How do I report SCAM to Microsoft?

Same here big red screen with a loud alarm saying this is Microsoft and your computer has been compromised and do not turn off your computer. I unplug everything and shut down its not Dell they are using a dell # I guess maybe spoofing, phishing as these folks removed my virus protection my fault as the 1st time I thought it was for real what the heck was I thinking? Not with my head that's for sure.  Receiving 3 calls weekly for over 3 months and wondering when the heck is Microsoft going to at lease do or try to catch these crooks.  the caller id  say 800 service 877 218 1087 many complaints even from FCC. Oh well I wish I knew what to do besides maybe calling to see if I can change my ip address that will not work. Its harassment. 3 calls weekly. Ok time to continue to file a complaint as I cannot find a phone # for microsoft only a virtual agent that keeps telling me he or she is in training its only been 3 months and still in training what a waste of time. Oh my head getting a headache just talking about this mess. Good luck seems like no help for users anywhere so frustrated

HI and thanks Roberta...what good is MICROSOFT ...if you cannot reach them when 'scammers are using their name and ID....I did not get any response from MICROSOFT...and can't seem to reach them with my complaint or even sign in ...MAKE A COMPLAINT AT MICROSOFT IS A "BAD JOKE "

But thanks for sharing your frustrations along with mine ...lol

If someone was impersonating you would it be your fault?

Microsoft collects scammers data that you report and refers cases as appropriate to law enforcement. Microsoft is not law enforcement.

How do i report a scam

No need to report to Microsoft (they can't do anything about it). Report it to the Police instead.

if microsoft cant or wont do anything then why do they issue requests to stop to some of them?namely 3 that i reported last yr and this yr,and why does microsoft want anyone to report it to them as i have done repeatedly thru microsoft website?

i reported 1 today that i found embedded into a site that claims to be microsoft tech support site and even has numbers to call,i went thru the trouble of contacting the domain,domain registrar,microsoft,even got the info to submit to microsoft for the domain,domain owners,domain registrars,associated domains and the scam code thats embedded into the website.i dont give them access to my pc or credit card info ever.i gather all this info because i was asked if i can get more info on them to help catch them.the police wont do anything unless microsoft asks them to so where is the effort to stop this problem?

the scam i have been chasing is 1 thats been going on for yrs and microsoft has already issued an order for them to stop.i emailed the site owners,domain owners and even google because they use a gmail account for contacting them.i have all the information including screenshots.

3 hrs later this eve,they called me at home at 830pm central time,it was an american male voice and he tried to tell me that he is an outside company that represents microsoft tech support,i told him i was submitting the info to microsoft again and that i had contacted the domain owners and have copied the code for the scam,he couldnt hangup fast enough!! these scammers already know who i am and that i have been trying to get their specific info for the last yr and a half to turn in as requested by microsoft personel(real microsoft).

i knew it was a scam simply because it was a full page popup that said my windows system was infected and had been locked AND I WASNT EVEN USING WINDOWS-i was running linux on my tri boot machine at the time.but i have encountered them many times in my windows10 insider installation,if the phone numbers they provide dont match any of the phone numbers i have for microsoft in my phone book i know its fake.but sometimes i do play along just to gather more info on them so my reporting will be more accurate and complete.i never give access to my pc or credit card info,but i will tell them who i am or even give a email addy so i can get their ip addresses if they email me which usually dont happen after they find out my name.
