Information regarding an email waring I recieved t...

All, please be aware if you use Skype, you could get a call from "Systems Maintenance" it's a recorded message asking you to go to a web site, because your computer's security has been disabled!! It's a CON they will lock your computer and charge you to unlock!! I have placed a block and notified Skype.
I received the message as shown above in magenta from a friend today and immediately did what I always do when i get these type of messages, I Googled it to very the validity of the message, unfortunately I couldn't find any reference to a scam of the nature mentioned in the warning nor could I find anything debunking the claims, my question is is this email for real or not.
Please don't tell me the usual common sense things like I should never open these type of files or give out my password, I know this and constantly advise friends and acquaintances of the same, however I would like to know if this is a genuine claim or not so I can forward the email with the correct advice i.e. if it is true follow the advice in the email if not DON'T forward the email to 20,000 people..
Any information is appreciated Cosmic Rhapsody

The warning makes sense, but it'S not worth forwarding this message as it then just turns spam itself.
Here's how you should deal *if* you indeed receive one of those spam *calls*: http://community.skype.com/t5/Security-Privacy-Trust-and/How-to-Handle-Suspicious-Calls-Messages-and...

    Hi,
    I am trying to send the email when the task assign to the user who own the shared queue, but after I research the event object, it seem that it is not the same as the event we use in the event driven programming... so I just give up and send the email BEFORE assign the task.
    After I look at the system db tables again and again, I come up with the following SQL, which the result look like what I want, feel free to try at your environment:
    select e.email
      from tb_shared_users_2_shared_queues sq, tb_queue q, edcprincipalentity e, edcprincipaluserentity eu
    where q.workflow_principal_id = eu.refprincipalid
       and eu.uidstring = ? // user login id go here
       and q.workflow_principal_id <> sq.shared_queues_id // ignore queue owner
       and q.id = sq.shared_users_id
       and sq.shared_queues_id = e.id
    I am still asking Adobe support for the official method to get the above information, because I think the system tables may change in system update, so... use at your own risk.
    Wish it help.
    Regards

  • When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified

    When I attempt to send a text from the new iPad, a dialog box appears with the option to either sign in with Apple ID Password or Create New Account. I try signing in using my Apple ID password but IMessage informs me that email address cannot be verified because it is already in use ??? What am I doing wrong?

    settings -> iTunes & App Store
    click on apple ID listed there
    select Sign Out
    sign in with the proper account
    from then on, when the store ask for your password it should be with the correct ID

  • Does iOS have the ability to automatically show me shipping and tracking info or flight status based on information in my email?

    I am considering switching from an android to an iPhone and one of the features I use heavily on my android is my google now cards. It automatically reminds me to check in for flights and gives me flight status information based on flight information in my email. It then shows me a card for the weather where I am and where I'm going. I also use it for shipment tracking; if i have an email that has a shipping confirmation number, I have a google card that automatically shows me the tacking number and tracking status. I was wondering if Apple had something similar and if it was through Siri or something else? I have an iPad and I haven't seen features like these on it. Everything I've read about Siri so far is that the information given is based on you prompting with a question as opposed to proactively giving me information I need, which is more how I use my android today. If the answer is to us the google now app for iOS, does will it interface with my email and calendar to make relevant cards seamlessly on the iPhone like it currently does on my android phone? Thanks in advance for the help/advice!

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

    when i sign into icloud, a box appears asking me to verify the information in my email, but when i check my email inbox there is no email there. so how do i get onto icloud?
    I need to deactive icloud to be able to repair my phone as it is damaged. however when signing into icloud it appears with a box asking me to verify the information in my email. When loging into my email inbox, there is no message there from icloud to verify. so how do I get onto icloud or how else can I deactivate it without using my device?

    Hi ryball89,
    Happy Holidays!  If you are having issues with the verification email for your iCloud/Apple ID, follow the steps below:
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201455
    If you didn't receive your verification or reset email
    Not sure where that email was sent? Here are some tips to help you find it.
    When you make certain updates to your Apple ID, we’ll send you an email to help you complete the update. For example, you might have reset your password, reset your security questions, or added a new email address to your account. If you can't find the email after we send it, these steps can help.
    Search for the email
    We'll send the email from "Apple," so you can quickly search for it. If it isn't in your inbox, check your folders. If a spam filter or email rule moved the email, it might be in the Spam, Junk, Trash, Deleted Items, or Archive folder.
    Make sure you're checking the correct email account
    If you're looking for a password reset email, make sure you're checking the correct email inbox. It will either be your primary Apple ID email address or a separate rescue email address that you added to your account. 
    If you're looking for a verification email, you can sign in to My Apple ID and review all the email addresses you have on file, including the one that you're trying to verify. If the email address is incorrect, you can update it and send another verification email.
    Resend the email
    To resend a reset email, repeat the steps to reset your password or security questions, and we'll send an email to your rescue or primary Apple ID email address.
    To resend the verification email, go to My Apple ID, select Manage your Apple ID, then sign in. Click Resend next to the email address that you want to verify, and we'll send an email to that address.
    Make sure that you're getting email
    If you're not getting any email, you might need to contact your email service provider for help. You can also use these steps to get help receiving email at OS X Mail or an iCloud email address. 
    Contact us
    Go to System Status and see if Apple ID is available. If you still can't find the reset email or verification email, contact Apple Support.
    Cheers,
    Judy

  • Where to find the information regarding relationships between the tables?

    I am developing a Windows based app which among other things let’s users view SAP table schema and relationships.
    If I use SAP GUI and dig up a bit on say the MARA table I can see that
    Material Master (MARA) is related with
    1) MaterialDescription (MAKT) on columns MANDT and MATNR
    2) MaterialPlantData (MARC) on columns MANDT and MATNR
    and so on…
    My question is - in which table the information regarding relationships between the tables is stored? There must be a data dictionary table which would be storing the relationships data. Which is it? Note: I will programatically access the table, NOT from the UI.

    Thanks a lot...
    I am still working on it, but here are the current findings. DD05S, DD08L and DD08T: The schemas for these tables were very promising for the thing I was looking for. Unfortunately the data within dose not seem to serve my exact purpose.
    I found another one DD26S, which has almost 90% of the relationships I wish to explore. Do you know what is it supposed to contain?
    Thanks a lot for your help.

  • I Need Information Regarding File Upload?

    Where can I get information regarding the File uploading packages in Portal. Is there a specification I can get a hold of. I know such a package exists, as it is used by portal itself. I just need to know where I can get hold of information as to what it is called and how to invoke it.

    Suraj,
    The APIs to do file upload are not public as of yet. We are looking into the feature right now. Currently, the only supported method of file upload is using the Web Interface.
    You may find more information about this in the 9iAs Portal forum

  • TS3988 The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

    I've just updated and installed Mountain Lion. I've clicked for iCloud for Mail. The correct information in the email address, Full name and Incoming mail server panes are greyed out, and I can get no further in bring my iCloud a/c online. Any ideas? Thanks.

    They are grayed out because they are automatically set up whey you check Mail in System Preferences.  If you didn't do that, go back and do so and your iCloud email account will be set up automatically.

    Hi,
    You can use BPS and Implement IP parallely so you can use both the tools simultaniously.
    Even all the BPS variables can be used in IP.
    Need to build all the data flow from the scratch.
    Need to understand what stands for what comparing BPS and IP.
    Instead of Function Module based on ABAP in BPS we have Function Types based on ABAP OO concept.

  • HT1918 how to add a rescue email adress to recieve my reset security question ..i dont have one

    how to add a rescue email adress to recieve my reset security question ..i dont have one

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    Start here (change country if necessary) and navigate to 'Password and Security', reset your security questions using the link provided, you will receive an email to your rescue address, use the link in the email and reset your security questions.
        2.    If that doesn't help, you don't receive a reset email or you don't have a rescue address, you should contact AppleCare who will initially try to assist you with a reset email or if unsuccessful will pass you to the security team to reset your security questions for you.
        3.    If you are in a region that doesn't have international telephone support try contacting Apple through iTunes Store Support.
