    Alert Asking me to Call a Number


    Split from this thread.​


    I have a “critcal alert from micrsoft with alarms sounding and voice saying to call helpline at<Removed>It says computer is locked and not to shutdown or restart. It says windows firewall has blocked some features of this program. There is a box with xepgr2.ga download multiple files request. Should i call the number. Or just block the download.

    this was popup scam. Norton fixed If you see this don’t call the number.

    :)

    Emergency Alerts

    Hi Stephanie,

    Just to confirm, is this the same thing that you tried on your phone, in order to turn off Amber Alerts?

    • Open Settings.
    • Tap on System.
    • Tap on Messaging.
    • Tap on the Change emergency alert settings link.
    • Turn on or off the emergency alerts you want.

    Let us know if this was the same thing that you tried.

    We would also suggest to reset your phone after doing these steps to ensure that the changes on your phone's settings will be refreshed.

    Simply press and hold the Power and Volume down button for 15 seconds and then release your hold afterwards.

    Alert Asking me to Call a Number

    Outlook asking cellphone number

    No need to verify. My number is more important than mails i receive. Canada dont allow service providers to sell phone numbers list anyway.
