Got a call from rv1.reactivation.require.notice

So while i was gone i got a call from the name in the topic. 1) i don't think skype would call users to re-require users to reactivate their accounts. 2) I figure it's a possible scam to get my login details for skype.
Just thought i'd put this up here for users to watch out for it.

please visit the thread below for instructions and suggestions on how to deal with such unwanted and suspicious activities;

  • Got a call from someone saying they were from Microsoft but it seemed fishy

    Today I got a call from someone with a strong Indian accent claiming they were from microsoft and that my computer was in critical condition. I can't recall microsoft ever calling people personally about this so it automatically seemed like a scam. I told
    him I didn't believe it fairly quickly and hung up. So I wanted to know in case there really is something wrong, do microsoft people ever call customers to tell them of errors? Is this just a scam and in which case is there a way for me to report these people?

    Its a scam.  A well known and long running one.  Microsoft will never ask for personal details (they already have them) and
    will never cold call you.  Nor do they send out anti virus messages
    Microsoft does not do that nor do they have partners who do that 
    See the following for additional information about this and what to do and how Microsoft operates:

    http://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/phishing-scams.aspx
    If you think you might be a victim of fraud, you can report it.

  • Got a call from 8207078890968 what kind of phone number is this?

    I got a call from 8207078890968 auto attendant saying my account was locked and to press a key to be connected with security department.  I hung up.  What kind of a number is 8207078890968?????

    Just got the same call. It said Express Mastercard and that my account had been locked and to press 1 to speak with someone. At that point I hung up. My husband, whose number is one number off from mine had gotten the call an hour or so before me and didn't answer. We both blocked the number.

  • Got a call from verizon to reistar my booster now phone calls drop

    got a call from Verizon to registrar my Wilson booster . so i did and got confirmation now the signal is weak

    In the phone settings, you can select which ways you will receive your iMessages. Settings - iMessage - Send and Receive I think.
    As for Contacts, well, you have the same AppleID so your contacts in the cloud are the same. Were your contacts just on your phone before? Maybe hers were in the cloud and yours were only on your phone?
    EDIT: if yours were only on your phone before, you can turn off the iCloud account in Settings - Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

  • This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer.  I hung up because I don't believe Mac uses Microsoft Window Operating System - right?

    This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer.  I hung up because Mac doesn't use Microsoft Window Operating System - right?  I have Mac OS X.  I have loaded Microsoft Office 2011.  Can that allow something malicious or is this guy a scammer and I was right to hang up???

    Actually you can install Windows on your MBP via Bootcamp.
    You should have kept the individual on the phone for as long as you can tolerate.  The time he wastes with you is time he cannot spend scamming an innocent victim. 
    You can always politely ask the caller to hold while you 'answer the front door' or the like and just set down the phone and go about your business.  The caller will eventually hang up. 
    But your analysis was 100% correct.
    Ciao.

  • HT201229 I just got a call from someone whom I had blocked. How did this happen?

    With iOS 7 I created a contact title "Spam." I then blocked this contact. Anytime I get a call from a telemarketer, I add the number to this contact.
    Just now, I got a call on my phone that came up from my spam contact. I thought this was impossible?
    I have 8 different numbers assigned to the contact.
    Anyone have any insight? Do I have to create an entry/contact for each number individually? If so, that would really suck and would fill up my address book with unwanted contacts.
    This is an iPhone 5C on Verizon Version 7.1

    You should report to the Do Not Call register and also your carrier.

  • Got a call from BT But got nothing yet.

    I know the subject looks funny, Sorry about that, ABout three weeks ago I got a call saying that I was Eligible for BT's Fibre Optic service, I said I would like to get it and I was given an Order Code, The guy said it could take up to 10 days for the BT Box to be sent out, then a guy will come out the next day and install it, Its 3 weeks now and I have no word yet.
    I'm From N.I, Now the resion im typeing this is due to my copper wire Internet droping connection, I dont want to request support when I could get the box at any time, So I would like to know if its normal to take more than 3 weeks?  They give me an order code and that o.0

    Yeah I was going to call on Monday Just trying to make sure that this can happen

  • Repeated calls from a blocked sender: SYSTEM NOTIC...

    I get these calls all the time, and blocking the sender does not help!
    WHY CAN'T YOU STOP THESE CALLS!  WHY DOES BLOCK SENDER NOT WORK?
    I like Skype, but if you can't solve a simple problem like this I will have to disengage.

    Hi, dpmaclaren, and welcome to the Community,
    Unfortunately, it is not just one incident or the same abuser of the system that you are blocking - these scammers keep changing the background numbers.  Please report this to Skype Customer Service (this link provides the instruction how to do this: contact customer service ), and please continue to Block and Report as Abuse as this alerts Skype.
    If your situation allows for it, you could also adjust your profile settings such that you can receive incoming calls from people on your Contact list only... . Just a thought.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine
    I am having the same problem. I have bloked them in all possible ways. I already reported this problem a couple of months ago. No solution yet.
    Now they are calling several times in a row. Look the info below:
    On: 10/24/2012

    [10:58:49 AM] *** Call from ONLINE HELP - SYSTEM NOTICE - URGENT! , duration 02:02. ***
    This is really enoying. You should sue theis guy big time. He is really causing a big problem to your service.
    I can not do what you suggest, because I have to receive calls from people who are not in my list.
    As for to report these incidents you should provide a straight email address to do that
    I am using Win 7 and have been with Skype from many years.

  • Spoof Call from Verizon51

    I got a call from Verizon51 saying I was entitled to a $51 credit on my Verizon Wireless Account - just login and fill in the details to get a $51 credit on my bill.
    I received the call from an 801 area code number. When I checked my call history to confirm the number it wasn't there. Only (removed)
    Sounds like a spoof scam, but what happened to the number??  Weird.@@
    Phone number removed as required by the Verizon Wireless Terms of Service
    Message was edited by: Admin Moderator

    I had the exact same problem - calls on my online number showing up as +00000. No matter how many times I clicked "answer" I just couldn't answer the call - couldn't clear it from the "recent" list either.
    A chat with Skype support confirmed incoming calls on my online number and guided me to upgrade to the latest version of Skype - which currently is 5.8.0.154.
    +00000 is now gone from my "recent" list (without any hardcore fixes - just a simple upgrade). However I haven't been able to test if the person who was trying to call me is now able to do so since I don't know who the caller was.
    If any of you know who was calling you it would be great if you could test with Skype version 5.8.0.154 or newer.

  • Phising attempt call from 800-922-0204

    Just got a call from 800-922-0204 telling me I could get $24 off my next bill by visiting www.verizon24.com and logging in.  Visiting the site with incognito mode it's using Verizon's logo, etc, and all the links point to the usual verizonwireless.com pages, however it's obviously fake since if you enter random numbers for the login it'll tell you that you've "won" and then asks for the necessary personal information to gain access to your real account.

    We received calls yesterday and today on each of our Verizon mobile phones.  Although it sounded too good to be true, I signed in to check it out.  That's when it started to really smell as they asked questions for personal data that Verizon already has on file.  I guess I need to change my Verizon password to ensure no unauthorized access.  Their web page really looked real.  I wonder how many people will fall for this scheme....?

  • Works on local 10g Express but not 9i. : Got minus one from a read call

    Using a desktop I have a 3rd party tool that needs to access an Oracle 9i DB. The tool does not connect to the db at all. I also have Toad installed on the desktop and Toad can connect fine. The error message I get with the 3rd party tool is:
    "Got minus one from a read call"
    I have a laptop in which I have a local 10g Express installed along with the same 3rd party tool. The 3rd party tool can connect to the local Express db.
    I have written a java app. See below. When I run the app on the desktop machine ir produces the same error as the 3rd party tool.
    What is happening on the 9i server that is causing this error. I have seen this error posted on many sites but no responses. Any ideas/suggestions?
    Thanks

    }

    Here is a fix to this problem I found. Not sure if it will help:
    1. Go to directory $TNS_ADMIN on database tier or database home.
    2. Modify sqlnet.ora file with following.
    tcp.validnode_checking = yes
    Either set above directive value to NO or add machine name where jdeveloper is running to following directive.
    tcp.invited_nodes=(machin-name, machine-name)
    3. Bounce listener using addlnctl.sh under database directory.

    It is really, Really, REALLY difficult to fix a problem that can not be seen.
    use COPY & PASTE so we can see what you do & how Oracle responds.
