Do Not Call 1(855)-499-5629 - it is a Fake Hotmail Support Telephone Number

1(855)-499-5629 is a fake "Hotmail Support Team" customer service telephone number. The fake support number is being used by cybercriminals to trick potential victims into calling it.

If the requested information is given to the cybercriminals, they will use it to gain access to their potential victims' account, hijack and use them fraudulently.
