• Support of windows phone call pretending

  I received a phone call from a person who said she was from the Windows Support. She said she wanted to talk about a problem with my computer. I never give information to unknowns, I told her that I don't have a computer. She insisted and said she has a computer registered in my name and added my name to me, just in case I didn't know how to spell!  I insisted on the fact that I don't have a computer, which she hung up without even a goodbye. The phone number that appears on the screen of my phone was as follows: + 971 2 179 514 (the code is that of the UAE, Abu Dhabi, to be more precise). I know that Microsoft may have something else to do, but it would not be a good thing if the authorities took a peek in these crooks/scammers / con artist Set up or in other words the CALL CENTERS that prey on the innocent and unsuspecting of honest people? Isn't this why do laws exist?

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  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. One moment.

  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 seems that the only info. the woman had been your phone (obtained from the phone book?) number and was just guessing that you got a PC (make most of the households in developed countries).

• How do contact you windows to report a scam phone call

  Hi I was just wondering how do you report this scam to the phone call, you go to your local police or don't expect, or how can contact you with windows, I get these calls every day telling me I have a virus and to turn on my computer, it is a call of the Indian region, but the problem is that they call my house number and I don't have my home number recorded by windows / hotmail. So how they got, it's unreal. I was wondering if anyone can help urgently! Thank you

  Hi Niamh,

  If you know who is in contact with you, then you can either call their phone service provider and ask them to try to block the number or contact your local police.

  Microsoft has nothing to do with those calls.

• Someone had a phone call from a crook "Windows Care"?

  Yesterday, on November 4, @ 5:00 p.m. PDT, I received a phone call from a man with an accent who knew my name saying he called "Windows Care" and there was a problem with my computer.  I hung up.

  I wonder if others get these calls in North America.  I read that it was a wave of them earlier in the year in the United Kingdom. How he got my phone number and name? How can protect yourself you?

  JenniferAnne, Victoria BC, CANADA

  It's a scam and the calls are received in Europe and North America we know... probably in Asia and South America also.  Name and telephone number could come from "the directory" or any public documents.  Protect you by doing exactly what you did... you were enough NET determine this was a scam and you have hung up.

• I've been doing a series of phone calls telling me that my license key for my Windows is about to expire. Is it a reality or just somone trying to rip me off?

  Last week to 10 days, I received lots of calls from someone called PC Support (which sound as if they come from the India) telling me that they want to access my PC to show me the problems that are reported to them from my ISP about something and real operating system Windows on the license key is about to expire.

  I suspect that it is a new scam to try to sell the product, anti-virus/malware any... but it got me wondering whether or not it is a real-world scenario.

  Can someone me one way or another?

  Thank you.

• Phone call from "Windows"? -is it a scam?

  Today, I received a phone call from someone who said they were by Windows and that my PC has reported errors? They asked me to type in the menu "run" to display errors, and then they asked me to go to this site http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx. I had to hang up at this point to come out but nobody knows nothing about this or received a phone call?

  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! Please do not take into account these calls and hang up immediately.
