robbery
In september 2008 i canceled my xbox live membership of £4.99 a month. Today i checked my balanced and i found that they were taking £4.99 a month out each month still so i called them up and they said that i never called up (when i did) and it never got canceled. So they said that theres no way i can get a refune because they have no record of my call, but i said why would i not call up and still let the payments go out every month when i don't have an xbox anymore, they said i must of forgot to call up, but i know i called up. This is robbery and not fair.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
downloading office 2007/home & student
Thought I was purchasing software for the new 2007 edition of Office for Home & Student. The download will not work properly and I cannot get anyone to respond to my email. There is no phone number either. I would like a refund on my Mastercard. Evidently, this is all a scam! I am very upset and frustrated by the whole purchase.
It says on my printout that the payment was for: esoftwaremall - receipt # [protected]
I have not heard from customer service at all at Alberta LTD.
Valerie A. Adams
My email address is: [protected]@windstream.net
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
esoftwaremall.com is not in Canada, even though they show they are a part of "Alberta, Ltd." They are actually in China. If they have ever done legitimate business, I am not aware of it. From my attempt to purchase a program from them, they behaved as fraudsters.
I do not recommend doing any business with them. If you already have, and they have not delivered the goods, inspite of all their emails to you, then protest through your credit card company or PayPal, for failure to provide the product you attempted to purchase.
unfair closure of account
I complained to [protected]@hotmail.com regarding that I had received hundreds of spam emails sent to my [protected]@hotmail.com hotmail account. As a direct result of my forwarding the Original Message Header with my complaint to [protected]@hotmail.com and [protected]@msn.com, their response was to Immediately shut down my hotmail account for reporting of spam. This is unfair. I have NEVER engaged in spamming. This action was taken November 4, 2017 by hotmail.com.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
My hotmail account for the last several years has been a total benefit. I received an urgent phone-call from a friend listed on a contact list. The friend said that she had an email that requested Money sent to me because of a Problem I was having out-of-this-country (USA). In addition, I received over 15 more phone calls about the same problem.
I tried to access the email account, and could not sign-in. My password has been changed, and the receipt of the new change was sent to the culprits email account.
I have the print-out stating that "We sent a link to reset your password to the following email addresss. If you still can't reset your password, you can come back in 24 hours for more options". The email address is not totally given but show jo*****@sbcglobal.net. This is NOT MY account and I can't SEE the new password.
This theft and using my Name as a means to solicit funds without cause or efforts by me.
I want my email account BACK.
My Hotmail account has been hijacked and my contacts are receiving emails in my name saying I have been robbed at gunpoint while on holiday and need money to return home. Hotmail refuse to accept that I am the owner of the account based on the evidence I have provided and are apparently taking no action to block the account. They suggest that I open a new account!
Hotmail ask questions about the account that most people would not be able to answer without access to their account, like the subject of emails in your inbox and other folders.
A warning to others - keep a copy of your contacts list elsewhere, because if you loose access to your account, Hotmail are unlikely to help.
i have an email address as "fairyangel125@hotmail.com" but its not working correct as its not sending any mail to any account and not showing the contents of received mails...
kindly do favor and remove the errors as soon as possible...
i am receiving a message from windows live hotmail on the top of my screen, when i signed in by my this I.D which is showing below..
"Windows Live Hotmail was not able to complete this request. Microsoft may contact you about any issues you report"
Ii recently broke off a relationship with a guy who is not taking it well and as a result he has hacked his way into one of my email accounts and changed my password this particular account is with yahoo and was my alternet email for recovery information should i have a problem with my main email account which is with hotmail, when i became aware of what he had done and learned i could no longer access my yahoo account for extra security i change my password on my hotmail account about once or twice a week and this is where i have a problem the last time i changed my hotmail password i could'nt remember it and access was denied my problem is iam not able to access my alternet yahoo account either so recieving password reset info. is not possiable without him recieving it and gaining access to my hotmail as well. I have contacted customer services and answered all the personal info.questions they needed to verify i was infact the owner of the hotmail account in question and in conclusion they were saticfied that indeed i was, so they sent me an email to a new hotmail account i opened for the soul purpose of recieving this reset info. i was instructed to copy and paist the url of the email i recieved from hotmail customer services in a new browser address bar and hit enter on my keybord which i did and was directed to a page with a message stating that the reset email had expired i did this three or four more times each time with the same result it has been aprox.2 mo. since i have had access to either one of these accounts now and for reasons more important then personal and sentimental it is crusual i gain access again for evidence of harrasment ect... please help me he is relentless and will stop at nothing the proof i need to have a restraining order granted is all stored in my hotmail account please i sincerely need your help please . My new email address is irenel1@live.com please send reset instructions to me here so this guy can be stopped and my family, friends and i can regain piece in our lives without his herrendous and herriffic evil turmoil overwhelming us daily. I thank you for your time, concern and surport in this matter respectivly yours Irene Longmire
My Email that I have for over 10 years was stolen on or about June 26, 2017.(Email account:stennettw@hotmail.com). I have been trying to get it back since then today is July 12, 2017 and I do not have access to it. Could some one investigate this matter and get my Email back to me. Hotmail does not want to get involve. thank you.
I have been trying to contact Microsoft for 6 days to report a hijacking of my account, and its like banging your head against a brick wall, in the mean time someone is using my account they have changed my password, and I can´t even get in to transfer my emails and contacts etc to another account, what sort of business people are these, since this happened I have heard so many bad reports about them, I wonder why I have stayed with them for 18 years.
Can anyone help please.
regards
Michael Peach
some one stole my account and is now
using this to defraud my friend and
all my email contacts please stop them
using my account to scam innocent people
many thanks simon
I have been with Hotmail several years. All of a sudden I am seeing an address that is similar to mine, but there is a definite difference.
How do I get rid of the similar account and get back to my original account ? ?
Thankyou, I will need a reset on gmail and hotmail.
This is a very popular scam and has been for several months-I am a computer instructor for active adults and we have several students in the last several weeks this has happened too and can't seem to get any help from MSN/Hotmail to get their accounts back for them - and in all cases these are their priamary/only email accounts. It appears that once the scammers get into the account, they change the password & secret questions and it's impossible to get any help from Microsoft-we did report it to an FBI site reported in several national newspapers about the scam, but have heard nothing.
?? money-laundering scam??

The Microsoft Internet E-mail lottery Awards is sponsored by our CEO/Chairman, Bill Gates and a consortium of software promotion companies. The Intel Group, Toshiba, Dell Computers and other International Companies. The Microsoft internet E-mail draw is held periodically and is organized to encourage the use of the Internet and promote computer literacy worldwide. The Microsoft Window lottery has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers.
As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Microsoft lottery has reached a decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the
Canceling of that particular winning, making a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.
Once again on behalf of all our staff,
CONGRATULATIONS!

unauthorized charges
I have two charges for $25.00 & 5 charges of$1.00. I was told these are for games & ipod music. I have never ordered from this company. Don't know how they got my card number. I am 66yrs old these things are of no interest to me.Don't own an ipod or know how to work one.I was told that they could not find my card number. Then how did I get charged? I just want my money back, $55.00. Thank you
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
There was two unauthorized charges taken out of my credit card on 6/12/09 with out my permission. One for $5.00 and one for $74.04 I would like this money put back or there will be a problem.
My grandson order Xbox minutes on line. 60 dollars in one month for undetermind amount of minutes and I had to terminate my card. When I called microssoft at1 [protected], they said that they recieve the payments but have not rembersed me yet. You would think that micrsoft being the cutting edge of computers would recognize a scam if they got three payments on the same date. I guess =geerd runs deep
Call your credit card company and report the card as stolen.
Microsoft is a reputable company and will not charge your credit card for things that were not purchased.
I suspect that someone got a hold of your credit card number and then used it to purchase these things.

credit card charge
I have been charged $14.95 per month for last two months. I have called american express few times and they are not ready to cancel the charges. I have called Microsoft [protected] /[protected]/[protected] and after going in circles for atleats 1 hour i was told that i should have my orignal credit card # which i have used in past to register the account. I told them i dont have it but they just not ready to listen. Then i asked them atleast not to charge and again tehy say they cannot do it.
It seems to me that just don't give your credit card to microsoft and if you make sure you are ready to cancel the credit card
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
I just had the same issue because I canceled my bank card and account. Finally they asked me my "secret question" which I was able to anser immediately and the issue was cleared up within a few more minutes. Good luck.
charges not authorized
I am getting these charges for various amounts sometimes all in the same month from microsoft xbox live bill. Ms. Net at first i thought it was something my son had signed up for on a yearly basis but he showed me that he did not authorize such charges on the xbox. I am getting charged $25. 00 every other month and $6. 25 every three months on my credit...
Read full review of Microsoft and 1 commentcouldn't download software. no one to call and not response to refund request.
Please do not order anything from this company. It is a scam. The software they are supposedly selling will not download. I was very leary of making this purchase with them and my hesitation has proven correct. Also, I found out that all I had to do was contact Microsoft and they would send me a replacement disk for a fraction of the cost of the software. I have repeatedly asked this company to give me a refund and they refuse. Do not do business with this company? I don't even know who they are. I usually don't do business with a company that doesn't list a phone number there they can be contacted.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Last autumn I paid for an Office 2003 Pro download from esoftwaremall. After 2 attempts and emails to the firm (they actually replied!) I got a download which has worked well ... until yesterday, when Microsoft suddenly informed me the program was not legit. Yet at the time I followed the proper procedure of registering it with Microsoft and got no warning from them. How can you find out at the time if a product like this is genuine or not?
I was gonna buy ms office pro 2003 from this website; however, I became suspicious when I clicked the links for Shipping and Returns, Privacy Notice, and Conditions of Use and they gave me nothing. So I started searching about esoftwaremall and it led me to this complaints board. Now I'm sure that the website is not legit. Thank you for this information.
I found this a little too late. I just bought the software and no link for me to download either. This bites! I usually check out sites that I buy from but forgot to on this site. Total bummer! I'm going to see if I can dispute with PayPal.
So does this mean buying the software will not give u a download? Because i just bought a software from them and it dosent seem like i can download it. If so, what do i do?

The Microsoft Internet E-mail lottery Awards is sponsored by our CEO/Chairman, Bill Gates and a consortium of software promotion companies. The Intel Group, Toshiba, Dell Computers and other International Companies. The Microsoft internet E-mail draw is held periodically and is organized to encourage the use of the Internet and promote computer literacy worldwide. The Microsoft Window lottery has discovered a huge number of double claims due to winners informing close friends relatives and third parties about their winning and also sharing their pin numbers.
As a result of this, these friends try to claim the lottery on behalf of the real winners. The Microsoft lottery has reached a decision from headquarters that any double claim discovered by the Lottery Board will result to the Canceling of that particular winning, making a loss for both the double claimer and the real winner, as it is taken that the real winner was the informer to the double claimer about the lottery. So you are hereby strongly advised once more to keep your winnings strictly confidential until you claim your prize.
Once again on behalf of all our staff,
CONGRATULATIONS!
Sincerely,

fraud and scam
In 2000 we signed up for Microsoft's bCentral banner ad exchange program. The banner exchange program was na ad exchange where for every 2 Microsoft banner ads that displayed on our websites, Microsoft agreed to give us 1 banner ad on their websites. When we signed up the terms of the program stated that banner adds accrued never expired. In June 2007, Microsoft unilaterally discontinued the banner exchange program and wiped out all of our banner ad credits with notice or warning. We had accumulated over 8 million valued at over $10, 000 based on Microsoft's valuation. After complaining to Microsoft the maximum offer they made was to give us a $250 ad credit at Microsoft's ad center. Thanks a lot Microsoft! We earned these credits and Microsoft should make good on them. How can Microsoft act like a fly by night company? We ask that Microsoft do the right thing and make good on these credits.

News flash: emails, text messages, computer popup--any of these things that just show up out of nowhere telling you that won some stupid amount of money are all scams.
So is the Nigerian royalty who kindly requests your assistance getting you the millions you're entitled to. So is the email that tells you to forward to as many as people as possible so Microsoft can reward you somehow. So are all the spam emails telling you that you can enlarge your junk. So are the several daily messages that go into my spam folder telling me that someone got me a thouand dollar gift card from (insert store name here).
I'm still amazed that people fall for this kind of crap. If you have to ask, assume it's fake.
