I have often had issues right after Microsoft installs an update to my PC. The March 2018 update locked me out by killing my mouse and keyboard so I could not log in. I spent around $140 at Fry's to have my PC files backed up and everything wiped. We all thought I had been attacked by a virus. After spending days trying to get into my PC myself, and days waiting for Fry's to restore my PC, I had to reinstall all of my programs. I spent almost 2 hours on hold with Viper support only to find out that they were inundated with calls from others having the same issues after to Windows update.

They re-sent my software and explained what happened with this:"We have researched this issue internally and have found this to NOT be a VIPER related issue. We contacted Microsoft directly and Microsoft has confirmed KB4074588 has known issues where some USB devices stop working. We recommend contacting Microsoft directly for any issues related to your USB Keyboard and Mouse no longer working. Their contact information can be found at ** or by calling 1-800-642-7676".

After trying to get answers and compensation over the phone, I had to drive to the Microsoft store and talk to a manager. He said they were aware of the issue that was happening "on older PC's". I showed him proof of my repair bills, and the receipts that showed my PC was only 9 months old. I am a senior living on Social Security with limited income and thought they might at least pay me out of pocket expenses. The manager came back with $100 in Microsoft gift certificates and said he would escalate my issue to corporate but could promise nothing. After getting home, I looked at what was available at the MS store. Nothing there was of interest to me. Follow-up calls just led to more frustration. I was given lip service and promises of return calls that never came. As big as this company is, you would think they could afford to at least cover the damages they caused.

dear....,
We have researched this issue internally and have found this to NOT be a VIPER related issue. We contacted Microsoft directly and Microsoft has confirmed KB4074588 has known issues where some USB devices stop working.

Follow-up calls just led to more frustration.

Don't install any update without doing researches about it and making sure that this update won't damage your device.

This spammer seems to show a lot of patience and that he/she has a lot of time on their hands. The email exposes two email addresses. shb1@mta.ca which is coming from Mount Allison University in New Brunswick, Canada. The other email address is icmcmullen@mta.ca, which is also from the same University but from a student/ alumnai, who looks like this...

Season’s Greetings,

I’m Shannon, there is something important and urgent that i would like us to talk about.

Please get back to me ASAP

Some emails lure you into clicking on a phishing form. This one is luring you into a correspondence. Ian with the long beard has also said in the email that he is actually Shannon. Meeting strangers is a nice experience but meeting strangers via unsolicited email is not correct.

I used to have a credit card from Scotiabank about 10 years ago. So an email like this was surprising. The email is coming from the cash machines provider/ interac.ca and the content of the email is nothing but spam and phishing attempts.

While surfing on Facebook, a friend of yours messages you and after exchanging pleasantries, about health, family, work, etc, they bring up a topic about new and easy ways of making money. The offers seem real and tempting where you learn that you might get even up to $50,000.00, in the first attempt. You are eager to learn and you keep chatting with them until they are able to persuade you to click a link that will scam you out of your earnings!
Surprising, you might know that the person you have been chatting with is not your friend but a scammer who has copied your friend's Facebook page to look real. They have also been able to copy the list of friends to try and get money out of all of you.

Always protect your Facebook account details, list of friends and who can view your news posts. This does not prevent you from enjoying the features on Facebook in any way. However, it makes it possible for you to feel more secure and for your friends to avoid worrying that when you talk to them, it might be a scammer, with an account like your, trying to cheat them of their money. When you suspect that your friends account has been impersonated, letting them know and reporting the matter to Facebook administrators will save a lot.

I am never using Paypal again. They market their company by saying that "we got you covered", users beware, this is a bold lie! I personally learnt that I was not covered. I bought an item on eBay, checked out the payment with PayPal. However, I received a defective product and when I requested PayPal to kindly issue me with a refund, they refused.

The item return time was still valid, however, in their claims to deny the refund, Paypal insisted on providing all sorts of excuses in order to protect their profits.

If you pay more than $15-20, do not use Paypal, instead, use credit card processors. It is too much money to lose.

Bell Canada or (www.bell.ca) is a major telephone service provider in Canada.
"webmail.bell.net" is an internet based email service provided by Bell Canada to its subscribers.

The spammer is using an email address from the webmail from bell Canada (i.e bellcatoba20@bell.net) and posing to be an employee of Bell Canada offering a refund.

The spam/ phishing email received is as follows;

When your last payment of your bill, your credit card was charged twice for the settlement of your account (198.15 CAD$), to overcome this problem with our system we ask you to please follow the link below to restitution the amount debited accidentally.
Complete your refund
This message is generated automatically, do not reply to the sender Thank you for your trust.
Sincerely, we are sorry for this error..

In the above email a link is provided to process the refund and when you click, God knows what happens. Your hard drive is taken over, or wiped or something like that.

Isnt it Bell Canada's responsibility to monitor who is using their services/ name/ webmail to impersonate as Bell Canada and hurting innocent people.

None

A email offering refund and no details about the account which is being refunded is mostly fraudulent.

Airmiles has started a shady game, where customers' miles will start to expire soon, which was not the case before. Now customers are forced to spend their miles as they might expire suddenly (with effect from a back date/ date of purchase in the past) and the rewards on sale are really over-priced so that customers have no choice but to lose their miles. Also sometimes the low price rewards are hdden from the customers with lesser miles, so that they lose their miles with no choice available.

Just like all other big guns, deep pockets, and untouchables in this world, Airmiles is acting as if Airmiles has done a favor to the customers by giving them airmiles. Airmiles should think otherwise. Customers have done a favor to the Airmiles and certain brands/ manufacturers/ vendors/ companies by choosing them over others while making purchases. Customer could have used other loyalty based offers like cash backs and store rewards etc.

Airmiles says it offers a personalized experience where members' online access to products is streamlined according to their tastes. How do you know my taste. Who allowed you to ascertain my taste.

You are doomed, might as well throw that shady card in the garbage

Most Canadian banks do not allow international online money transfers, even if they do, they do not exceed a few hundred dollars. Instead of using illegal money transfer arrangements, I have a signed a verbal/ message agreement with the bank that if I send them a signed fax with the required details, they will transfer the money to any overseas account on my behalf. Its a signed and enforceable contract. The problem is every time I send the fax, I have to wait for months to get the money transferred because the verbal/message agreement was found missing from the banks files. I have to send my copy to the bank every time. I do not understand how can a bank not keep signed documents safe and lose them conveniently. To me it seems that banks or bank employees do it just to keep the money in a buffer and take personal advantage from it.

I am attaching a new verbal agreement if you can sign this and mail the original back to me. Also email me a signed copy for now. I was unable to locate the verbal agreement on file left with Harris so will need a new one. Please let me know if any concerns.

Recently I made a payment to one of my clients but I happened to type the details wrong concerning the Paypal account for the specific client. Hence, the transaction was marked Cancelled on my PayPal Account. I realized this and repeated the transaction to the correct Paypal account of my client.

To my surprise, both transactions went through, the canceled payment as well as the actual payment the same day!
This resulted in a double payment to my account hence causing an overdraft to my credit card.

I contacted PayPal and they assured me that the canceled amount would be later credited to my account but it would take a couple of days.
Unlike most modern online payment systems, PayPal does not have edits on their system to flag an error for inaccurate transactions. In addition, they refuse to accept any financial responsibility.

Use Paypal at your own risk, they always run away from their financial responsibilities

I am hosting a website with internic.ca for the last 10 years. Lats year my credit card expired and the renewal of my domain with internic.ca became a nightmare to the point that I had to register a new domain name with godaddy. Internic.ca uses a one dollar transaction to check if the user is for real. Banks dont like such stupid transactions and block credit cards. And so my credit card was blocked, because internic.ca kept attempting the one dollar verification. Instead of streamlining their processes, internic.ca kept asking me to contact my bank to accept the strange procedure. Not only my credit card got blocked, illegal transactions happened worth 3000 dollars just in those two days I was trying to pay to internic.ca. It seems internic.ca has people in their offices selling credit card numbers to culprits.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Internic.ca. We are pleased to assist you with your inquiry.

I removed the hold on the account as a one time courtesy. If the credit card you are trying to place on file is a debit or prepaid credit card then the system will not accept it. It only accepts regular issued bank credit cards.

If the card is a regular issued credit card, then the bank my be blocking a pre-authorization which we do for $1 to validate the credit card. This $1 will return back to your credit card account and it is not a charge.

If this is the case, contact your bank and alert them of what you are trying to achieve in order to approve the pre-authorization to place the card on file.

Should you have any additional inquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,

James
