We need help with unwanted contact requests

In the last 2 weeks, I have received 13 unwanted contact requests that I have blocked, which is roughly 2 unwanted contact requests for every Skype message or call I'm interested in receiving.
All of my privacy settings are set to "Contacts" and I do not publish my Skype ID on LinkedIn, the only social media site I use.
What else can I do?

Hello Gilad,
Thank you for your contact!
The script does not work, no error message comes up, I am sure it`s a
stupid mistake but neither my boss nor I are programmers.
Please have a look at the form enclosed, the field in question (field
name "calculated currency value", red border) is on the top right and
refers to the field "FX" (field name "FXname 4800") below (blue border)
Both fields are in number format so I don`t know why this doesn't work,
what else can it be?
With kind regards
Ursula

Need help with PHP contact form

Hi guys,
I've made a PHP contact form for my site and need help with a couple of things:
The form action links an external PHP script (scripts/contact-form-script.php) but is there a way I can have it so the PHP script for the form is contained within the same PHP file as my contact form (contact.php)?
I tried just putting the form code at the top of contact.php but the browser automatically reads the anti-spam re-direct, so maybe that needs revising too?
The second thing is, how can I make the Name, Email and Message fields mandatory? So if a user tries to submit the form and hasn't filled in one of the required fields and clicks submit, contact.php reloads with a message at the top of the form saying something like 'Complete the required fields' and highlights the relevant field with a red border?
Here's the code for contact.php:
<form action="http://www.mydomain.com/scripts/contact-form-script.php" method="post" name="contact" id="contact">
<p><strong>Name:*</strong><br />
<input name="name" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>E-mail:*</strong><br />
<input name="email" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Telephone:</strong><br />
<input name="telephone" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Company:</strong><br />
<input name="company" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Address:</strong><br />
<input name="address1" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><input name="address2" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Town:</strong><br />
<input name="town" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>County:</strong><br />
<input name="county" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
p><strong>Postcode:</strong><br />
<input name="postcode" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
<p><strong>Message:*</strong><br />
<textarea name="message" cols="55" rows="8" class="ctextField"></textarea></p>
<p><input name="submit" value="SEND MESSAGE" class="submitButton" type="submit" /><div style="visibility:hidden; width:1px; height:1px"><input name="url" type="text" size="45" id="url" /></div></p>
</form>
And this is the PHP I'm using to submit the form data for contact-form-script.php:
<?php
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$to = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Contact from website";

Foot stand not provided with my replacement WRT-350N - need help with Cisco contact

Hi!
I am starting to feel like Michael Douglas in the movie Falling Down and need some help.
Story:
I finally sent in my faulty WRT-350N router and when I got the replacement everything but the plastic foot stand was included. I want to have my router standing up to save desk space but now I have no foot.
"OK, should not be hard to get Linksys to send me the missing foot stand" was my thought. Now I have called the RMA line and also emailed them and I get a similar answer like Michael Douglas got with a smile
I keep hearing that I cannot get the part since it is not on the product's content list. Like that is *my* problem. I just want the part and do not care whether it is on a list or not. It is the part on top of the router in the picture. I even asked the Linksys representative to Google a bit for WRT-350N and there are foot stands on almost all pictures and it is definitely included in the box. I was told I could go nowhere else for help either with this. I really doubt that but fail to find a channel to Linksys that may be able to help.
If some Linksys representative sees this please help me!
Thanks, Niklas

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Now it should be working. To moderators, this does not hold any personal info but just want to show the quite long text to read through for the RMA:
Thank you for contacting Linksys Customer Service Department. First of all, we would like to inform you that, if your item has been purchased less than 2 years ago, you have the possibility of replacing it through the place of purchase.
If you want to replace your item through Linksys, we are more than glad to provide you with our assistance. In order to create an RMA ( authorization number for the replacement under warranty), you can do it online at
https://linksysrma.moduslink.com/Consumer/pag/ChooseRegion.aspx.
On the other hand, if you prefer us placing the RMA, please reply to this email including the following information:
Name:
Last Name:
Company Name:
Street Address:
City:
Postal Code:
Day Time Phone Number:
Model (include version):
Serial Number:
Date of Purchase:
Place of Purchase (store):
Once the RMA is created, you will receive a confirmation e-mail with the RMA number on a shipping label ( not a prepaid, as the inbound shipping is up to the customer) and all the terms and conditions . You will have to print three copies of that label. The first copy you are going to stick it in the outside of the box, the second one you are going to join it in the inside of the box and the last one is a copy for you as assurance. Together with this e-mail it will also be included all the terms and conditions. We will strongly appreciate your reading them carefully before sending the item to us. In relation to this, it will be our pleasure to summarize some of the important conditions we state in order to clarify our standard procedure:
Please write down the RMA# ( not the case id#) on the outside of the box with big numbers and letters. Moreover, we recommend our customers to use a traceable shipping method in order to get a tracking number for the delivery. This number will be helpful to track the package in case of any potential inconvenience. Remember that you will have to pay just for the inbound shipping while Linksys will be responsible for the rest of the expenses.
Furthermore, remember to include all the accessories that were included in the original package: Power Supply, Cables, User Guide, CD's. Otherwise, warranty replacement will not be possible to be performed. All other accessories shipped that did not come in the original box may not be returned. Moreover, it is important to remember that you do not have to ship the original box. Also, include on the shipping box a copy of the proof of purchase, not the original.
IMPORTANT: -If your product is part of a network kit just send the defective unit.
If you have further questions do not hesitate to call us or replying to this e-mail. Our lines are open from Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. We recommend our customers to have the case id# handy.
Regards,

New to iPhone and need help with syncing contacts.

I know how to change the settings in the iTunes view so that I can set it to sync, but when I started the transfer of my iPhone contacts it tells me that 25% of my contacts will change. What does this mean? Does this mean that the contacts on my iPhone will change, or the contacts in my Address Book on my MBP will change?
I'm a bit confused by this. I don't want to lose my address book info (mostly e-mail contacts) and I don't want to contaminate my iPhone contacts with the data in my Address Book.
Thanks for any help.

One alternative would be to set up iCloud and then sync your contacts there. This would keep them on www.iCloud.com (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ to set this up). Another would be to sync them with Google by setting up a gmail account as and exchange account, which enables contact and calendar syncing. To do this see http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=14252&answer=138740.

Need help with merging contacts! Please help!!!

Hey guys. I have a little problem with my iPhone 4 with iOS 7. I have recently synced all of my contacts with iCloud so that I will be able to export them to my pc, but this is not the problem. Since I was deleting some of the contacts I have noticed that there is a possibility (in the Edit Mode of the contact) to add a Facebook profile. So I tried to do this with a few contacts.
I am attaching a photo of how my contact with Facebook profile linked to it looks like but it's in iCloud (I get the same thing on my iPhone).
Sorry for all the black lines. So when I press the name Betyna ... under the Facebook option I get a new Facebook tab open which says - Page not found. Sorry, this page isn't available. The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.
This is the same thing I get on my phone.
Can someone help me with a solution to my problem, because I really want to link Facebook profiles to my phone contacts, but without the whole Settings/Facebook/Update Contacts and all?
So please help!!!!!

I'm creating an input source from the string, then i
pass it to the parser. No, you don't. Look at the source again.
byteStream = new
new ByteArrayInputStream(string.getBytes());
InputSource is = new InputSource(byteStream);
parser.parse(byteStream, myParser);//the line that
hat throws the exceptionYou aren't passing the InputSource to the parser at all.
However, why are you using this roundabout way to pass the string to the parser? Why not justparser.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(string)), myParser);?

Need Help with hijacked contact lists

Hello all, I am new here, so please forgive me if I'm posting to the wrong board...didn't really see anything more appropriate. I have a problem with a hijacked contact list:
I have three email accounts being forwarded to my BB Curve 8530. Two from Yahoo and one from AOL. In each of these accounts (when accessed directly from yahoo.com or aol.com) have different contacts. Not all of these contacts are in my BB contact list. The other day, one of my yahoo accounts was somehow hacked, and resulted in one of those spam "drugs for sale" emails being sent to people in my contact list. Well, when I investigated, I discovered that actually, someone who is not even in that particular accounts contact list, but another account. How is this possible?
If that is confusing, here's a better summary (using fake email addresses):
[email protected] sent a bogus email message to [email protected]
but, [email protected] is not in [email protected]'s address book. it is in [email protected] [email protected] is not listed in my BB device's contact list.
The only thing I can think os is somehow the BB was hacked, and someone was able to go through all linked contact lists, and send an email across all connected accounts.
How was this able to happen? what can I do to stop it?
thanks!
Lee

Sorry, not possible... UNLESS you gave your BlackBerry to someone to use for a while, during which time they spammed all your contacts. Did you?
Do you have a Security password set on the device? If you are afraid of the above happening, setting the password will just that impossible.
But it wasn't hacked.

Need help with Gmail Contact issue

First I'm loving the phone! It's a great device and was a great decision to get. I haven't noticed any issues with the phone until today. When I purchased the phone on 3/22/13 everything synced up perfect. All my calendar entries and contacts sync from Gmail and has been fine since today. I got a log in error for my email and calendar this morning and I had an issue logging back in. So I removed the account and set it back up. Now all my contacts on my Gmail account are missing online. The contacts are still on my phone but not associated with my Gmail account. I went through most of them and some are associated with facebook, twitter and linkedin.
Not sure how but that's not my issue. I will try to figure that out later. What I want is, if there's a way to transfer them back to my Gmail account?
Again I have all the contacts and really don't want to manually enter them back into the phone.
Any help will be grateful!

From my own experience I had issues with Gmail. Later on I found out other people also had issues. These were with syncing.
What may have happened is your Gmail account setup may have received the indication that you remotely deleted the contacts.
As for myself, I found I had best results with Hotmail for syncing the contacts and etc.

I need help with my contacts in Groups

I have one question with Contacts on your iPhone I already have contacts in groups but when I press done on the top right of the screen it just shows all contacts but I want them in groups which I already have it set up but I think not the right way and this is with icloud because I want my contacts in groups so like Family and then if I want to get to a contact that is family that group would open up or friends and so on the same way as I said with Family Thanks!!
I hope that's not to confusing let me know

Here's an article that explains how to create contact groups in the Contacts app on your Mac: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-organize-contacts-into-groups-in-mo untain-l.html. Once you have created the groups you want, sync your mac with iCloud and these groups will appear on your phone. This guide explains how to sync your mac with iCloud: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
After you start syncing your Mac with iCloud, make sure you stop syncing the same data using iTunes. If you don't, you'll end up with duplicates. Make sure you don't check Sync Contacts or Sync Calendars, Mail or Bookmarks on the Info tab of your iTunes sync settings if you are syncing these with iCloud now.

Need help with my contacts and email - used to have ipod touch

Hi all
I had an ipod touch in the past that I used to sync through the laptop i'm on now. However, I sold that quite some time ago and just got a new iphone the other day. when I hooked it up to my laptop to set up, my old touch account came up. This normally wouldn't be a problem but now it's syncing all my OLD contacts (thousands of them) and old email accounts...some of which are not in my windows live mail anymore.
How do I go about:
1) getting rid of all these contacts that were just loaded onto the phone
2) starting new to add only the contacts I have in my windows live contacts list?
I've tried deauthorizing the computer but that didn't do anything other than delete old apps I had on the touch.
Much appreciated!

Were you provided an option to transfer the backup from your Touch to your iPhone that you accepted?
Which supported application on your computer are you syncing contact info with?
With Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or with the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - which is the name change for Outlook Express with Vista. The address book is called Windows Contacts I believe and the sync option for contact info is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences.

I have a "Contact" organization issue I need help with. I organize multiple customers under their account affiliation. I place the people with their contact info under each account name by their dept/role in the notes section of their account. I am looking to be able to directly dial / email from this info in yet notes section located within a contact. On Blackberry, the notes area entered in a contact can connect directly but on the iPhone those numbers/emails are inactive. I am trying to avoid having to create each of these individuals as a separate contact and keep them under their account affiliation. It is easier to find them. This does not seem like that complicated of a request and hoping someone can tell me how or share an app that will enable the "notes" within a contact be "active". Hope this makes sense.

I seem to recall that this question has been asked before and I'm pretty sure that the answer is that you can't do what you want to do with the native contact app. However, there are lots of contact apps out there that pull from the built app's data but have other features. Perhaps one of them would meet your needs.

Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I followed the steps given and ended up with just email addresses showing in my contacts even though I have phone numbers and snail mail in my Outlook Contacts. Using Windows 7

I need help syncing my contacts between Outlook and iPhone using iTunes. I used the knowldge document and set it up to transfer my Outlook contacts to the iphone using itunes.
In contacts on the iphone I only see the email addresses.
Yet in Outlook I have email, snail mail and phone numbers.
I followed the knowledge document from iphone.
I did it once, didn't work so deleted all the contacts from the phone and tried again. Same result. I have a PC using Windows 7 64 bit.

You can't access an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac.
You can access a MM account with Outlook on your PC at work and keep your MM email account server stored mailboxes synced between your PC at work, your iPhone, and the MM "cloud". Not sure about syncing MM contact info and calendar events with Outlook at the same time with an Exchange account.
This will not provide for syncing your Exchange account contact info and calendar events with the Addresss Book and iCal on your Mac because the accounts are separate.
You can access an Exchange account and a MM account at the same time with the iPhone's mail client, and sync contact info and calendar events over the air with both accounts at the same time. You can view combined contact info or separately for each account, and the same for calendar events.

Sorry.
The iPhone is of no use until/unless the previous owner removes it from their account.
You will need to find the prior owner or return the iPhone.

How to Handle Unwanted Contact Requests

Unfortunately, there is currently no method to sort or filter incoming contact requests.   I think it would be very difficult for Skype to determine if a certain person is a potential scammer or spammer, unless they receive relevant reports from users who receive suspicious contact requests from them. Below are some suggested steps on how to deal with unwanted, random, unknown, or suspicious contact requests.
1. Take note of the username and display name of the user (please see image sample below)
2.       Open the Contact request then click the Block Button.
3.       The Block This Person window will also appear, you can click the Report Abuse box if you feel that that contact is indeed a highly potential scammer or spammer.  Click the Block button to confirm your action.
4.       You can also report them to [email protected]
Then Skype will be notified of the suspicious activities of the reported user/s and will most likely prompt them to check and investigate those users. Their account might be put under suspension, termination, or prevent them from creating new accounts or using Skype services.
Note: Setting your account's privacy settings to allow messages and calls from people in your contact list only will only prevent the ability of non-contacts to call you or send you instant messages. It will not stop unwanted contact requests from random users.

I think the problem results from the level of visibility Skype users present. For these random requests to come in, there must be some way of trawling for Skype IDs, which would allow would-be scammers and spammers to make the requests. My wife gets many of them and I get virtually none, so they obviously target women.
If Skype users could manage their level of visibility to prevent random trawling or browsing, but allow targeted searches, that should reduce the incidence of this problem enormously.
Another way would be to create an option for a "Contact Token" which could be forwarded to people you allow to make contact requests. They would need to supply the correct token (matching your individual "Contact Token") in order for the request to be submitted. ie. in Privacy Settings, add the followng option:
"Only accept and display contact requests from users supplying the following Contact Token: _____"
This may seem overly heavy-handed, but it would suit many people who don't want to be bothered by nuisance contact requests, and if they like spam and scam, they don't have to enable the option!
