Windows 10: Microsoft alert. "Right PC excperts" ook over and done some changes to my computer

My other laptop showed a me an alert by Microsoft that here is people trying to hack me and getting info from my computer. I am not very computer literate and they went ahead, took over my control and "fixed it", Had to pay $799 USD. Luckily my bank picked it up and di not allow this payment. Their address is Tampa, Florida, 33611, USA. Tel 1855 551 766, 1844 942 6261 , 0000000000, They were busy on my computer for quite while and then asked me to call my bank to order ta one time payment. They called me 3 times today. Are they a legitimate company/partner/delegate connected to Microsoft?


Thank you for coming back to me? I am too scared to use that lap top of mine now. this all happened yesterday afternoon

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.

 

Microsoft changes WGA software in response to consumer backlash

You guys cant hate microsoft all the time, you have to give them credit that they did bring the PC to the masses (although it is just a stolen version of some old mac OS that wasn't patented). Its good to see that Microsoft can infact listen to consumers occasionally, though it was most likely big business that made the change as opposed to people like us. I'ld say the change is a step in the right direction.
