Is it a guy with an Indian accent who called you and said your computer has a virus and he needs access...and your credit card numbers? He called me and I explained that he cannot be from Microsoft support for I have a Linux desktop.
DC Tom Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 Is it a guy with an Indian accent who called you and said your computer has a virus and he needs access...and your credit card numbers? It's loads of fun to string them along. My sister-in-law used to panic when she got those calls. Now she just hands the phone to me and watches, and laughs her ass off. It's dealing with Microsoft support. I'm sure Lord Satan himself runs the department. Clearly you've never dealt with Verizon.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 8, 2016 Author Posted December 8, 2016 No, it's ACTUALLY microsoft. I had a customer's surface pro brick itself via BitLocker. Apparently, it's installed by default on version 3 and up. Who knew?

Apparently, it's installed by default on version 3 and up. Who knew? Surface Pro 3 comes with BitLocker enabled by default? I don't think so. I have one, with no Bitlocker. Previous Surface versions did, apparently, and sucked. Might want to double-check the version. But if it's a Pro 3, I tend to doubt the machine bricked itself. More likely PEBCAK.
Mike in Horseheads Posted December 8, 2016 Posted December 8, 2016 ... we live in it every football season. Much colder than I was taught though.

I have; I worked for them, had job moved to India with instructions given to remaining staff not to let customers know this, had Verizon service contract cancelled with them attempting to sell me contract more than twice previous rate and cancelled. Then my wife signs back up because the alternate, Cox, is so bad. I refused to put my name on contract but it is still feels like I made a deal with the Devil.

sullim4 Posted December 10, 2016 Posted December 10, 2016 I work at Microsoft, specifically as a software engineer on Access. If you ever have issues with Office, feel free to give me a shout. I'm not familiar with BitLocker unfortunately.
