    I just received an identical email, but the price they quoted was $299.99.

    The email contained numerous spelling and grammatical errors. I have no plans to contact them.

  • April 21, 2021 at 9:00 AM by an anonymous user from: Burlington, Mt Laurel, New Jersey, United States

    I just got this email and I suspected it was a scam. The number they gave me to call was 833 691 0800. So I called them to see what their pitch was. Sure enough, they ask me to type in a website to give them access to my computer. I told them my antivirus program was alerting me to a possible scam (it wasn't, but I wanted to hear their response). They pretended to be surprised and assured me they were legit and to disable my antivirus program temporarily. I was polite and hung up.

I put it into my scam notification and checked to make sure they had not charged me somehow. how do these people get away with this when we provide information and knowing that there is someone trying to scam us?

    I received this also. When I called the number, I was told the mailbox was full and basically told goodbye. I decided to ask Google about Microsoft Payments Private Limited, and came across this site telling me it was a scam. I am so appreciative for the valuable information. I was lucky in that no one answered my call or I may have allowed something bad to happen.

    Recorded message that $399 will be auto-deducted from my banking account within 24 hours for a subscription...

    TOTAL SCAM!

    But i have had some fun with these idiots.

    I called back, several times, and each time got different results. Each time i am asked how they may help me.

    I have replied different ways...

    a) I received a message about a subscription for $399, am angry and want it cancelled.

    b) i want to renew!

    c) act like i have no idea about PCs, please help

    d) ask them for last night's Lottery numbers

    Except for d), they all said it was for anti-virus software that I have purchased (no one gave me the same date, but it was in 2018...) and it is expiring today. Note that I have called them repeatedly for a week and it still is expiring that day...

    Eventually they guide me to go to this site www.bit.do/microsoftah

    I do not know where that goes, but i never tried it.

    They kept asking me if that started something to download! That right there was the final clue.

    The fact that they want me to go to 'Microsoft' site for anti-virus software and that it wasn't www.microsoft.com... another 'no-way' for me.

    A couple of times i grilled them about what software it was that I am renewing. They only replied in vague answers. One time he replied it was for Windows Defender! To which i replied, 'Oh really, like the one that is free to download from Microsoft?' ... He hung up.

    So if you see this post, please call them and have some fun! Tell you friends so they to can practice handling phone scammers!

    Keep asking them stupid questions or ask repeatedly which service this renewal is for.

    If not for fun, at least to take away time from them to be successful with someone else...

The call number to cancel or claim you did not make this purchase is 1-888-333-2636/ Then is goes on to say you have 24 hours to call to clear up so you wont be charged.. I looked up and seen that this is a scam, I am asking because the phone number is different to call then the email posted here. Is that normal for scammers to do the changing of phone numbers?

    My received an email stating that our subscription to Windows Defender Firewall has been auto renewed @ $199.00 and updated. We have no subscription and our Win 10 has it automatically and free. They also state that if we think this is an unauthorized transaction to call them @ 1-833-925-1250. Signed Ron Sully.
