• Ive been telephoned to say theres a problem with my computer.

  I have phoned me this afternoon by a company who said they worked for windows, and that there is an error on my windows system. This company called P.C. SOLUTIONS, in my view, that couldn't understand the gentleman much, ti due his indian heavy accent. This is NOT the first time ive bn conntacted by this company. They knew my phone number and name ect, so was very worried. I told them I would contact windows, if there were a problam but can't find a number fr them. I don't know if it was a scam or not, cos ime a beginner computer and have cancer of the eye, so have a hard time to see and understand anything on my PC. My companion has checked my pc and told everythings ok, and there is no error message. ALL my dishes of virus and security are in place without any problem. PLEASE, HELP OR INFORMATION ON WHAT TO DO WILL BE GRACIOUSLY RECEIVED, THANK YOU.

  Hello

  It is a type of scam. If they call again, don't give them access to your computer, like your security could be compromised. Just hang up, tech support companies good reputation are not unsolicited phone calls.

• I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer.

  Original title: scams?

  I continue to receive calls from numbers not available with an Indian accent saying that they are from the Technical Department of windows and I have a problem with my computer. Normally, I just say that I don't have and hung up. Today, I took a little further and he said that they discovered that I had loads of malware/viruses etc and that they could identify with them. I was obviously very suspicious because he seemed to have my correct Windows ID number and with care on 'Run' he told me to type things like cmd eventviewer and inf where he referred to a file 1394.pnf. I stopped while he asked remotely to access my computer. However, I got a phone number 01916450337 and his P786000 id I noticed that many people are posting on your forum-is this another one of those scams?

  Continue to put the phone down. They are all crooks.

  They get you to open Event Viewer, because there are words such as 'critical' and 'error' along the this.

• I got a call from people claiming that there was a problem with the computer.

  Original title: scammed by PCWizards?

  A few days ago I received a call from PC assistants saying they were Windows operating system support. They tell me that they have noticed that I had many requests from spam junk that was slowing down my computer. Unfortunately, as I had a big problem with my computer in time, I bit. I was very nervous about it at the time, but since I had so many problems with my computer and that you didn't know what to do, I fell prey to their plot. They talked to me in a 6 month contract for a fee of $99.00. After they have finished the maintenance on my computer, it worked very well, too gullible me thought: maybe they are legitimate.

  At the end of the interview I googled their business and came across an article that has been exposed as the crooks and claims that Wizards PC installs a spyware sophisticated by giving them access to the victim's computer remotely.

  To reassure myself, I decided to call using my Norton Security System. Their technician checked my computer and found a few things that their technology did not that he should have done; such that no detected restore points, the registry was not cleaned (35 detected registry errors) and it did not remove some software malware browers (toolbars).

  On his recommendation, I recalled PC assistants. The first tech I talked didn't seem to know what he was doing, so I hung up with him and sent their support line and ask them to address these problems or I would withdraw the payment from my credit card. Almost immediately after sending the e-mail, another technician called me. Unknowingly, I had all ready filed a dispute with my credit card company. I intend to cancel the service, but I am still concerned by some spyware detected on my computer. What is the best way for me to handle this? How can I get authenic proof that I was definitely scammed and I should report it to the Internet Crime Center? Using my computer for a few basic daily functions, must not be so stressful!  Any constructive guidance would be greatly appreciated!

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  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 gave them remote access and if you do Internet banking, contact your bank, 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.

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

• 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.

• I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer.

  Original title: hoax call?

  I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer. They know this, because I have generated error reports. When I asked how I could be sure who they were they led me to a screen with a ref to no error report. and he cites correctly for me. When I was asked to sign up for control of my computer for them to correct these errors, I refused and hung up. What happens with all those errors that we report to microsoft when our computers generate the error reports and how these appellants knew my error report reference.

  Fake phone calls to technical support

  Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, donot give access to your PC, not give them all the money and donot go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

  Error reports contain no personally identifiable information. These people are hoping that your system recently sent to Microsoft to make their call seems more legitimate.

  Please see:

  http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

  Microsoft does ever not requested for telephone calls of support or security.
