Well, once again Microsoft has succeeded in making ### of themselves. I am referring to the new Windows 10 upgrade. They already managed to assinine themselves with Windows Vista, but that wasn't good enough for them. Windows 10 is slow, too confusing, took way too long to install, and not worth the dynamite to blow 10 and Vista to the planet Pluto. Fortunately, a restore point is made for you before the upgrade starts, m so you can roll back to Windows 7 or Windows 8. As for me, I will stick to those. Thanks for nothing Microsoft. Signed, A Disgruntled Technician and Programmer.

Microsoft discontinued the Zune. All of us are upset and think these ### should reciprocate. Now we in a recession have to buy the Xbox at 500.00 a pop and the zune customers did not get any discounts tward the units. Angry with Microsoft for this complete money hungry company that screwed all zune customers. I myself will move on from this company in every way! Not that they give a Crap but they have lost alll respect! Chris cmtbs@email.com

If you notice, all their contact details, especially the email address are obvious fakes - if they are going to yahoo mail, hotmail, etc and not direct to a business address, it is almost guaranteed a fake, if they require you to provide personal details - another sign of a fake, if you haven't entered a competition - another likely fake, almost all of these have bad spelling and grammar errors . . another sign, if they sound like they are trying to name drop - another sign of a fake, if they don't provide a phone number local to your country - another sign of a fake. . .etc. . . People need to be more awake and stop thinking they will get something for nothing! And one last thing as I flick through most of these submissions .. . . "Dear Sir/Madam, Dear Winner, Dear "anything other than your full name" ". If they don't know who you are they aren't going to give you millions of dollars!

Anyways, I'm supposed to be working - as I haven't won 10, 000, 000 Euros in the latest Microsoft Jackpot for endangered furry animals with big ears and sharp claws, I must work for my money.

Dell promo held on the 1st March 2011 you won US$1, 000, 000.00 To claim contact dellpromo088@yahoo.co.id i got htis message today, could you please check to see if it is spam from this address Debbi Maria [info@dell.co.id], my e-mail address is marcus.bhana@mondigroup.co.za

it's me who win but i don't know how to believe some thing like that...

My email received a similiar one, but the location indicates, without a doubt that this is a scam. Thank you for submitting yours and you Microsaoft for your support.

yes I have been receiving thousands of the same sorts of letter from many sources saying from nokia, uk lotto, europe lotto, so and so.
receiving that kind of junk mails are so annoying. One time, I tried to call the number that mention in the letter. A guy answered and told me that ' so, you received the email?' I said, yes. and he said you need to send me £ 500 for the courier charges. then i know that that was a scam. I am thinking of reporting official about this scam. But I am not sure how far I should go. Tell me what you think please

Microsoft award promotion 2008

Well not only did only realise you have to pay a monthly fee to use the xboxlive so i registered my card for the monthly fee, then my son started to buy things for his "AVATAR" and spent £1000 of my money over 6 months! Non refundable, i am now in so much debt, i could lose my house!

Xbox live Customer support is shocking, my account was corrupt so i phoned xbox and they said it was my connection at first, so i phoned my internet provdider and they said my connection was fine, that same day i was told by a differnt person that 1 of the xbl servers was down and it would be fixed within 2 days, 2 days laiter i could still not recover my gamertag so i phoned them up and they said it will be escalated further as they think it is corrupt and that it could take between 3-5 days to sort out and they would phone me if they had sorted it out, 5 days later, no phone calls, and i could still not recover my gamertag, so i phoned again and a differnt technichian said they could still not work out why its not working and said it could take another 2 weeks to sort out, to be honest i dont care about the account any more, i just want a refund of over 8000 microsoft points that i had on the account and my membership refunded, i just think xbox is rubbish when something goes wrong, and yet there are no ways to put a formal compllaint in you cant ring and complian, cant post complaints on xbox.com, so i dont no what to do now.

Yeah, these guys are worse than the Wall Street bandits! Did the same to us even though we had a 13 month prepaid credit they billed the already canceled credit card...since the transaction failed they interrupted service until they could get a credit card to bill for another 12 months making a total of 25 months. The Customer service person actually tried to say that the prepaid and credit card were two different kinds of money...and I guess up is d0wn, black is white, the sky is water...

Exactly what I am going through. I told my son, "Never again". I'm online looking up a place to file a complaint. Better Business Bureau? Microsoft, you should be ashamed of your practices. Sickening. Anyone who works there as a "customer service representative" should seriously hang their heads in shame. How can you go to work everyday knowing what you are doing to your fellow man? The sickest part is that children ask parents to sign up for this crap and then the parents can't drop it without a major hassle. I had to cancel my debit card to end this nightmare.It doesn't stop there, though. Now I must inform all my automatic bill payment accounts that I have new account numbers before they try to deduct payments from my old number. NEVER AGAIN. BELIEVE IT.

Microsoft systematically uses these tactics to raise income. I canceled my sons xbox acct on sep 20, 2008 after 49 minutes on the phone. I was told he had two more days to play though already paid. (he did not play though) The rep said I would not be billed again. An independent customer service rep called on sept 26 to see how the service was. I told them it took 49 min to cancel this and service was extremely poor. The independent rep said she would put us at the top of a priority list and we would be recieving a cal on the 29 (no call) Lo and behold got my the credit card bill today and they billed for another month of service on Sept 22. Spent another 32 minutes on the phone tonight and was told the bill was retroactive for the previous month. HUH. My son only signed up for one month and it took us awhile to figure out they began charging us every month. Its not about the few dollars to me but the principal. Microsoft are thieves. This is ripe for a class action lawsuit. It is easy to deny someone over the phone for $7.99 and know that they want spend the effort to right the wrong for this amt. I will call my credit card tomorrow to block future charges.

I can soooo relate to this. This is exactly what happened to me the other day.

This is the worst support I've ever come across. I too cancelled my son's x-box live from my M/C, to only find out they continued to deduct money from M/C for next 3 months.

I contacted them again and explained that they should refund me the last 3 months subscription fees because I did the right thing and had already cancelled previously, they said they could not do this and could not provide me with logical reason as to why, they just kept speaking their stupid programmed replies.

I did demand to speak to their supervisor - I was left on hold for 20 mins before I spoke to him to only get the same response.

This was my money how can they get away with this?

My minor son had his account banned because of cheating. I have asked the enforcement team to give minor's a second chance and they are rude with their answers. I am going back and forth to the point I am looking to contact Microsoft Corp to file a complaint. Have you reached any resolution to your problem?

Hi, you might not read this, but my xbox 360 slim isnt working right and i want to bring it to Fry's for a refund. I have the 2 year warranty, do i need the reciept?

I'm getting this.I'm not beleive in fake lottery.But it is from MS.Is it also fake?

I also received such e-mails and unfortunately sent out my personal data. At this point I pray it is not a scam.

I received the same mail in Belgium with the same numbers and I think it is a fraud.
Let me know if you agreed with me.

Is microsoft conducting any lottery to fight against poverty?

This is a scam that has been going on for over three years. IT IS NOT REAL!
There have been various subtle changes with each new scam, but believe
me they are all fraudulent. I know this after I received a similar email about
a year and a half ago. So did thousands of other people. Rather than get caught up in it, I investigated.Long story short, the news media and law enforcement got involved and it boiled down to Microsoft had nothing whatsoever to do with the emails and in fact knew nothing about them until
they began receiving hundreds of calls from hopeful participants. So once again, IT IS A FRAUD! TSHFCE, Sacramento, CA U.S.A.

the xbox 360 console is a shame, this multi million, or even billion pound company, cant even make a console with out defects, i have over 10 friends with 360's and they have all broken down more than 5 times, its worse now with the new games out, our consoles are always freezing, check wikipedia for the techinal problems and causes, one of the worst is the fact microsoft replaced a graphics chip with there own cheap one to save money, its gross negligence, and i suggest you, and all who this has happened to file a lawsuit, or contact trading standards

microsoft cant get away with this.

I am at this moment locked in dispute over a broken x box----sent away for repair and receive a message saying they wont do a repair as its been “tampered with” –ask for proof of this and they tell me to look under the front console at a seal? After 25minutes finally worked out how to remove the front console and sure enough the seal looks to be disturbed /not fitted correctly at manufacturers?

I know that neither myself or anyone in the household has done this so either

A it was like that when I bought from the store
Or
B it was done at the repair depot to get out of repairing it under warranty

As I say this is still under review and has left a bad taste in my mouth about ALL Microsoft products -----I don’t know what the final outcome of this will be but just seems to me that they are trying to shaft the little man who hasn’t the resources to take on these big corporations ----will certainly be thinking long and hard about future purchases of this brand

Been hacked and they took all of my points and Microsoft does nothing to stop this...It has been going on since JAN 2017...They are hacking threw FIFA 12...If you get his and all of your points are gone you have been hacked...If you want to buy something on LIVE just buy and use the points you need don't let points build up...Microsoft is doing nothing to stop this hack...I am getting a PS 3 and getting rid of the xbox...Microsoft will not refund my points so they can get lost...

I called to have my credit card removed from my account in October 2017 and was assured that this was done. Now I find a charge for a Zune Pass subscription that my boys signed up for without my knowledge using the same card that was supposed to be removed. The customer service rep. I spoke with tells me that the card is now removed (again) from the account and the recurring charge is removed. But the charge that already came through would not be reversed! Apparently MicroSoft can't get their service straight. I will tell everyone I know not to ever give out your financial information to MicroSoft because it will not be safe from charges even after you have removed it from their system. After spending 4 hours on the phone over 2 days and getting the run around. Being transferred from one dept. to another over and over again told that it's not my dept. you need to speak with you need to call this number or that person. For all of my trouble and wasted time I would at least expect the company to have the decency to refund the charge. The lady on the phone even went as far as to insinuate that I had put my credit card number back in to the xbox and agree to the Zune Pass on an Xbox 360 that I never play. I am completely disgusted and am seriously considering deleting our families xbox live account!

There has been many extra charges to my credit card for which is more than expected. I am not understanding how these charges occured. 11/15/10-$7.99; 11/12/10; $9.99; 11/8/10, $7.99; 10/14/10-$7.99; 10/13/10- $7.99; 9/27/10-$19.99; 9/27/10-$19.99; 9/15/10-$7.99; 9/13/10-$7.99. I think some our legitamate charges for use of service but others are not. I would like to discuss these charges.

I was kicked off of xbox because a kid thought it might be funny to pose as a xbox hack attacker. He also accused me of hacking into games for points. He said I was showing inappropriate pictures to under age children. I dont even have a camera on my xbox. why are people aloud to go on xbox and tell lies and then the other person gets kicked off for no reason?
I hope you people have a talk with this kid. Its not very funny when you get kicked off for no reason.

These are the two different gamer tags that this guy used when he sent me messages

These are the two referance #s that were given to me when I made the report about this incedent

I trust that this will be dealt with as soon as possible.

Background: Early in 2017 the Playstation online gaming network was hacked and out of service for several weeks; it was later reported over 70 million accounts had been compromised...including their credit card information. Because of the Playstation fiasco I made a note to remove my credit card number from the Xbox Live gaming network; I keep my credit card online with Xbox Live so my annual renewal is 'automatic'; also it makes buying new maps and such REALLY easy!

First inconvenience: You CAN ADD the credit card number to Xbox Live through the Xbox 360; you CANNOT REMOVE the credit card number the same way...you MUST call Xbox Live to do this.

Second inconvenience: I called and had my credit card number removed from Xbox Live; however, several months later I went to buy some new maps for Call of Duty and MY CREDIT CARD number popped up as one of the payment options!

Third inconvenience: I called Xbox Live again to remove my credit card number (they had no record of my previous call!). This time they said that, since I had 8 months left on my annual membership, I would HAVE to transfer my Xbox Live credits (8 months worth) to their Xbox Live website MYSELF! They gave me several codes, about 18 digits long, that I had to 'redeem' at the Xbox Live website; it was NOT easy!

Major problem: I believe Xbox Live is making 'credit card removal' insanely difficult intentionally. I believe the reason is they DO NOT WANT their hundreds of millions of users to remove their easiest method of buying Xbox Live products...the credit card.

Have been getting charges from XBox livebill.ms.net on credit card statement. Cannot get an answer on why there are so many charges for this. I have 7 different charges for this and need to know who to call to get them to quit putting this on my credit card.

I recently noticed numerous charges to my credit card from Microsoft Zune that were not authorized by myself. I want them removed immediately.

One day, as usual, I go on xbox live to play with my friends. I go to check who's on, but I see I have no friends when just the day before I had 98 friends. Then I am signed out of xbox live automatically because my credit card was suspended. I go to friend request my friends, but it says that the message could not be sent AND that my family settings restricted it, yet I have no family settings. I am really confused.

Hi my bank account was changed i set up xbox live once for my son it ask for a bank account number i do not want my son having acess to my account on his xbox to order games can you close off any more acess for me here are the 2 charges both charges were on the 18th of June Memo: $4;99 MICROSOFT *XBOX BILL.MS.NET WA 0247 that is one here is he other can u help me with this matter $9.99
Memo: MICROSOFT *XBOX BILL.MS.NET WA 0247

They have this great family plan and if you want to save money its great. The year subscription are like $59.99 a year but with this plan its $99.99 for 4 accounts a year. While the price is awesome the plan it self is problems. The primary account is the only one wroth having. The other 3 account you can not do the following: 1. buy Microsoft points, 2. download certain kinds of content, 3. control your settings. Those are the top three issues. Now its good if the account belongs to a child, but what if it belongs to an adult. They need to have an option that give the primary a way to give control over to the person who controls the account. For example: My husband has the main account and his 34 I have the 2nd account and I am 36 our son has 1 account and he is 18 and our daughter has the other and she is 14. My account and my son's should not have any of these issues since we are over 18. XBOX NEEDS TO FIX THIS NOW!

I liked win98...forced to upgrade to XP and I like it. Tried vista on a new puter
and was DOA. Just a junk OS. Now windows 7 looks like a repackaged vista platform
too me. Still junk! I'm stickin too XP!

Maybe Microsoft has shares in Apple Corp? Which might explain the otherwise mysterious logic of spending five years to develop an OS which crashes if left alone for ten minutes.

I fear that microsoft with their Vista OS have done the hardware PC community a great disservice.
I was excited to receive my new compac computer (the fastest processor etc, etc to date - loaded with windows vista basic software - with that came the slowest, most laborious, frustrating experience of my computing life (20yrs = 5PC's). All my peripheral hardware - such as printers., digital cameras etc were not compatible - doing degree course work at the time made me set up my old PC with windows XP -re-installing drivers and files under a deadline made me close to a nervous collaspse!
My internet service was also incompatible and I gave them hell for not recogising that the lapse was due to their not being ready for vista and all the problems that ensued!
It was a very stressful time and if it was not for being able to access files at work and for my husbands Macbook I would have failed my course!
Consequently I have downloaded the regular updates that MS dish out daily to make this dire OS remotely compatible for basic use - and still encounter problems -such as screen freeze that results in shutdown and loss of data . I have also spent money on programs to "debug " the system and download "incompatilble" software ie: anything apple related!
In short - my iMac is ordered - the guys at MS developing Vista could not have done a better PR job of promoting the Apple 10.5 OS if they tried!

Vista is worse than a waste of time and money. It's a burden. I depend on MS Office for a living, sadly, and I do not appreciate the slowness of Vista, the difficulty of moving open windows around quickly (why the hell is this harder now?) and absurd design mistakes. For example, with XP, you could copy/replace a folder from a memory stick onto desktop in a single command, Yes to all. Vista makes you tick off every item in the folder. If it contains 100 items, that's 100 clicks. It's hard to believe such a cretinous mistake could be deliberately built into this monster. Vista offers me nothing new but fancy graphic features, and these soon turn out to be less clear and harder to live with than XP's simple monochrome lines. As far as I am concerned, Vista is a design disaster and a productivity killer. I have gone back to my XP box.

Get a lawyer and file a case or a Right To Information Application asking for the details of the rules and regulations.
What else do you actually expect from stupid places like Hyderabad and Bangalore?

They did the same to me and were happy, the Indians the hired for service to us (LoL), that were actually pleased that they could not refund my false postings to my credit card. My bank was well aware of this Microsoft indian game, and gladly credited the double posting amounts off of my credit charge. Americans are out of work, and Microsoft hires indians that are happy to screw us, while they are gainfully employed by Microsoft. Microsoft is going down the tubes with all I speak to, and I am in the software industry so I know. Good bye Microsoft, it won't be long before you are paid back for not caring about your customers. Regarding XBox Live, I will never go back and buy used disks at Game Stop stores and give money with great customer service, who hire Americans for jobs, and don't laugh when they go to screw their customer!
