    Microsoft license scam??


    I am receiving calls on my home phone from someone claiming to be Microsoft saying they are about to cancel my Microsoft license because parties from several countries have hacked my Microsoft account. As far as I know I don't have a Microsoft "license". Sounds like a scam.

    :)

    Microsoft License Scam??

    Yes that's definitely a scam.

    Windows will never call you and warn you about your license expiring.

    I suggest blocking the number immediately that calls you.
