    Phone phishing with Windows ID


    Microsoft doesn't seem to want to hear reports of a possible breach, so I'm hoping someone here can forward it to the right people.I got the standard phishing call tonight telling me that my computer was sending malicious emails. The new trick was that the caller knew my name and address. He also really wanted to give me my Windows key.Perhaps this is just new to me, but having my name, address and, possibly, my Windows key is concerning. I didn't go as far as the Windows key, but the person could not tell me my ISP, my email provider outside the US or even my IP address. He went so far as t

    Phone phishing with Windows ID

    Supported phones for Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview Mobile

    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.
