Microsoft 365 features that help users manage their subscriptions, account settings, and billing information.
- Do not post card numbers, phone numbers, or other personal details in a public forum.
- If these charges do not appear in Microsoft account order history or under Manage your payments, the card may have been used on a different account. Use the Investigate option on the Manage your payments page of the Microsoft account dashboard.
- Check for common causes of unexpected Microsoft charges:
- recurring billing on a subscription
- a family member using the card
- a previously declined charge being retried
- a pre-order or split order shipping
- an in-app purchase
- If the charges still cannot be matched to any Microsoft account, contact the bank or card issuer immediately and report the card as compromised. Disputing only the charges may not stop future fraudulent charges. Request that the bank investigate and, if needed, block and replace the card.
- If fraudulent transactions are confirmed, report them promptly. The guidance states that if someone has acquired the payment information, the bank or payment provider should be contacted to prevent more charges.
- For Microsoft assistance, use Contact Support and enter the billing problem, then select Get Help and Contact Support.
