Windows 10: I got an email from so called Microsoft-care.com that said I'd been charged 499.95 for...

I got what I think is a scam from so-called Microsoft-cares, saying I'd been charged 499.95 to renew Windows Defender. I'll call my bank and check my account to be on the safe side.


I don't think I ever could have had Windows Defender and I definitely didn't ask for it to be renewed. I don't use Windows though

I have Microsoft Office on my Mac.


Has this happened to others? I hope Microsoft will investigate and stop it.

Not Charging beyond 95%

Well, my battery life has been ok, lasts me the day with 3g and usage from time to time.



Whatsapp burns it though. My issue is however that my battery charging level is refusing to go above 95%.



Im gonna try and drain the battery and recharge again, but any suggestions?
