    Is this a scam email or does this person really have access to such things he claims?


    Yesterday, I received a sextortion email. This really freaked me out because the email was sent to multiple emails in my family. The email also included some of my family's frequently used passwords. Can anyone reassure me that this isn't real please?

    :)

    I received an email from microsoft claiming that someone had tried to access my network from a foreign country. It asked me to call a toll free number go to the microsoft web site and file a consumer complaint using a refrence number.

    Tech Scam

    I was just scammed by person claiming to be with Microsoft using Microsoft trademark as they got into my computer. I paid no money, but since they gained access to my computer, I assume I'm in danger re bank accounts, etc. What should my next steps be
    for my safety?
