Yes, I got one of those from Protivin, IA. I guess I shouldn't even bother Calling right?
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?

11/20/18 I received the same call from Kathy Jackson "Microsoft Refund Dept: 8443868577 it was an automated recording claiming the Department is closing and to call to get my refund. i never call or respond from any phone call or mail since all of them are scams. If anyone gets a letter or phone call, research for the actual phone number of the company and let them know of the scam.

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