Windows 10: company claiming to be Windows/Microsoft

a company called iTecGreek claims that my license has been compromised and that they are representing Windows. Is this correct?

A company claims to be Microsoft certified

I tried to file a report with Microsoft as suggested. The first time I typed the Captcha as it looked to me. The response was that it was wrong. I tried again and the response was that the site was not working. I would really like to report this experience
with WhiteSky to Microsoft. Most recently I found that links in my emails including the link for this site are not working. I did a copy/paste to get in.

WhiteSky tried to get me to sign a support contract. This contract was with a company called Solid Tech. It seems to be in Canada. I don't have a street address. The phone number is 1-866-682-0647.

I have one other question. If I go into Task Master I see that some listings are followed by "stopped." The Whitesky Tech told me all these listings should say "running." The Dell Tech said they will only say "running" if activated by something I am trying
to do. If you have an opinion on this, please let me know.

Thank you.

 

telephone calls from companies claiming to be from Microsoft

I received a phone call and an e-mail claiming that my computer was involved in illegal activity and that they wanted money to fix it. They claimed to be from a Microsoft support company and wanted 169.00 to fix the problem and told me to send money by
Western Union to someone in the U.S to fix the problem. Is this a scam.

Hi Hana,

You can protect yourself from any suspicious emails or messages that may be a phishing scams by following the steps below:

• Never reply to an email that asks you to send personal or account information.
• If you receive an email, don't click a link that supposedly take you to a company website.
• Never open any file attached to a suspicious-looking email.
• If the email appears to come from a company, contact the company's customer service via phone or web browser to see if the email is legitimate.
