844-649-1648

This is the message I received...it is a scam
Hello, my name is Cassie Jackson. I am calling you from Microsoft refunds apartment. Please do not hang up. You have paid for your computer technical support few months ago. We are calling to refund your money as a company has been ordered to close down. Please call us on our toll free number 8446491648.

It is a CROOK calling - NOT Microsoft.  This is an attempt to get them remote access to your commuter so they can plant malware.  There is NO refund.

Did not recognize number; did not answer it. Called around 1:30 p.m. Eastern, which was two hours ago.

Had exact same cold just now at 10 AM, September 5, 2019

CAlled me cell, left message about getting send a refund. OBV scam.

They just called me with this exact message.

It's a scam recording letting me know that I'm getting a refund and to call back at this number 844-649-1648. SCAM !!!!!

Got the "has been ordered to shut down, call for refund" message

Left a message repeating the number twice.

Bad recording saying that some tech support company wanted to give me a refund.  I’ve never paid anyone for tech support, so I know that no company owes me a refund.  I’m sure this is a scam to try to put ransomware on my computer.

I didn't answer the call, they left a voice message saying they want to refund me, and repeated the number twice. The recording was not complete, I didn't even hear what company. Obviously a scam.

Left a message repeating the number twice.

I didn't recognize the number, so I didn't answer. A  message repeating the number twice was left. It's been some time since I've been annoyed with calls. Hope this isn't the start of something new.

This is annoying, they call me all the time. Not sure how they got a hold of my home number, but they did. They'll call me on my mobile, if I don't answer, they'll call me on my home and wake-up me up. This is ridiclous!

It is! They call my mobile, first, when i don't answer, then they'll call my home (not sure how they got my home number), all hours of night, and early morning, in waking me up. It's unreal!

Called me from two different numbers an hour apart. Blocked both numbers, Idiots

Warning! This is a Tech Support Scam number!

Listen to message

Never allow anyone  Remote Access unless you contacted them first! Scammers can lock you out and hold your computer ransom with Syskey (Microsoft SAM Lock Tool).

Help spread the word and prevent someone from becoming a victim.

Fact:

• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your computer called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your online server called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• Windows Operating System licenses do not expire.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you with a message about your computer having illegal activity, is a SCAMMER.
• Apple will never, ever call you about alleged suspicious iCloud activity.
• ANY Tech Support Warning pop-ups you get while accessing the internet asking you to call a number or visit a website, is from a SCAMMER.
• Web Browsers DO NOT have the ability to determine and warn you your computer has an error. They can only warn you about a potential malicious website. A Browser is software that allows you to surf the Internet, not diagnose a computer or phone.
• ANY Tech Support company that insists you need their services because of some error, outdated software or tries to convince you that you need to allow them remote access is a SCAMMER.
• Nobody could possibly know if your computer or devices have an issue unless you tell them or gave them access.
• Tech Support companies DO NOT call or email to give out refunds because they are "going out of business", or to "cancel a subscription".  Companies DO NOT give refunds unless they have to.
• Companies DO NOT call to inform you that your subscription will be charged if you don't call back, only SCAMMERS do that. If you have a subscription with someone, they automatically charge you until you cancel it and they don't give a refund.
• Only a Scammer would want Remote Access to give a Refund.
• 3rd party Tech services DO NOT include Email account repairing or password resetting, since they can not access the email server unless it belongs to them.

Never trust a caller who wants to "help your computer" for any reason (unless you contacted them first), as they are only going to scam you. If you need Tech Support, you should contact a reputable local service.

These ppl whoever they are need to go out and get a real job seriously didnt hear anything but the phone number repeating

Received same call.

Spam. Cassie Johnson about the refund from Microsoft. It is spam.
