• Microsoft Windows Tech Support - fake phone call or not?

  I got a phone call from someone who wanted typing me eventvwr and watch errors and warning signs - I did.  I noticed that they were that all dated the previous day or just before the phone call.  I was asked to have malicious bugs deleted by this PROVIDER of SUPPORT of MICROSOFT WINDOWS TECHINICAL for £79.  The person says his name is Michael and his phone was quoted as 02034117907.

  My virus package pick up any info - however, errorfix now has up to 3,000 privacy, whenever I use it's about 4 times a day.

  Help please - does anyone know if the call was authentic or not and any ideas on the reasons of privacy now is off the scale!

  Thank you

  FAKE!

• people keep calling from 'Windows Tech Dept' Indian accents telling that there is a problem with my computer at risk

  I've been deflecting calls from people who say there is a problem with my computer, claiming they are "Windows technology department.  A woman comes to call.  She said her name was Fiona and his identification number is 1104.  Call back phone number is 1-866-539-8674.  She was very beautiful, but persistent.  I got his information to call her back.  She said that whenever we get on the Internet, some viruses or damage of some sort gets into our computer.  She wanted to go on the computer right then, and she show me all error messages or something like this.  I said my husband was using the computer and I was in the middle of something, which was true.

  I know that we have received an error message that Windows XP is not 'more protected by Microsoft' and basically we should buy a new computer.  Is this related?  What exactly means that Windows XP is no longer supported?

  Windows has anyone who receives messages and codes of error for individual computers and pay people to call users and warn them of the disappearance to come computer threats?  Calling us that part just seems unlikely.

  Y at - it a Tech Department Windows calling proactively computer users?  I should do in addition to using Norton antivirus or McAfee (or what my husband has on this computer) to protect us from viruses and hackers?

  Thanks for the reply.

  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.

• Microsoft Tech Support scams

  I just talked to a local it service company who told me that I have been scammed by fake Microsoft technical support.  They claimed that Microsoft never give phone support.  Is this correct?

  Here's what I did.  I find the following link through what I thought, it was the Microsoft technical support.

  https://partner.support.Services.Microsoft.com/en-us/contact/callback/4/?OSMCSignIn=true&WA=wsignin1.0

  They called me back immediately.  I talked to different tech support people in different sessions to try to correct a 10 failed Windows installation.  At one point, I gave remote access to a working computer to make a USB bootable recovery.  I watched what was happening on the screen and see nothing strange.  I didn't ask for the passwords, money or credit card information.  The probability is that it was a scam?

  Thank you!

  WRO

  Your local business is partially correct.   Microsoft will be never cold call users.  They have no way of knowing of youor computer is infected, with errors, etc..  If someone calls you without you calling it first of all it is a scam.

  If you access the assistance of partners and they will call back you later, you can be pretty sure they are legitimate.

  From your description, I seriously doubt that it was a scam.  They do not have ask for PII (personally identifiable information) has not asked for money and you called after them called everything first.

  If you are a partner, there is also a website (for partners) where you can ask any questiions online and then make a phone call

• MacBook Air tech support scams

  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.

• "windows live support" scam

  I received a call from a tone of voice Indies declaring what he called a "windows live support" and that my computer has been hacked. "Red flashing lights here to demonstrate that your computer has been hacked." I was suspicious, but done what said the voice. I opened the event viewer that showed many caveats and warnings from computer work bad... some 15,000 of them spanning over 2 years. They wanted me to download a file, but I refused and said I want to remember them. There was a bit of drama involved in the incident. I did a search on google for "windows live support" which returned several hits as well as some phone numbers. I called an and the voice of the East Indies told me I just had been called and that he had spoken with 'Chrissy '. He also informed me that the 'service' to clean my computer will cost at least $249. I refused, hung up and did a search for "windows live support scam." The following link came ( http://darranboyd.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/windows-live-support-scam/ ) who wore a similar activity for the past two years of several regions of the world. It is very interesting reading. All this seems like a scam and I do not understand why Microsoft has apparently done nothing to that users aware of this problem and/or close this type of scam.

  Believe me, we receive dozens of these reports on a daily basis.

  Go to the forum and search for following scam.

  This has happened for many years. The main problem with trying to stop these scams, it's that the authors know how to stay hidden in the countries where the application of the law may be missing.

• questions of google chrome windows 7 PC internet connection tech support

  So basically for now, I need some serious tech support. I knew enough to power a computer for regular use, but now I need to know a little more.

  I'm working on a pretty nice software that probably has not been treated well for about a month so its starting to develop some small bugs. I intend to use this laptop for more things in general so it needs work better.
  I ran some scans norton (but my norton is literally about to expire so I need something safe for my computer out of Cnet maybe? it's free)
  I ran a quick defrag and I have Ccleaner and know what it does, so I ran too. I have not just be completely shut down the computer, I don't even have a back upward in car big enough for my computer or anywhere to put it if I had a. Im doing the laptop on the lap a lot which means no doubt that fans do not get enough air.
  There is a laptop stand that had fans, but fans broke and its just bulky right now so I'm just trying to protect the screen and not get any fluid on the keyboard. Also, there is just no office about so its that or directly on a mattress that is worse.
  (Also I keep multitasking for many, even for an upscaled laptop with windows 7 and the changes to make it work well.) His breaking our internet connection wifi is not totally reliable here and all I can do, is disconnect the boxes and wait but its such a nuisance that I can't do it too)
  Any help you can offer would be great!

  Hello

  I suggest you to start the computer in a clean boot state. Clean boot helps eliminate any conflict of third party software.

  Note: when you are finished troubleshooting, follow step 3, mentioned in the article to start the computer to a normal startup.

  If you use WIFI put a check mark next to it and let the service when you disable startup items.

  For the safety of your computer, you can download and install Microsoft Security essential, which is a free anti-virus program.

  Here is an article on wireless connection problems and wireless network. Take a look and check.

• 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.

• 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.
