running iOS 10.0.1 on my iPhone 6 before I updated, so I'm assuming that it is a hardware problem with my new iPhone 7.

    For the first time poster, so I hope that was enough information and enough I hope to get some clear comments.

    Thanks in advance!

    I'm having the same problem only the exact opposite. Callers can hear me well on speaker, but not on phone normal ear mode. I tried with case and without breakage. Question has been lived with more than one caller.

  • Siri can not make phone calls

    After the passage of an iPhone 7 from an iPhone 6 via iTunes backup everything (well almost) works very well.

    However, Siri refuses to launch phone calls: 'sorry, I can't make your phone call. Each component seems to work separately: Contacts can be consulted and have found with the help of Siri, contacts can be called, and the phone is very good as well. I do not use any Bluetooth device, just the phone.

    I tried to restart, a soft reset, re - insert the SIM card, restart Siri and through all relevant parameters in iOS10.0.1, Siri in the lock screen as well as after having unlocked the phone with several of the contacts and the types of numbers.

    Don't forget: I can put any call I want, but not with Siri.

    As I have yet to find advice through Google I hope that here, experts can provide further advice!

    Thanks in advance!

    Best regards, Kay Hidde

    Talked to the hotline from Apple Support today. They convinced me to try reset the network settings. However, this does not have the problem.

    So I decided to reinstall from backup again (their second and final suggestion): I stored the new pictures that I shot with the phone before restore the device with exactly one that I used when the new machine was delivered two days ago:

    If it was the same data as iTunes sent to the same device, it worked!

    Interestingly other small issues were fixed as well (for example some photos were missing in camera rolling despite the fact that they were on the phone) and the whole process was not too long, since iTunes stores now sync settings for the lists of reading, books, movies, and photos on this unit (except for the initial setup of the new device two days ago).

    In my opinion the iOS in the update interval can be the reason of this problem-free second run: 7A iPhone shipped with iOS 10.0.0 but I updated to 10.0.1 after initial installation.

    Thanks for listening and I hope, the description may help someone else in a similar situation.

    Best regards!

  • Update IOS 10. Phone calls does not.

    Yesterday, I downloaded IOS 10 for my iPhone 6.

    When I now phone calls, others cannot hear me on the phone. I can hear the person I talk to a fine, but they don't hear me. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, is it possible to fix it?

    I'm also not a T-Mobile customer. I'm with Verizon.

    Hello jackhahahahaha,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. It is my understanding that since the update to iOS 10, the other appellants are unable to hear you when you use your iPhone 6. Understanding can be the most important part of a phone call. I want to assure you that others are able to hear you clearly.

    I recommend first restart your iPhone. This can solve many unexpected behaviours. Follow the steps below to restart, if necessary.

    1. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn off your device completely off.
    3. Once the device turns off, press and hold the sleep/wake button again until you see the Apple logo.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    If the problem persists, test the microphones on your iPhone and follow the "Get help" section in the link below.

    Have an amazing day!
