  Microsoft has none of the unsolicited telephone calls to help you fix your computer

  In this type of scam cybercriminals are calling you and claim to be of Support technique Microsoft. They offer help with your computer problems. Once scammers have earned your trust, they try to steal and damage your computer with malicious software, including viruses and spyware.

  Although the law enforcement can trace phone numbers, often authors use pay telephones, disposable cell phones or stolen cellular phone numbers. Better avoid fooling themselves rather than try to repair the damage afterwards.

  Treat all unsolicited sceptically telephone calls. Don't provide personal information.

  If you receive an unsolicited call from someone who claims to be from Technical Support Microsoft, hang up. We do not have such calls.

  If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it. For more information, see: what to do if you think you have been scammed.

• I got a phone call from 'windows', saying that something was wrong with my computer. SCAM? The next time I uped PC there is something bad--much more slowly, etc..

  About a week or two ago, I received a call from someone who said it was the appeal of WINDOWS.  My PCwas work perfect, but I was told there were problems.

  I did not understand what problems he spoke and asked him if he had the right number.  He did not ask my number when I said that if I

  told him to send me a letterexplaining the problem, if something is wrong. Then, I clung to the top.  Is that what you received no other complaints like that?  The

  next time I used the PC, something is indeed wrong - it is very slow now.  I guess that Microsoft would call, not "windows".  In fact

  I do not believe that Microsoft would call either.  Is that what sounds like someone hacked into my PC or what? Thanks for any help.

  It was a scam and your hang up was wise. If you gave him no

• Microsoft calls customers about problems with their computer? I received a call; They claim back Monday at 14:00.

  I received a call from Microsoft saying that I am facing a problem on my computer.  They said there are technical service.  I told them it sounded like a scam and they said they could prove it.  Told me to press the Microsoft button while pressing the letter 'r '.  I told them that I don't have the time to do what I was about to leave the House for a race.  They said they'd call back Monday at 14:00.  Is it a scam?  Or is it legitimate?

  It's a real call from Microsoft?

• Received a call from phone scam someone saying my computer is infected with the virus and malware

  original title: support for pc rj

  I recently received a call from someone called Mark of pc rj support and they said that my computer is infected with viruses and malware. Immediately, I hang up and called my computer technician who went to my place and said: my computer is absolutely perfect... This chap Mark said he also is an employee of Microsoft, which I highly doubt. He asked me to download something that my antivirus detected as virus...

• 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.

  * Original title: scam or not

  I wanted to open my computer.  I told her I would call her back.

  Is it a scam?

  (Moved from P & M)

  Yes, it's a scam. When someone calls and says they need to talk to you about 'mistakes' in your computer, simply hang up.  I just had one of these calls myself about 15 minutes ago.
