HELP!
I want to report a phonecall/scam I received - this one last night - supposedly from Microsoft. I want these crooks nailed to the wall. I can't figure out how to contact a human in the Microsoft empire to give the specifics I gleaned from my caller. Hopefully, a Microsoft personage will email me back as this is not my 1st scam by phone (my CELL PHONE!) or by EMAIL from India trying to get me to follow her 7 steps to clearing my laptop of a bunch of "vicious viruses". I got her name, phone number, web address, etc.
Please, Microsoft person,contact me so I can turn my notes over to you to follow up protecting your name & our safety as best as possible and "contend removed: please don't cures thank you"
THANK YOU!!

I didnt pay anything i just wanted to report a scam thanks
I received a phone call from 206-686-3678 stating that my microsoft license would be suspended today that i had to pay 299.00 right now to keep everything working
Hi,
That is not a Microsoft Phone Number. If you google it you will see.
Do not pay anything.
Microsoft does not make that kind of phone calls and Windows Licences do not expire. The only type of licence that expires if Office 365 and even if you let the licence expire Microsoft will never call you.

Unfortunately they have your number which you can block! They call and I ask them to send check to my physical address which stops them. They say they need to see the computer and again, if you owe me pay me with check. no bank touting number or check or card number to transfer. simple, pay by check!
Good buy and have a great day!
