How do I report SCAM to Microsoft?

There does not appear to be any way to stop the Microsoft scam calls. I have been receiving them for over six or seven years. The first time, I hung up on the caller from "Windows", who was not even aware that this was a Microsoft product, five times and the idiot called back nine more times on the same day.

I have been on the "Do Not Call Registry" since its inception and all this service seems to accomplish is to increase the number of scam calls I receive.

The fake Microsoft callers are becoming much more sophisticated but I cannot believe that anyone falls for their ridiculous calls.

If ANYONE has any idea how to make these calls stop, I would truly appreciate some advice. The latest one, which began yesterday, is a recorded message telling me that my Microsoft License has expired and that it is "URGENT" that I contact Microsoft immediately. Yesterday, the recorded message did not leave me a number to call. Today's recorded message stated I "must immediately call" 1-800-716-5818 to ensure that my internet access would not be terminated.

Does anyone have a clue as to how to make these calls stop? If so, please post the information on this site as these people are driving me nuts!!! 

Thank you for reading my rant, which actually made me feel a little bit better just by sharing with others who are obviously dealing with these same jerks!

The previous text is from me and I apologize to everyone who has been sucked in by these idiots for my comment about falling for their scams.

I also find it extremely offensive that Microsoft does absolutely NOTHING to support their customers in getting these scammers to STOP!!! Shame on them. One would think that they would have some concern as to what their customers are having to deal with simply by virtue of being a Microsoft customer.

Again, to everyone who read my message above, thank you for listening to my frustrated rant.

Scammers are calling and you expect Microsoft to stop the calls? 

Try the FCC.

Did you report this to Microsoft? Doesn't look like it.

Search for Microsoft scammers and you will find this.

You are wrong to say Microsoft does nothing.

I did attempt to report this to Microsoft and was told that there was nothing they could do. Nor could they advise me as to who, or how, to report the scam calls.

I certainly did not expect Microsoft to do anything to stop the scammer's calls. I simply contacted them to reconfirm my understanding that they never contact customers, which I already knew, and if they could advise me as to who this should be reported to. In the past, I have filed complaints with the FCC and even with the FBI. The FBI report also included information related to much more severe scam calls, especially those which were supposedly from the IRS and very threatening.

Your statement that Microsoft does nothing is absolutely not true. At least if you are looking for something a little more substantial than just a blog on which to add more notes of frustration. This includes the one you listed above, on which I have reported my concerns in the past a number of times.

I have contacted Microsoft multiple times with zero assistance or even the slightest interest or concern on their part. In the future, I will just ignore the calls and keep my frustration to myself.

I just checked the "blogs.microsoft.com" site again and it appears to have been updated with a great deal of new information, including a link to "www.microsoft.com/reportascam". I appreciate your providing the blog link information above and will make one more attempt to report my latest scam calls via the additional "reportascam" link.

It would really have been nice if the individual I spoke with at Microsoft, a miracle in itself, had been knowledgeable enough to know that there was an actual Microsoft site for customers to report and provide the documentation required to explain the calls they were receiving.
