    How do I contact Microsoft to report a scam?


    I just got 3 emails that I am trying to sign-in, one from Indonesia, the other is from Saudi Arabia and I don't even know when the 3rd one is. How do I contact Microsoft Fraud department to tell them to check these IP addresses.

    :)

    Where may I report a Microsoft Scam phone call

    Read this Microsoft Information:

    • Microsoft Tech Support
    • Microsoft Support
    • Windows Technical Department Support Group
