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?

    I'm also getting these calls very annoying I always suspected it was a scam mainly because how could they refund me for something I never paid for I just decided to Google online to see if anyone else was getting such calls or if there was something about this and I found this This so sad because it will be the elderly that will fall for this breaks my heart

    I am still receiving these calls and every time I report them. I believe if everyone reports them, it will show how prolific these scammers are. I implore everyone to do the same. This is the site that should be used  https://complaints.donotcall.gov/complaint/complaintcheck.aspx

    I believe this is also a scam.

    He insisted he was from Windows.
