We are getting calls from "peoples connect u.s.a." telling us they are providers of service for Microsoft and Macintosh. They have been informed our computer has informed them our drivers are in going to crash. legit. We think they are bogus. Right?
Does anyone else get calls from "Peoples' Connect U.S.A." indicating they have received error signals from our computer that that all drivers are going to crash and that our system is at high risk?
I get about one a day, usually saying our Windoze computer is infected (we don't have a Win computer). I cheerily thank then for calling and say I need to transfer them to our IT manager (I'm a home user so no such thing), lay down the phone near a radio with elevator music, and go about my business.
One person reported here within the last month that they fell for the trick. The callers ended up with $600 of her money for something that did not need fixing. They also ended up with her credit card number, her phone number, and her e-mail address. They had a good day; she didn't.
As most of these calls come from overseas (I call them "Mike from Mumbai" calls), the FCC can't do much but wring their hands. They've not been able to stop the "Rachel from Cardholder Services" robo-calls that have been plaguing US households for nearly a decade.

Okay so I barely use the calling/phone app (the one that comes on it) on my iPhone but most of the calls I get are from random people who I do not know who have the wrong number asking for the same people! I block them all I can but they're not always the same number there's different numbers all the time it's extremely annoying and driving me crazy, the one person left a voice mail again asking for the same person so I called them back and they denied they ever called I kept telling them I got a voicemail from that number and they kept saying no one called from that number. I literally cannot take this anymore. I remember seeing somewhere when I was setting up my phone where I can set it so people cannot call you if they're not in your contacts list. Is there a way to do that? If there is could you please let me know and how to do so? I seriously really need this please. I have an iPhone 4s that's on ios 7.1.2 if that helps any. Thanks so much.
hi, this thread already deals with the issue:
How can I prevent getting calls from number that are not in my address book? -
How long does it take to get approval from iTunes Connect and how do I find out if they are even working on it? I'm not really sure if my application was even delivered - from the links in IBA. Any suggestions how one might push the right buttons at Apple?
Also went around in a big circle trying to get beyond the confusion of not having the right Apple ID when I've had it a long time. Confusion abounds and learning this forum also takes a new degree of patience. Humbling to say the least :-)
Anyone been there done that?[email protected]

Is anyone else getting calls from Lagrange, GA? (706)594-**** area?
I have been getting calls from:706-594-****, 706-594-****, 706-594-****, 706-594-****. If I let it go to voice mail. They won't leave a message. and if I answer it they hang up. It's my belief that they are a service in determining if the line is active and what times you answer. Normally when I call them back I get a message that their voicemail box is full and I can't leave anything. But on the last attempt, I was able to reach 706-594-****, the man said he was out of the states and the call did not come from him because it would have been several $$/per min. and he claims someone must be using his number. (Are you getting this Verizon?) I did a reverse number look-up and found out these numbers are Verizon Numbers! Can't you put an end to this? Or as long as they're a paying customer.....they can do whatever they want to other customers?
Please people, if you are being harassed by telemarketers, prank callers, spoofers (like the ones who call and caller ID says "000-000-0000") Speak up, speak out! let verizon know there is a problem. They need to make a Complaint Page. One where you can enter Problem numbers quickly. They can check it out, look at it's history and even block or invalidate his/her service if chosen to do so.
I am on "do not call list". My number is unlisted. I don't give my number out. So the only way I'm getting calls is from an auto dialer or Verizon is leaking them out..
All I know, I'm sick of it. Something needs to be done. We shouldn't have to pay a monthly service to add numbers to a blocked lists that blocks the numbers permanently and is limited to only 20. Nor the free service be limited to 5 and only lasts for a few months. Let's put our heads together and find something that works!

Is it possible to get iPhone audio (telephone calls) from Lightning connection? Music works, but calls switch to internal or extenral speakers, not lightning (for e.g. docking station, car...)!
I want to get the audio out of the lightning connection (the way you get audio when you connect it to a dock). It works properly with music, but when making a telephone call, it switches to the internal speraker. You can change to the external spekers, but you cannot select another audio out. It's also possible to get the telephone audio from the analogue connection, but that's not what I want. I want telephone audio from lightning...
Would be so great if anybody has an ideaI must also say that the second update ruined my Lumia's battery life.
With the first (out-of-the-box) update the phone usually had 30 percent of battery after a quite hard day (e.g. more than an hour of talking via bluetooth handsfree, more than two hours of listening to the music via bluetooth, more than an hour of browsing via wifi, and reading hundreds of e-mails via two mail accounts). I never managed to discharge it after one day (e.g. 14-16 hours) of continous use, no matter how much I talked, listened and browsed.
Now, with the secod update, it discharges to 20% after 12 hours of laying still almost without use (30 mins of music, less than 15 mins of talking and nothing more), and discharges completely with the usage pattern described above.
Did the second update contain some Android code? -
After updating Firefox I start getting calls from 253-802-0308 (International Telcom in Auburn Washington, found using 411.com). The report that they are getting messages that my Windows PC is reporting the downloading of malicious files. I don't think that there is a connection with Mozilla but it only started after I ran the last 2 or 3 updates to Firefox. Searches on Google and other search engines don't show logical connections to the phone calls and the problem being reported to me. None of my anti-virus programs, Ccleaner, DEFENDER & AVG pickup and malicious files. I'm curious about who they may be because when I question them during the calls they end up hanging up on me. Just wondering if similar problems are being reported.
That is a reported scammer set-up. Read some of the following from actual phone customers. It is not related to your Firefox updates. I have gotten a few of these types of calls on my '''''unlisted '''''home phone number over the past several years. They use a dialer, usually automatic and sequential number dialing. Get a loud whistle to blow into the phone mouth piece or one of those loud air horns from the hardware/sporting good store; this kind of trash deserves broken ear drums.

I'm using same icloud and same apple ID on two iphones. Now i get calls from same number on both iphones at the same time. How to turn off that?
Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen. -
I want to create a distinct (default) ringtone for calls from people not in my address book?

IPhone4 gets calls from contacts but when attending, the call is reversed.
My iPhone 4 with iOS6 occasionally gets a call from my contacts and when I attend the call, I hear the phone ringing and that contact gets a call from me. This is weird because, I used two sims in the same device and the problem still exists. I also tried formatting the phone and reinstalling iOS. I asked the service provider (Vodafone IN) customer care, but they are not sure what the problem is.
I read two functional requirements here:
When there are no agents available in CSQ1, simultaniously queue the call into CSQ2.
Allow internal employees to transfer calls to CSQ2 specifically.
For the first requirement you can just nest a second Select Resource step within the Queued condiiton of the first Select Resource step.
For the second just create a second trigger on the same application, use a Get Trigger Info step to understand which trigger was used. Use that with an If step and a Goto step to skip forward in the script to the nested Select Resource step of CSQ2 if the internal-only trigger was used. -

tdesomma1,
That is definitely odd! Are these calls telemarketing calls? Have you answered and requested that they remove you from thier calling list?

Stop answering calls with blocked numbers. If it's someone who really wants to talk to you, they'll leave you a message and you can call them back.

Getting calls from blocked numbers
I have been receiving phone calls from a blocked number, is there any way to find out who it is? I know when someone blocks there number on a landline you can *69 and call the number back can you do that with a cell phone?
Hey there, barkar! Although it's been a while, I recall a period of time when I would get calls from blocked numbers. It can be very upsetting! I wish I could say that there's a way to see beyond those blocks, but the very purpose of the blocks is to protect the caller's privacy (even if that protection may come at the expense of the peace of mind of those being called). The best advice I can offer is to just not answer calls from individuals you either don't recognize or don't expect. Let them roll to voicemail. Must legitimate calls will leave you a message with their intentions stated.
And, if they become too much to handle, you do have the option to change your mobile number free of charge through My Verizon. Good luck to you!
