they say Microsoft is closing, what a joke, then when I star 69 the guy got mad.

Recorded call, wanted me to call back for refund... sounds like others on here.  😞

Rec'd the same message.  They use multiple #s

whitepages.com  Scam or Fraud

They're ba-a-a-ck! You can tell it's Monday from all the spam/scam calls today.

Just got the recorded call. They claim to be wanting to make a refund since the company has gone out of business.  They are looking for personal information like: you name, address, account numbers (supposedly to return the refund), etc. Do not  call this number at all.

They just called and I didn’t answer. Left a message they didn’t say why they called just call the number back. After the reviews i’m just blocked. Thanks

Same scam as above.

I also received a call from this number but fortunately it was blocked after the first ring by my blocking  service. They have designated it as a scam Robo caller, marked severe call activity, last blocked February 13 and do not answer. I also googled the number on its own and there was the verbal and written transcript of the call from said blocking svc. I clicked on the verbal in order to listen to it and it was a very monotone sounding female giving her spiel concerning the Microsoft refund. Do not answer this call nor call it back if it leaves a voicemail.

Calls a lot. "You have paid for your computer technical support few months ago. We are calling to refund your money as the company has been ordered to close down. Please call us on our toll free no. 1-888-402-9182. Repeating again 1-888-402-9182. Thank you." This is pure BS and is a nefarious SCAM!!

Yep. They want you to give them a credit card number, expiration and CVC. HA!

Robocall - I only got as far as "my name is Cathy Johnson"  click. How many people could they possibly get to 1) listen to the whole robocall and 2) actually call them back?

Damn ! I really wanted my refund, but I wanted their sister or mother to deliver it to me in a bikini. THEY HUNG UP ON ME!!!! Will keep trying

I asked them if I paid before or after they send their mother and sister over. I was told to F my mother. After explaining to them, that isn't how it works, that in fact it's their mother or sister...they hung up! The nerve of these people

Scammers. Fake Microsoft refund.

Called our medical office saying this was MS, with strong accent from India.  This is a SCAM caller.

Listen to message

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

Fact:

• ANYONE who calls you and says your computer called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• Windows Operating System licenses do not expire.
• ANYONE who calls you and leaves a robo message about your computer is a SCAMMER.
• 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 to give out refunds because they are "going out of business". In fact NO company gives refunds when going out of business unless they did not provide you with what you paid for.
• 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.
• 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.

Same crap call just now.

Received the same call as everyone else.  Since I never answer my phone when I don't know who is calling they left a message to call them back and I am due a refund.
