Scaring people about storage limits, while microsoft provides unlimited storage for hotmail.

If you write the website on your browser, a shocking red screen comes up, marked as dangerous and with the following msg.

Deceptive site ahead
Attackers on surya-kencana.com may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing your personal information (for example, passwords, phone numbers, or credit cards).

This is a typical phishing email, using Microsoft logo and deceiving hyperlinks.

I have been very upset that my iPhone 6 has slowed down a great deal. My battery was tested and it showed it to be healthy. Think Apple has done this so that it will force you to buy an iPhone 8 or an iPhone X. I do not buy their excuse the new software does not run on the older phones. My iPhone was running perfectly until they slowed it down through a software update and this was originally done without the customer's knowledge. I also learned for the first time today that when Apple does a screen share on your computer they record your computer. As a customer, I don't like the fact you are forced to have your computer recorded if you need to screen share with a tech agent. I don't think any customer wants their computer information recorded. There is no telling what Apple will do with that information. We saw the problems with what Facebook did with their members' information.

Hello....,
we apologize for this problem and we will try to fix it as soon as possible. please try to install the latest ios update? (I did that and the phone became even slower)

Apple is trying to make the old iPhones like iphone6 and iphone7 become slow to force you to buy iPhone x and 10. Don't install any software update if you have iPhone 6 or 7.

There was a time when I thought checking the headers of emails that looked like spam would give me enough information and keep me safe from fraudsters. This has changed. I am receiving emails from actual domain names of companies like Amazon and Paypal. People are receiving calls from customer service caller IDs of well known companies. Either fraudsters are becoming too smart or the companies are becoming too fixated on increasing their profits that they have stopped concentrating on probable loopholes in their systems.

The screenshot attached shows that the email is coming from Amazon and the proposed link (from the text of fake order no 192-773-7646) in the body of the email will take you to some other website to complete its heinous fraud.

I tried to find if Dean Clark was a writer. I found a few University professors by this name. There have been a few more prominent Dean Clarks.

1. Dean Clark was the voice of Berlioz in the Cartoon Movie "AristoCats" from 1970.
2. Dean Clark is a former ice hockey defenceman and head coach of the Prince George Cougars. Clark is also the former head coach of the Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League.
3. Dean Clark (born 31 March 1980) is a retired footballer. He was originally a professional who made a handful of appearances for Brentford and then went on to play for a variety of teams local to north and west London, including making over one hundred appearances for Northwood.
4. Dean Clark (born 6 January 1968) is a New Zealand rugby league coach and former footballer who represented his country between 1989 and 1992.

So even though the email is not intended to be sent to me by amazon.com, I believe Amazon.com owes me a duty of care to secure its IT assets so that people do not use their domain names to send fraudster emails.

Dear Customer,

Your order has been successfully canceled. For your reference, here's a summary of your order:

I must say the spam sometimes is blissful, as one ends up doing some research to get to the bottom of it and learns so many new things. "Be careful" is the key word. There are no free lunches. Nothing happens on its own. If you didnt order anything it will not arrive out of the blue. If you did not buy a lottery ticket, you will not win millions. If you dont know any one in Nigeria, no one will contact you to share their millions.

Since the start of cloud computing, more and more big guns have found a way of eliminating customer service contacts from their websites. You better have a problem that everyone else has. If your problem is not available on discussion forums, you are out of luck. The chat robot will ask you for your problem in detail and then his artificial intelligence with choose some links from the discussion form and throw back at you. As I said, you should hope that your problem already exists and solutions are posted by someone for the exact same scenario. Microsoft thinks that no new scenario can exist.

Every year for some reason I have to wash my computer. Format the hard drive and install windows again. Get it authenticated. Since I believe in the ethics and morals of effort and reward, I buy all my software, instead of downloading from torrents. And when I have a problem I have to waste days and days finding a solution, cause there is no place where I can just call and get help.

And that's why I have downloaded OPENOFFICE and deleted Microsoft office from my system. Openoffice is free, open source, and it works fine.

At least, if there is no customer service, I have no one to blame, I am already getting it for free.

The chat robot, kept directing me to discussion forums, instead of providing a solution specific to my problem.

Install APACHE OPENOFFICE from http://www.openoffice.org/download/
