  1. phone calls about MICROSOFT closing


    I keep receiving calls from someone saying that my MS account is expiring and they are going to deduct 499.00 from my bank account or if I open my bank account they will refund my initial 299.95 by transferring from a CHASE account to my bank account. I refused to do this and the man kept saying it all legitimate. I refused to do this and he told me to f... off and hung up. Then he called back 3-5 times. My bank said it sounds like a scam and not to do it. Has this happened to others.

    :)

    Another phone call scam pretending to be Microsoft

    A thread was posted on another forum I frequent about a phone call scam where they claim to be Microsoft and ask you install some things to repair the security breach they've detected.

    Thought id post the number used here to make you guys n gals aware in case you get a phone call.

    number is : 0203 286 9239
    Apparently the lad who started the thread Googled it and its a 'Cost Trap'.

    Thread is here (I realise it's against the rules but due to its nature thought it might be helpful. Pm me if not and ill remove it.) :

    Just had a phone call....... - Renault Forums :: Independent Renault forum

    So yea, Heads up.

    Shame we don't have some form of list of all these numbers, I bet people on here get it quite often.

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview


    Your list confirms my phone is eligible, Lumia 521. The windows Insider App fails after ~ 15 seconds, restores data and gives me error 80073cf9. I trouble shot this and went thru all the steps mentioned on several websites including MS without any luck. Short of a hard reset, this is where I am now. Suggestions appreciated.
