Microsoft internet scam on google

This companies package endorsed by Microsoft (See Google) promised to speed up our charity's PC. Instead it has done the opposite, we had to get a technician to repair same.

We were promised a full refund of the fifty euros if not satisfied. Coming up to Christmas we simply cannot afford to spend money on this scam.
We seek your advice on how we can go about obtaining a refund in full.

Kind regards. Allen Graham President. Allen Graham Charity 4 Kidz (Disadvantaged and Abused Children)

Microsoft fraudulent charges by microsoft *xbox live bill. xbox.com wa

$156.90 (9/28/2012 for $21.64, 9/29/2012 for $54.11/$54.11/$5.40, 9/30/2012 for $21.64) was billed to my CC by MICROSOFT *XBOX LIVE BILL.XBOX.COM WA. These are fraudulent/unauthorized charges and want these charges removed immediately. I already had to change my CC once because of this, but after assurances from Microsoft XBOX LIVE that their billing issues were resolved, I tried ONE more time. The legitimate charge was a couple of months ago and is not listed here. One account has the CC account removed but the other one won't let me remove it unless I replace it with another payment option. I want all my CC info removed from all XBOX live accounts. My email is [protected]@yahoo.com

I don't know how to feel about these complaints... hackers always hack and Microsoft should do something, but you should talk to Xbox live support not complain on here with very little details. If I had to guess, I would say the information was pulled from sort of phishing or baiting scam.

In which you gave the Xbox account info (unknowingly of course) to someone specifically looking to get in there and charge your account.

I did have one issue where some games were downloaded on my account that I never had. I reported it to Xbox Live support and they flagged my account so I was mildly inconvenienced with no access to it for 2 days while they looked into it. The charges were removed they traced the guy who did it and I created a new password and nothing happened after that.

Microsoft unauthorized charges

I have had over 300.00 charged to my bank account because my grandson charged games. I did not find it for a while so the charges amassed. I think it is disgraceful that you cannot remove your credit information and prevent kids from doing this. I don't blame the kids totally, they are faced with the temptation every day when there friends are on xbox live. I feel this coorporation knows they can get money this way and therefore does not put a safety code in place. THEY WANT THE KIDS TO CHARGE UP THEIR PARENTS CARDS!I had only signe dthem up for xbox live and then I thought I had removed the credit information until the bank statmenet came. Now I can either swllow the fees, or have charges placed on my grandson so I can get the money back from my bank. WHAT A SCAM.They can put parent controls on everything else, why wouldn't they protect ones pocket or purse? BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE THEY ARE MAKING MONEY.

Game Stop - Augusta Mall | Augusta Georgia: The Guy who manages the place, is a certified idiot, he keeps hiring convicts, sex offenders, drug dealers, and immature clowns to run this crappy establishment, that only does a good job ripping off customers on their overpriced games. The Customer Service is ALWAYS lousy, and I discovered that the Gamestop managers enforce a discrimination policy on hiring blacks. The manager recently turned down another african-american male (who was qualified & had no record/no drug history)- FOR NO REASON, only to hire; yet again, another white drug dealer who was just let out of prison- FOR SELLING DRUGS TO A MINOR! I hate what this racist manager is doing to the image of Game Stop, because I really used to love buying their games; now, I prefer to buy & rent games online or at Redbox, it's alot cheaper and I don't have to worry about lousy customer service or racism, in the comfort of my home. I HIGHLY recommend to others to do the same, and stop shopping at Game Stop...

This is my third time to received such notification from FIFA MICROSOFT CORPORATION informing me that my email address had just won millions of dollars and even millions of British Pounds in a lottery. The last one was received yesterday, notifying me that my email add was a winner for the 2018 Lottery.. But I'm very hesitant to give them my informations because I knew they were just identity theives. Can the proper authorities make these fraudulent deeds stop?

My Dear Friend,
All the mails you receive, even the British Tax clearance certificate is all fake prepared to take away your money.Now they will tell you that in order to get the tax clearance certificate, you have to pay to the British Tax Revenues Authority an amount of only 550 British Pound, which is actually also fake. You will be thinking of the 500, 000.00 and will make the payment of 500 or 1000 which is very small when compared to what you are assuming to get. That is all what they want. To snatch away few bucks of yours by filling you with a hope of getting money that you have never dreamed off. Why would FIFA offer these all amount of money for nothing? Do you think that you can get something out of nothing. Do not be a fool. And stop asking them to give you your money which was no there and of course not belong to you.

Don't listen to theis "cyber officer" he is one of the scammers. He wants all your personal information so he can scam you and steal your money or identity or both. There is no "Cyber Bureau" a quick bit of research will show that. If you want to contact the authorities in the UK regarding these scam lotteries, do not contact these fake people - contact the actual police. Contact Metropolitan Police and tell them what is going on and they have a task force that deals with this kind of crime.

Each time they withdrew funds from my account it kicked in my overdraft protection charging me $36.00 each time totalling $137.97 that was taken from my account from this Xbox Live outfit with no authorization from me of any kind. I would like to be refunded the total amount into the same account they took from and I would like my information deleted from their system.

On 11th August 2009 Microsoft released a 'scam update' via their Live service to all consoles. Users who bought the X-Box Arcade console (who do not have enough room for the update on their memory cards) have basically kicked off their console and cannot play any games whatsoever, even offline, unless they update. However, updating requires at least the purchase of a new memory card or hard drive. It's basically just another way for Microsoft to scam innocent people out of money and those that don't pay are forced off their gaming console which they've already paid good money for.

Microsoft are a SCAM!

I ordered $500.00 worth of handbags fro this company in May. June came around an still had nothing! I emailed them constantly, only to get emailed back "your items shipped". I called my bank and informed them of the situation and they refunded my money.:) Before I purchase replicas online, I now research the company.

Your business is a total scam. I agreed to pay more than $700.00 for a useless book, which I learnt my lesson. What made your business even worse is you kept charging me $17.97 for those cheap magazines which I didn't order at the first place. I've called soooooooooooooooo many times to ask you to stop, but never got to talk to anyone except the call center agent you hired to 'transfer' your customers' complaints. What a business! I wonder if you can sleep every night, and I don't understand how can such a business still operating!
I've even got hold of ERIC DELL who sold me the book at the first place - everyone: WATCH OUT THIS GUY! He was so rude and couldn't wait to transfer my call to 'finance department' - voice mail - of course! ERIC DELL said 'all calls are recorded, you agreed to recieve first two free magazines and pay $17.97 after that, unless you CALL us to cancel ' - I swear that's a total lie and scam! He hasn't inform me the call was recorded, neither about the stupid magazine! STOP CHARGING ME!

Microsoft need activation code

I purchased an online Microsoft Office Professional 2007 with my credit card in May 2010. Unfortunately last year my laptop had to be returned to the manufacturer for repair. I had backed up everything on to an external hard drive. I have managed to restore my MS Office Professional 2007. It is looking for an activation key, which I unfortunately have lost. I have tried on several occasions to get this from either Microsoft or Digital River from whom I purchased. I have the details on my credit card statement, but so far have not been able to get my activation code from any of the phone calls or emails I have made. Can you help?

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am not quite sure if I am even sending my 'concern' to the correct website? I thought I purchased Microsoft Office 2007 via a credit card purchase. I never received a 'disc' or anything as I thought. But, I did receive a charge to my credit card in the amount of $116.85 on my 09/16/09 statement that read: Transaction Date: 03-Sept-09, Date Posted: 04-Sept-09, Reference #24692167N00V5SZ5K, Description: DRI*Microsoft Office http://suppor MN, Amount: $116.85.

Could you possibly help me? Perhaps this product key might be the answer? Product key # BFFFM - PTTVC - DJW7H - 2PJP8 -88VW8.

Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.

With my best regards,

Richard R. Rulnick

This site is just a complaints site. It's not a customer service Web site. You need to contact the customer service of the site you supposedly bought Office from. I say supposedly because perhaps you were scammed.

If you get you dough back, you can always use a free alternative like OpenOffice. Find that at openoffice.org. It's free and does the same stuff as Office.

Microsoft unauthorized charges

On March 29, 2012 I noticed three different charges charged to my bank card. I guess because I had the card saved to my console. The charges were for Microsoft points. Well the points were used for 10 different things. Upon seeing the charges, I contacted Xbox Live. I preceded to tell them that I had not made these purchases. And that none of the items downloaded were on my console. Well they claimed that they would investigate and that I would hear from them in 7-10 days. Well here it is 19 days later and no phone call or email and definitely no refund. So I call them again today. They claimed that through their investigation that the charges made came from my IP address. And like I told them, that's impossible. One our internet service was interrupted for one of the days the charges were made, and two we weren't home. Again I told them that none of these things were on our console. The customer service rep preceded to say that they would do another investigation. Which I'm sure would turn out like the first one. So, hopefully with the help of my bank, we will be doing a chargeback. I'm very disgusted with Xbox Live and don't see myself purchasing anything else or recommending them to anyone. They should have better security and customer service

My ex-husband set up an XBox live account for our son. He set it to auto-renew annually. In the meantime, my son bought a couple of $5 items for his XBox, and Microsoft stored the card info automatically. In the meantime, my ex-husband's credit card expired before the XBox Live account expired last month, and he did not update it. My son went into his XBox Live account last night and deleted his dad's expired card number. I heard him say, "Oh no!" and he ran to me in a panic saying that as soon as he deleted his dad's card, mine was automatically charged $60 for a year's subscription. When I was finally able to reach Microsoft today to explain that the charge was unauthorized and ask for a refund, the supervisor practically laughed at me. He said that the fine print I agreed to when making ANY XBox purchase was that my card would be stored and charged for any purchases on the account. I'm working with my bank to try to reverse the charges, but I'm not optimistic. This is a complete scam that also victimizes kids. Even though it's not his fault, my son is very distressed about what happened. This should be illegal. It's definitely fraud.

Microsoft fraudulent billing practices

Beware of xbox live billing and security practices. In 2011 I cancelled xbox live after I was billed the annual fee on a dormant account (fees ach out of bank account without notice); cancellation made 4/14/11 (day after ach billing); Microsoft REFUSED to reimburse the billing as I called one day past the annual renewal date-even though they could see that the account had not been utilized for the past year (as our xbox was given away). 2/15/12 another annual fee taken out (2 months before the year was even up on a cancelled account!). They maintain a new purchase was made -utilizing my outdated credit card information-funny thing is that I have not authorized any charges and have not even had an xbox in my home for over 3 years! They cannot even tell me who placed the order or authorized the charge. Also, they maintain that although the card expired 1/2010 the billiing agreement gives them carte blanche to continue to run billing against expired cards without owner authorization. Hmmmm-doesn't pass the reasonability test. I wonder how many other people on FB have had a similar situation. I'm also wondering why the leader in software does not have tighter security requirements and controls to protect it's consumers-massive failure in risk mitigation! Lastly, if Microsoft can't tell me where this "order" came from -that they charged me for- it seems reasonable that this could be related to hackers that have figured out how to get their annual xbox live access - free of charge-on the backs of microsoft consumers. I'm looking for anyone that has had this experience-I'm wondering if there is a class action lawsuit opportunity.

I just had the same exact thing happen to me. I have had to call them every 3 months for the past year because they continued to bill me AFTER I had cancelled my account. I even got a new card. The refused to reimburse me and were extremely unhelpful. Just tried to have my account deleted AGAIN even though they had said it was deleted the first time. A bill of $25 every three months adds up. I haven't even owned an XBox in over a year and a half.

this guy who posted this is one of the biggest cheaters on xbox and for what ever sick reason he is getting his kicks by posting things like this when he is actually the main one who is doing all the cheating...look at his name...GLITCHEDMATRIX...he manipulates glitches in games to benefit his gameplay and that includes the harassment of other gamers who are loyal and paying customers, and the really sad thing about him is that he is one of the many cheaters who have this, , , "I'M UNTOUCHABLE" attitude, cocky, arrogant, cowardly attitude all because he knows what most of the other descent gamers know...theirs nothing any of us can do, xbox live customer support, their enforcement team, microsoft, and rockstar games dont care about their customers they only care about lining their pockets with our money...so sad!

Microsoft billing

I had an offer for a one month subscription to xbox live gold for one dollar right after i'd cancelled my subscription and turned off the automatic billing. Decided to accept the one month, yet when my xbox updated it reset the automatic billing to on. The next few months, during which my xbox wasnt even plugged into the wall so i had no idea, I was charged 9.99 for xbox live gold. when i called and told them i wanted to cancel the subscription, that I hadn't even actually agreed to a subscription. Their only response was that it was my fault because the automatic billing was on and they do not do refunds, much ruder than needed to be. They turned off the gold five days before the day that i had paid through so when i tried to use what id been robbed ten dollars for i couldnt.
Waited on the phone for a manager for ten minutes with no answer.
