I got a "System Notice Online MainTENANCE" call

[10:30:24 PM] *** Call from SYSTEM NOTICE™ ONLINE MAINTENANCE, duration 01:48. ***
This call gave me a website to go to, stating that something in my computer wasn't safe, i went to the side but didnt click on anything and it said that a back door and what not was opened, and a few other things as if it had scanned my computer. However I went and used my own two scanners and nothing showed up. Why would I get a call like that on Skype stating such actions had taken place on my computer when in fact it had not? I would like to know if this call had come from Skype or an outside source.

System Notice Online Maintenance

I received a call and was told to go to sispw.com, which I did not do.
Could not shut off the voice so I rebooted.
When I rebooted, I got a message telling me that updates were installing and not to shut down my machine.
Anyone else seen this?

Hi, jc7777, and welcome to the Community!
I suggest immediately running your anti-virus/malware/spyware software using updated virus signature files, while you are not signed on to Skype. Obviously, it could be coincidence that another update was being downloaded at the time the spam call arrived.
One of my favorites is SpyBot Search & Destroy which allows you to set a restore point.
When you sign back on to Skype, and going forward, please Block and Report as Abuse all such incidents of these calls/contact invitations as they alert Skype to the newest mutation of a known scamming/phishing attempt.
Best regards,

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:

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.

Do you have 2-step verification on for your Apple ID? I may have a solution.
When I upgraded to Yosemite and subsequently updated my Apple ID, I would get errors when I tried to sign into iMessage and FaceTime using my apple ID (and my new password), I similarly was not able to sign in. On FaceTime, I would get errors like "unable to sign in at this time" or some times just nothing at all (the spinning 'processing' graphic would grind away until it presumably just timed out).
Turns out that I enabled 2-step notification on for my Apple ID (totally forgot about it, I set it up a couple years ago), and apparently the regular Apple ID password that you choose is not usable when you try to log in to iMessage or FaceTime through the programs themselves (intuitively, this makes sense since these programs do not have a way to prompt you for the "2nd step" code).
To solve, you have to log in to your Apple ID online (appleid.apple.com or whatever), and look for the option to "Generate App-Specific Passwords". These are unique, random passwords which are made to work around issues like these since they can be used in iMessage or FaceTime or what not. This is the same idea as to what you have to do to log into gmail on your iPhone if you have Google 2-step verification on.
This solved my issue (after lots of swearing and hair pulling!). Would have been nice if a I got some sort of warning when updating my Apple ID password that "Hey, you have 2-step enabled. Go make some app-specific passwords or you will lose 5 hours of your life trying to solve this mystery"
Hopefully this may solve yours

Hi, Plastic, and welcome to the Community,
But my question is this, This is a brand new account (2 days old) set up only on a skype phone. I have told no one my skype name, so how did the caller know my name to call?
Question: When you set up your new Skype account, did the Skype app on your phone provide the option to secure your account via setting the privacy settings to permit incoming audio calls, video calls, and instant messages from people on your contact list only? If not, please sign on via a laptop or computer to do this. Remember to Save your settings as you proceed through the screens/windows.
It's not like they can randomly guess a skype name.
Yes, they can.
How are our details stored?
Please refer to these FAQ articles for explanation: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA143/is-skype-secure and https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA31/does-skype-use-encryption
Can wild characters be used in skype calls?
If you mean something like an "*" such as in a database search, then, no.
No one should be able to call my skype number unless I tell them my ID or chose to use something easily guessed, and then even if this was the case, within two days?
If you secure your account and profile (do not specify a gender; leave location and other settings which default to "Public" neutral or blank), then your Skype account should not be easily found.
Skype has significantly reduced the number of ways other Skype users can find their friends, colleagues, and so on, but still allows for general searches based on only four Add a Contact features: Skype name, full name, e-mail address, or telephone number input in the Profile. Your new Skype account fell into the scammer's random search parameters.
Also, why does Skype allow user names that include system.notice? This would seem to me words that should be reserved for system notices, or am I missing something here?
Yours is a valid point which I have read many times - however, these titles are only titles such as how you might change your name as it appears in your Profile settings; the scammers constantly change the underlying Skype account names they use. Please see this FAQ article for the details of a Skype name vs. a display name: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA110/can-i-change-my-skype-name
Securing your account should rid you of these nuisance messages as well as unsolicited contact invitations.
Best regards,
Elaine

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
import java.sql.*;

ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select PROVIDER_NAME from HCPSODS.BLAZE_PROVIDER_VALUES");
while (rset.next())
System.out.println (rset.getString(1));
stmt.close();
}

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.

Thank you all once againI am sorry to see that COPY & PASTE are broken for you.
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.

System urgent online repair

I have received a call from SYSTEM URGENT ONLINE REPAIR, and accidentally pressed "answer", 7 seconds only. I not able to block nor delete this ID. ANYBODY knows what's about? Thank you.
EDIT : title/message case changed

Please continue to Block and Report as Abuse all of these suspicious calls.
You may also wish to check your privacy settings are "locked down" to receive audio and video calls as well as instant messages from only your contacts.
I always suggest keeping up with your computer/operating system automatic updates, and to frequently run the updated anti-virus/malware/spyware software of your choice.

Got minus one from a read call

I am getting a Got minus one from a read call when I run my java program. Here is a portion of the code.
String dbName = "hahaha";
String url           = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:8080:" + dbName ;
String userName = "bababa";
String passWord = "cacaca";
try

          System.out.println(url);
          System.out.println("Connecting to FAPACMS database....");
     con = DriverManager.getConnection(url,userName,passWord);
     System.out.println("Successfully connected...");
st = con.createStatement();
rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM 'Courses'");
System.out.println("Getting data fom courses"); .....} catch .....
I am unable to find any documentation for this Got minus one from a read call error.
Any help is truly appreciated.
Thanks.

I have tried several combinations for connecting -
"jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:FAPACMS"; Don't quite understand your connect url.
You are in the forum for Oracle Express Edition, right?
Oracle XE comes per default with a SID called XE.
Why do you try to use FAPACMS?
Are you using a different version of Oracle?
In any case, please post the result of the command lsnrctl status.
