    Microsoft subscription renewal?

    =

    No. Definitely not.

    That's a scam.

    Microsoft will never call you out of the blue.

    Only if you have previously contacted the official Microsoft Support, they might call you.

    Next time you receive such a call: Just hang up!

    Hi, ! just an email from Microsoft about an invoice for Windows defender subscription for 399.99. Is a scam or legit. I do not want this charge if it is legit. Thank you for your time.
