    I cannot submit a Microsoft Scam as their "Reporting a scam" function does not work.


    It is very frustrating and shameful, that I am wasting time to report a scam so that other people deosn't get tricked, and their only way to report a scam doesn't work. I tried at least 20 times, it keeps saying the submission failed without the reason. All mandatory fields are filled. Captcha done an immense amount of times, even audio and I am sure I am not failing that.

    :)

    Scam?

    No, that's not a Microsoft phone number.

    All these kind of pop-ups/alerts are fake warnings - scams. Never ever call these numbers.

    Please read:

    In case you keep on getting these fake alerts:

    Follow the steps provided here: Remove Tech Support Scam pop-up (Call For Support Scam)

    You might want to report this to Microsoft (but you don't have to):
