What I do on this phone scam

Similar Questions

• WIP330 - What's up with this phone?

  I just got the phone SIP Linksys Wireless G (WIP330). I was intending to use this phone for our new Asterisk based IP telephony system. Setting in the phone service was child's play, but there are weird things on this phone that make it almost unusable for anything other than her overhaul.

  Problem - a voicemail

  There is a section voicemail under phone settings where you can enter the phone number to your voice mail. Very well, very well. For once I enter my voicemail number, how to retrieve my voicemail? There is nothing in the documentation or in the phone settings that says how we are supposed to retrieve voice mail, once we enter this number. Shouldn't there be a big friendly button somewhere marked voicemail?

  BTW, the documentation of Linksys says this about voicemail, "to learn how to check your voicemail, call your service provider internet phone! You have to be kidding me?

  Problem 2 - No touch tone.

  Since I can't find a button or anywhere speed dial to call my voicemail number. I entered in manually and called it. The problem is, I have to be able to conclude the numbers on the keyboard to access the features of voicemail. If I enter numbers in the keyboard, a separate window will appear showing the numbers, but there is no beep button so that the menu of automated voicemail can 'hear' my selections. I guess this new window is line 2 try to accept another outgoing call.

  These two questions are a deal breaker real for this phone. Here are a few other minor problems that I could live with if this phone solved the above problems.

  • Strange button above the buttons volume control that does absolutely nothing! Are you kidding me?
  • Micro browser. I don't see how this would have no practical use whatsoever. Unless you went to a Web site that has been optimized for the small screen on the phone, it is useless to you try to display a normal Web page.
  • The maximum ringer very quiet. I admit there is a vibration function, but it would be nice to have a ring loud and clear (customizable ringtones would be a plus also)
  • Update website link is broken. www.WIP330.com does not yet exist. Give me a break!

  This phone really has great potential. It seems to be well built. The screen is bright and easy to use. Dial numbers is easy and receive calls works fine. I like options blind for the transfer, transfer, etc.. But the issues mentioned above will stop me buying more of these phones for my company.

  I thought about it. I watched the Asterisk CLI to find errors and when I composed 770 (my voicemail extension) it prompted me to an extension. I entered my extension number, followed by the pound sign. I could see in the output from the CLI, what she actually accepted my extension and then waiting for the password, but for some reason that the automatic reception never says "password". So, basically, you do not hear the password. I'll have to put spaces in the password prompt and see if that helps.

  Anyway, thanks the help of all the world. This phone can be useful after all.

• Microsoft Technical Support phone scam

  Hello, I recently received a call (about 5 minutes ago) from Microsoft. They claimed to be Microsoft technical support. They told me that my computer has sent a lot of warning and error messages to Microsoft. They said that messages and stuff said that my computer had downloaded malicious software malware and it could damage my system and internal hard drive. Then they told me that they did not answer me and now called for helping me solve this message. (I stopped to think about what they said because I had been having a lot of problems of slow boot and Windows taking almost 5 + minutes to start). So I played along for a while, but only for a minute. The first guy says let me connect to our senior technical specialist or something like that. Then I logged. The second guy says: "Hello my name is ___ Snyder (I remember only the family name)." They have given me in my observer of events and after I hung up with suspicion and Bishop/confidentiality. They tried to call me again, but I rejected the call. Please give me advice on this issue. I want to know if it's a scam to take over my computer and steal my identity, etc. or is it really Microsoft tries to help to fix my computer.
  Some info on the "technical support guy":
  Both were men. We had a strong accent from the Middle East while it had a slight accent Middle Easterners to it.
  One of the men claimed to be the main _ (don't remember the average Word) specialist. It was called _ (don't remember the name), said Snyder.
  Track of the location of the call. Approximate location is the New Hampshire, USA. This is as far as I know
  Help, please! Also give suggestions on anything that might be necessary to change etc.

• Phone scam. Call claiming to be from Microsoft.

  Original title: phone scam

  Received a call from 23-456-7809 today, and he told me he worked for Microsoft and said that my computer has a lot of viruses from the internet. He was also an Indian man. Then he told me to go to run and type 'inf', from there, he said all these files affect my computer and remove any that you don't recognize. I delete anything thankfully. After that he told me to type something else in the Run dialog box and causes the word "cat", I don't remember what the rest of it was but it was a www site. This is when I knew this guy was playing me. I was not followed to type in the site "www" and "cat" in the Run dialog box. I hooked immediately after. My question is if I am at risk because I typed in 'inf '? Give him no personal information or credit card etc. numbers. Just did my Norton anti virus run and 36 risk came after the call that have been removed from my computer. I've was type in 'inf' in the run box for this guy, Im right ok?

  It took anytime control of your computer? The part 'cat' makes me leary. If it did not control, he could well have stolen information that puts you at high risk. insofar as a bank or other sensitive sites, you have the passwords for.

  It's a real call from Microsoft?

• Computer phone scam?

  I received a phone call from a person claiming to be with Microsoft, saying that they have detected the malware on my computer.  They led me run some diagnostics, Event Viewer, which showed more than 2,000 error and warning messages, and another page that shows the various functions of Microsoft Works does not.  Then they directed me to a site called Ammyy to give them a connection to my computer remotely and allow them to delete the malware.  It seems not legitimate, so I hung up.  This is - possbily a call legitimate Microsoft or obviously a scam?  If a scam, what is the significance of all these error and warning messages?  Thanks for any help on this.

  Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. Hanging up was the right thing to do.   :)

  Please see:

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

  Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

  These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

  It is best to think of what you see in the observer of events as events (where the name) instead of all being errors. For more information, please visit:

• Is this a scam or reality?

  I received a phone call from someone named Tom. He said he was calling from the IT Department of microsoft on my computer. He just received an order from a headDept at microsoft on my computer. He asked if it was correct thet, I used the Microsoft Windows operating system on my computer. Stupidly, I answered Yes, but something has been fishy.he continued during 2-3 days and then it changed 2-3 weeks they were receiving some kind of red alert, a message of relief from my computer and I could in line with these, at this point I hung up. Perhaps, I should have waited for some address that he would give me, but I am deaf and use a captel captioned telephone which is connected to my compuyer by a router, they are very slow typing and I didn't like the sound of this call. Maybe I'm old, but I'm not stupid

• Phone scam Australia - information and report

  My husband received a phone call earlier today, a woman with a strong Indian accent, saying she was from the Windows Support on behalf of Microsoft.  She said our computer had sent several error messages to Windows and the computer would crash in 24 hours.  He doesn't know even how to activate it, so he asked her to call back after work, when I'm home.  She recalled, and I said that I was eating so she could call back in an hour, because it sounded suspicious and I wanted to check online and see if I could find out whether it could be legitimate or not.  I saw the warning on the site of Microsoft Australia and also google and read a lot of posts about people getting ripped off and I have taken note of what they would ask.  Nancy recalled, and said she would put me through to a technician who could help me solve my 'problem '.  A man named Patrick, very strong Indian accent, asked me to do a number of things to get to the place where I could look and say that I could see triangles of gold and files with red crosses next to them and I said yes, even though I had yet to open anything.  He said there would be a single registration fee and then it could set.  I call it a lie you know what and a few other choice things and hung up, but I managed to get the company name and website address, if they are real, and they are as follows:

• Divine group phone scam

  I got a call this morning from someone who said they were technical support for all users of Microsoft and proceeded to take control of my computer and show me a bunch of errors on my computer and I was in danger of my emails being hacked. They said to my computer license had expired and that's how they got my phone number.

  They simply call random numbers and now your computer has been compromised.

  Hello

  Thanks for the post.

  It is one of multiple scams like him on the Net

  And here's what you need to do if you fall for it.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  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 are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to 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 does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

• Is this phone phising

  I just had a meeting of strange phone with a guy who told me he was from the Windows support and tried to talk me through what he was saying was to attempt to catch a virus on my computer. I continued questioning him, but good until he guided me towards a website "TheWindowsSolution.com" and I tried to make me go to an area of remote support on the site by following the directions. I said that I'm not going to give access to my computer and he hung up. Anyone who is familiar with this kind of call? What is someone is aware of a scam is happening?

  There are all kinds of current scams.  Microsoft will never make an unsolicited to you call.  Here's more information:
