How to report a new scam

We have been getting an occasional pop-up on one of our iPads saying something about a potential Safari security issue and to please call 1-855-569-0240 immediately. It claims to be from http://online-safari-issue.com.
I don't remember downloading any new apps that could be doing this, plus the same apps are on both iPads. So, where does this come from and how does it get onto the iPad?
Also, is there an Apple phone number or email address that I should report this to?

New scam...beware of this email.

I just recieved the following email. Obviously it's a scam and the community members are a lot smarter than that but I just thought I would pass it along to Adobe and the community.
I think the big tip off here is the "%TO_NAME"
" It has come to my attention that you might have an interest in purchasing ADOBE Creative Suite CS6 Full version .
I am selling ADOBE Creative Suite CS6 Full version   --- the FULL version, besides it does not need to go through the "Activation" process.
Although this is a not an "official disk" it works exactly the same,and has even more benefits. Since it has no activation files, it can
be installed unlimited times on as many computers as you like which is a big plus!
The only down side to this is that there is no Web Based Support from Graphic COMPANY because it was not bought from them.
It's functions is all the same as Store_Bought programs.
I'd be willing to sell it to you for a very low price of $100 USD .-plus a small shipping & handling fee.You simply cannot beat this offer.
This would cost you more than $2000 USD.-plus tax in any store and you can only install the store bought version on one computer.
As I said there are not any limitations or restrictions with this type of version other than the web-based support,
but who really needs that anyways? I don't.
If you want to purchase any Graphic email me with your shipping address and I will even send it in advance.
You will receive it in 4-8 business days and check it out for free to see if it is in perfect condition
(just check out whether it is readable on your system or not) just open it up and see if your computer can read the files and if so then
   it will work with your system. Then email me back and let me know.
After I get your payment via an online-payment service such as Western Union which usually seems to work best for most people.
I will email you the code-number to install the programs .This is the best method to do this type of business online....
for all parties involved.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thank You,
   %TO_NAME"

Have you been contacted about an $80 credit? It's a scam.

My daughter alerted me to a call she received from Verizon telling her that we had an $80 credit and just to log in to receive it.
Today, I just received a phone call (robo-call from phone number 800-922-1212) claiming that it was from Verizon and because I was such a good customer I could save $80 on my next bill by logging onto www.Verizon80.com. When I tried to call back the number it was not in service. When I looked on the official VerizonWireless.com website there was no warning but also no such program.
I typed in the URL that they had given on the message and Chrome warned me that it was a Phishing website. Just trying to trick people into giving away their account information. I wanted to warn others. This is a Scam!
Others reported on http://whocallsme.com/
"I went to that address, and it looks very ligit -- a big Present with a place to put your phone number/password/last 4 of SS# and make it ligit looking by making you put in a phishing code. PLEASE, DO NOT TO THIS -- IT IS A SCAM!! I called Verizon to verify its legitimacy and confirmed it IS a new SCAM."

Agreed. I just received a call as well saying the exact same thing, except this on told me to go to www.verizon36.com
Came from the Verizon customer service number just like yours. What got me thinking for a moment that it *might* be real, is because I am currently using the prepaid services, but my phone is currently off and the fact that I still received the phone call is what go me thinking.
But yes, another scam. Thanks for the share.

Chat and Vision Scam : Bought Skype Gift Card, No ...

I had bought a Skype Gift Card worth $10.00 from ChatAndVison, and Skype moderators please don't tell me it's got nothing to do with skype since I was redirected from skype.com itself. It's been 4 days, and I still haven't got any email regarding the gift card being sent and payment being verified.

I sense scam and I simply DO NOT undestand why Skype doesn't have their own shop and relies on this pathetic third party to do the transactions.

Anyone else fed up with the 14 day Policy, I am. Lets do something about it.

I posted this in the Motorola forums also and now that I can finally post in the Verizon forums, I’m posting it here too.
This phone (Droid Bionic) worked perfectly the first 14 days accept for one glitch where it toggled to 3G while in the same place and I called into Verizon and they said to take out the battery and SIM card and restart it and it seemed to work fine for the next few days, until the 15th day, past the return point. I wonder, do these companies try to stall us past the 14th return policy so they can lock us into new contracts and equipment?
Now after the 14th day the phone toggles from 3-4G all the time no matter where I am and disconnects me from the internet with I get an email notification. I call Verizon on the 16th day and they give me the canned rhetoric about the 14 day policy and that they will send me a replacement BUT can’t guarantee that it will be new, more likely it will be refurbished. WHAT THE ****. I just paid for a NEW phone not a used one and within 30 days they want to send me a used one…NO WAY IN HELL is that acceptable. The car lemon laws are better…you get a new one.
Well guess what, they tell me that THEY and Motorola are the ones that made these policies…SO, I’m here to ask everyone else that is also fed up with this **bleep** to lobby, boycott, raise hell if you have to, to get these **bleep** policies changed to at least 30 days, like any other product we buy in the USA.
It’s real interesting that the phone worked fine for 14 days and then it went to crap. If I want 3G I have the HTC Imagio that worked fine for many years and was still working fine when I got the Droid Bionic, I don’t need a new phone to get 3G. I think the manufacturer and Verizon are in this together, knowing that their products are built like {word filter avoidance} and won’t last past 14 days, thus the policy.
After 15 days of gripping to Verizon, they are having me purchase a new Droid Bionic (so I don’t have to get a used one) and will re-start my contract for 2 years, then when I send the crap droid back to them they will credit my account…this is doable, ONLY IF the new phone works. But it is a {word filter avoidance} hassle. We are the consumer buying YOUR product, we should be treated better.
According to Verizon, Motorola is coming out with a patch or software upgrade…sometime in Nov. that is supposed to FIX this **bleep** service.
Well Motorola, if it doesn’t, I’ll be under a new 14 day return policy until the last day of Nov. and if the “Fix” doesn’t work, I’m taking this worthless piece of crap back to Verizon and I’m going back to my 3G HTC.
You Manufactures need to get it right, OUT OF THE BOX, not have the consumer pay for the product, give them only 14 days and then have them locked into a 2 year contact then you fix the problems. That’s BULL**bleep**. And I hope others will join me in lobbying,, call your local TV news channel, boycotting and if we have to, raise hell with all these companies, like you, Verizon and all the other phone service and phone making companies to change the 14 day return policy like Srpint and AT&T...as the Verizon rep stated about thier 14 day policy.
If you don’t change your policies, when and IF I buy another product from Verizon, if it glitches even the slightest, instead of calling in for help and getting the stall tactic rhetoric of restarting this and pulling out that to make it work right to stall me past the 14 days, I’ll send the **bleep** thing back 50 times if that what it takes to get a product that works so I don’t get locked into the purchase or the contact if I can’t get something that works.
I am furious and I’m not going to stop raising hell until you and companies like you start taking better care of consumers like me that spend their money on YOUR products.
If this next phone I get doesn’t work I’m going back to my HTC 3G. And I’m not done with you people. I’m going to do whatever it takes though legal means to see to it that you and companies like you change your **bleep** policies and stall tactics to keep us locked into products that are crap.
And another note to add: In talking with some of the reps at Verizon, when I ask that an email be sent to me to verify the conversation and I get: “Well we can’t do that”, you are lying. I did have one of your reps send me an email. The fact that you won’t tells me that you are trying to keep our conversation off the record so it won’t come back and bit you in the behind later. Your big company with all its technology can’t send an email…{word filter avoidance}. Its not going to stop me from waging legal war on you for the crap you put us through.
This was my 2nd post on the Moto forum:
I have spoken with someone at Motorola and they invited me to send in my phone to them and then 5-7 business days after they receive it they would send it back fixed or replace it. However, they would not send me a loaner phone and referred me back to Verizon for that…NOT going to happen.
We the people made these companies successful and pay them good money for their products; they need to treat us better when it is THERE product that doesn’t work properly.
I also addressed the update issue with the person from Moto, they couldn’t tell me what issues it will address or when it would be released, only that it’s going to happen sometime in Nov.
That is why I say this: If it doesn’t work right out of the box and there is 1, even 1 minimal hick up, I’m sending it back 50 times if I have to within the 14 days and I’ll keep doing it until I get one that works or finally get fed up with crappy equipment and go back to my 3G HTC and to hell with Verizon’s contract and Moto’s equipment.
Also I have learned talking with the person at Moto that it is ONLY Verizon that has set the 14 day policy and has nothing to do with Moto. Another bit of incorrect info I got from Verizon, and I quote: “We have to abide by the manufactures policies they set and we cannot change the 14 day policy…OK so who’s lying here, Verizon or Moto?
Doesn’t really matter, we the people need to take action and put a stop to this outrageous **bleep**. How? By sending these **bleep** things back the minute they don’t work, within the 14 days unless they change it to longer, like at least 30 days and don't let them stall us with their **bleep** over the phone.
And two, if we do have a glitch that we have to call in about because the product doesn’t work, the time clock starts over but our contract count down time does not if we have to have it replaced with a NEW product or decide we are fed up with the crappy product and want to cancel it all together and go back to what we had, within the 30 day period AFTER the last glitch we called in about. If we can get them to change it to 30 instead of 14.
That will keep them and the manufactures of these products on their toes and stop selling us crap that they later have to fix. It should work out of the box and if it doesn’t 30 days down the road, there should be no issue in replacing it with a NEW product (NOT a refurbished one) and the countdown times starts again.
If any of you know some powerful political people, you need to ask them to start writing some new laws about this stuff unless these company’s police their own first and take care of these issues, but because they are making gobs of money off us, I doubt they will, so we have to force the issue and MAKE them do it though laws.
To add:
I'm not done with you Verizon. If this next Bionic doens't work and the update in Nov. does not fix it I'm sending it back and going back to my original HTC and canceling the NEW 2 year contract. Your CELL server is by far the best, the equipment is not. And I will not and should not be held to a 2 year contact if you cannot provide me with a product that works.
You really need to change your policies on your own before we the people make it a law. Take the initiative and make it right.
You want to be the best company out there, then don't follow Sprint or AT&T, be your own company and don't tell us on the phone that "All companies are doing that"...are you as lame as all the other companies out there or can you stand on your own and be the best?

Update:
The “CS supervisor” at Verizon still cannot arrange for me to take back $100 of worthless accessories if I send the 3G Bionic back…
So, as the last poster stated, I did cancel my other two lines with Verizon and went to AT&T (I’ll save $400 per year) and canceled my Hot Spot (a saving of $360 per year); A loss to Verizon of $1,236 per year, so I will recoup my expenditures if I send the current 2nd 3G Bionic phone back. I get 4 bars with AT&T and only 2 with Verizon at my location...hum...imagine that.
I may just be a little cog in the big wheel but if enough of us did this, and we should, it would get their high and might attention that we customers are not going to let them Lie to us or as the CS super said, “miscommunicate” pertinent information that effects our buying/spending decision and drags us out past the 14 day limit.
The final word on any update is that there isn’t one anyone can talk about or knows about, but it seems that all the techs at Verizon have the same problem with their droids; they activate the Airplane mode, then deactivate it and the 4G will come back. That’s all dandy unless when you get disconnected from the internet it closes out important things you were in the process of doing…isn’t that special. Very lame Verizon, very lame.
I’ve done a lot of research on Version’s Androids and it appears that ALL of them since they’ve been out have this same problem with the flipping from 4 to 3G and other connectivity issues…so it’s not a MOTO thing unless MOTO has built a problem product…it’s Verizon’s towers or signals etc. No one has figured it out and neither has Verizon or we wouldn’t have these issues.
And the "jargon" I get from Verizon that MOTO is being very “secretive” about the update is laughable...the real reason I believe they say this is because there isn’t one. Every other company out there in the tech world that knows what the problems are let people know that they are going to release an update and the issues they are working to fix…the “it’s a secret” is a sly way of putting us off because they don’t have any freakin idea what the problem is and how to fix it.
I will say that WHEN this Bionic works like it is supposed to, it is awesome. My biggest issue with this company is there deceitfulness and not telling us the true story up front and their lame 14 day limit...but I understand why that was put in place, their equipment only works for 14 days then takes a dump. So I doubt they will ever change it back unless they grow a pair and start selling good equipment that works out of the box.
They should be very up front about these issues BEFORE the customer signs on to a new two year service contract; miscommunications like these that have a bearing on money the customer is going to spend and contractual requirements they will be bound by…in other professional occupations, is considered a criminal offense and the sales people that commit this offense are dealt with by imprisonment and loss of licenses.
Why should Verizon be treated any differently?
So for future buyers, beware that when you sign on to a new 2 year contact and put out some bucks for this 3G Bionic, it will work sometimes but don't look to Verizon or MOTO for any solution, they don't have one.
Enjoy the phone, when it works, but expect significant problems that WILL happen regularly (flipping back and forth from 4-3G, disconnects from the internet when you get notifications or when it flips from 4 to 3G, battery not charging when you are connected to your computer, etc.), returning the phone will not fix the problem because the problem is not known to Verizon or MOTO. The techs will tell you do disconnect the battery, the SIM Card, get a new SIM card, restart and/or do a hard factory reset. None of this works.
And if you don’t want to get locked into another 2 year contact, understand that your 14 day count down starts the day they send the phone to you, not the day you activate it, so that means that you really only have 12 days to try it out before you return it the post mark on the fed ex return package cannot be one day past the 14th day or you will be on the hook. And don’t forget to also return the accessories to store before the 14 day marked on the receipt about 12 inches from the top (it is not in bold so look very close at the date at the top also) if you buy them at a Verizon store.
If you replace the SIM card, as I did, don’t let some rep that isn’t paying attention to your file notes tell you that your 14 day count down is later than sooner, they (the reps) get confused or whatever they do, but they look at SIM card activation and not when the phone was sent to you or for that matter when you activated it.
I’ve been under a lot of “miscommunicated” information from the start with my first 14 day 3G bionic so although I’ve done a lot of ranting here, I hope my information helps others not get stuck or at least you will go into this with eyes VERY WIDE OPEN.
It has been 2 years since I looked into any new phone and I was not aware of all the NEW scams, trickery and deceptions Verizon has taught their reps and supervisors to use on us, but it makes sense, their equipment is so faulty they had to figure out how to keep the money coming in.
DO NOT TRUST VERIZON to be helpful, they are there ONLY to lock you into contacts and stick you with equipment that they and their manufacturer cannot and do not know how to fix.

Cant get out of website

Website wont close, "are you sure you want to leave this page" comes up. I click yes and it doesnt respond.

This is a new scam, the site is designed to ask that question incessantly until you give up.
Most users end up killing the browser in the Windows Task Manager. At that point, if you restart normally, Firefox will try to load your previous tabs and windows, bringing back the problem. It's frustrating.
I've heard of two workarounds to break the cycle:
# Disable JavaScript or
# Change the post-crash behavior to present a list of tabs instead of loading them all automatically
''Disable JavaScript''
(1) In the new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''java''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''javascript.enabled''' preference to switch it from true to false.
This may or may not affect the already open tab, but when you kill Firefox and restart it, the scripts that prevent you from closing that tab should not be able to run. After closing it, you can go back into about:config and turn JavaScript back on.
''Change Post-Crash Startup setting''
(A) In the new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(B) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(C) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
Also, please see this thread for more information and a longer-term workaround:

N96 v12 firmware replacement - Any Ideas?

Does anybody have any indication or idea when nokia will release firmware to replace v12?
cheers
Nathan
Cheers
Nathan

Almost 5 months ago there were rumors about v20 and that's it. It is still rumors. Only a couple of people in this forum seems lucky to be end up with the perfect N96. psychomania***** is one of the lucky ones. The minute someone says something wrong with their N96 psychomania***** comes out with his fairytale about his perfect N96. May be he is sponsored by Nokia. Who knows? It is cheaper than making a real phone.
I met many people in and out side this forum who are extremely disappointed with their N96. They all feel cheated by the Nokia. I was a Nokia phone fan for many years. I will never buy another Nokia phone again. I paid more than £500 for my N96, sim free and unbranded. I had it replaced 3 times and even with v12 it is still buggy.
Remember when the N95 came out. It took them years to come up with the firmware that suited the phone. By that time the market value of the phone dropped to very low.
Considering the current financial status of Nokia and the recent sales figures, I don't think Nokia is keen to bother with firmware upgrades for N96. They got your money and they are not in a hurry to fix your phone. They will be spending all their resources on new scam to generate more cash by launching another new model. May be N97.
If you bought a N96 then you been DONE. Don't waste your time and move on. I did.

Account deactivation e-mail?

I recently received an e-mail indicating my iTunes account would be deactivated because it wasn't being used and it would be deleted within 30 days. I access my iTunes account regularly, so I know this isn't true. It's asking me to click on a button to reactivate my account. Reading the e-mail over, it has all of Apple's information down correctly, only suspect thing in it is one typo.
Is this a new scam going around?

Verizon's new ripoff/scam???

So how does Verizon treat their loyal customers? Well it seems like recently they have treated me with false promises and fake promotions.....
It's strange that despite to speaking with multiple reps about certain promotions, NONE of them seem to make a "note" on my account to document our discussion and promises they make.
2 recently failed promos:
1) A loyalty promotion of getting 30gb of data for $130 was promised to me in October. Since it was in the middle of my billing cycle it was supposed to go into effect the following billing cycle.......3 billing cycles later and nothing has changed. When I call to find out what happened, nobody knows what promo I'm talking about. Of course they still offer me 30gb data but at $75 more than what I'm currently paying.
2) Get $100 bill credit for a new smartphone activation. With this promotion I activated 2 new lines and was told to wait 2-3 billing cycles for it to reflect. 3 cycles later nothing has shown up. I call about this issue and guess what?????? Nobody knows what promo I'm talking about again!!! How is that possible?!?!?! They decide to research my account and call me back about 6 hours later to tell me that they still cannot find that promotion. And of course there is no notations on my account regarding such promo?
I feel ripped off, lied to and scammed by a company that I have been a customer with for over 8 years. I have 8 active lines!!! I'm looking forward to better customer service and treatment from Sprint who will right off the bat save me $$ on my monthly bill. They will be glad to have my account.
Sad story but it's true. The ending will be a happy one though! Sprint HERE WE COME!

I am an new customer to verizon and received the standard router, the MI424-wr model (Fios qualtium. 75/25) and was intersted in more info about Verizon's new FiOS GigE Wireless N Router. how much would i be paying for it to swap for the current router i received from verizon when i signed up with verizon for FiOS GigE Wireless N Router?
The MI424WR Rev I is free if you have a 75/25 or greater plan. (Or used to be.) It is also popular and sometimes they are out of it and must give new customers a lower Rev model.
Call customer service and ask them to send you the Rev I. If they are available you should be able to get one at no cost. Don't bother with going to a Verizon store. They can swap equipment, but they will not give you a model upgrade.

New email login page scam advert - Beware.

On 23rd December my other half saw an advert on the new email login page for a 14 day trial of something called RVTL Anti Aging cream, all you had to pay was the postage (£2.99). This is basically a scam as the 14 day clock starts as soon as you click and there is a nasty £95 surprise taken from your credit card 14 days later unless you cancel before. The £95 is not mentioned anywhere you can see it when you place the order.
In our case with Christmas and New Year holidays the product did not even arrive until day 15 so there was no chance to cancel before the deadline. We called their service desk and was told bluntly that the 14 days had expired and they had taken the money. The bank also informed us they could not stop the transaction, although any future ones will be refused.
The company names concerned seem to be Sheridan Labs and JEM Marketing of Cranleigh in Surrey and Equinox Beauties operating from a PO box in Linlithgow. I did a quick search yesterday when we realised what was going on and it seems to be a well known problem. My Norton anti-virus even flags some of their RVTL web pages as unsafe.
I am very surprised and shocked that BT would allow such scammers to operate from the BT mail website and have asked BT for an explanation.

Their T&C below are from the RVTLSKIN company website about the trial offer.

Not really a scam as they clearly state the terms and costs, but still hard to take.

Verizon Scamming "New Phone" Buyers

A month ago I bought what i thought was a new iPhone 5. It was supposed to be new, and they told me it was brand new. But I immediately had problems with it. The phone has never been dropped, had a drop split on it, or been out of the case for that matter. So I took it in to my local Verizon store, and the representative said i had two options: either trade it in for a refurbished phone, or pay a $150 dollar deductible and get a new one. I said i refuse to trade my "new" phone for somebody's hand-me-down, and I'm not paying a cent for them screwing up and selling me a faulty phone FOR FULL PRICE!!! She basically said that I am **** out of luck. So I took it to the apple store to see if they can fix it, and they figured out the problem: THE PHONE WAS USED AND WAS MISSING HARDWARE INSIDE IT WITH BENT WIRES! I have that documented and that it would have never left the apple facility in that condition, it would have failed inspection. So I brought it back to the Verizon store, and after going back and forth with the manager, he agreed to send me a "certified pre-owned" one in the mail.... NO!!!! I just want the new phone I was "sold". He said he couldn't get me a new one because it wasn't in stock, the 5s was the only one in stock... So I said than give that to me, because you owe me a new phone! And he said he couldn't do that, but I could get another phone for full price I would have to pay. No, what you can't do is sell someone an aftermarket, faulty phone and claim its BRAND NEW!!! WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE IN THE WORLD!!! And the worst part is my family has been loyal customers for years! All I wanted was to get a truly NEW phone. To get what I had originally paid for. And it would have all been OK. VERIZON IS SCAMMING YOU... DON'T EVER BUY A "NEW" PHONE FROM THEM... I will be filing a lawsuit in Arvada, Colorado's Small Slaims Court, and get 7NEWS Investigates to do a segment on the evening news, if this isn't resolved.

Was the store you purchased the device from a corporate store or a premium retailer? What does your receipt say you purchased?
