This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I agreed to a charge of 4. 95 which they charge but also charged to my bank account $49. 95 which were charged after i phoned to cancel the account. I had ten days to cancel which i did after three days. Still my bak has not been able to cancel the charge.

I did not buy anything, I did not order anything from Microsoft, and still I check on my credit card statement and they stole 32 pounds, they do not know it already earn, so humans have to rob? You must visit the lawyers and will announce it to all your social networks. How do I get my account? This is how one must pay in order to rob him? what is behind the system- scheme?

I have no idea how other people, but I wasn’t happy with the company www.microsoftstore.com. I faced some difficulties with their software, but the customer services were helpless and unavailing. They didn’t communicate or reply to my emails and messages. I tried to reach these people within several days, but it was so frustrating that I simply stopped. I don’t recommend the company, because of their non-existing customer services.
