    suspect fake support number/scammer


    I received an email from "On Line Store"<*** Email address is removed for privacy ***>

    they indicated I ordered a microsoft surface book 3 for $1600 that was being shipped to an address in Cupertino CA

    I did not order the item

    The "windows support" number for billing questions, etc is

    CALL WINDOWS SUPPORT at +1- 800-791-5636

    Monday - Sunday 9 a.m. - 9 p.m PST


    Is this a fake number. Is this likely a scam?

    :)

    scammers fake support

    Hi thomaspitts1,

    please explain the issue in more detail.

    microsoft will not phone you to tell you that you need support

    Microsoft will not email you to tell you that you need support

    Microsoft will not hijack your browser with a page telling you that you need support.

    Microsoft will not post phone numbers in the forum suggesting you call

    If you have seen any of those then your title is correct they are scammers.
