Microsoft Refund Dept.

I also received a call from "Microsoft Refund Dept.". Since I didn't pick up they left a computer generated message stating her name as Kathy Jackson from tech support and to call 877 721  7434. for my refund. The reason I am posting this is I wanted to see if anyone else received such messages. Imagine my surprise when I realized the first comment about this subject was posted 2013!!! That was five years ago. Five years of people being scammed, losing money and whatever else. How could this still be happening without them being stopped? And the first one I saw was from the Netherlands, meaning this is an international scam.  AND it was on this site. Doesn't anyone at Microsoft oversee their own site?

    BEST THING TO DO IS NOT TO PAY ANY ATTENTION TO IT.

    i just received a phone call from this number 1-526-070-3700 11:52 Nov.23,2018

    microsoft has a $299.00 refund for me.

    when i left him on hold to check the web to see if it was a scam, it is.

    i did not give him any information about anything or my name.

    scammers don't like to be put on hold they will hang up on you,than you know it's a scam.

     easiest way to check is google it.

    Just got the same call. Told them I don't own a computer because they don't allow them in the institution.

    He asked isn't this a residential phone # and I told them no and he hung up. Problem solved!
