Microsoft fraud

I bought the software from earnmicrosoftcash/impact wealth solutions, that came in my eamail address [protected]@yahoo.com, but when I tried to access to the website, for more information, the web page doesn't exist, but they made the charge to my credit card, and i'm trying to cancel, and now I can't, because the [protected]@earnmicrosoftcash.com website doesn't exist either, for me is a fraud. this scam artist also hacked my email and I am also unable to log onto it as well. I have a second email address at [protected]@yahoo.com

I wrote a huge comment earlier, so you can go search for it if you really care, but two quick comments on posts I read earlier.

"BECAUSE THE support@earnmicrosoftcash.com WEBSITE DOESN'T EXIST EITHER" -ummmm this isn't a web site, it's an email address... that's probably your first problem.

"The email address I was given support@earnMicro$oftcash.com" -It's actually just support@earnmicrosoftcash.com

I"m writing this because I paid my $1.97 for the kit like everyone else, but when I went to cancel I made sure to document everything (email receipt to show my cancellation request was documented) and then when I sent the cancellation form I sent it certified... Anyway, I was canceled and never paid more than the $1.97. If you document everything and cancel as outlined in the Terms and Conditions, you should be fine.

This is total BS. I have tried contacting them before they even took the 49.99 and no response. Now I see they have taken the money. They have no phone number, the email address doesn't do any good even if it is real. No one will respond. People behind these scams should be put into prison. I have contacted my local police to see if I can have the emails that were sent to me traced. I just don't understand the world today. I hope no one else gets caught up in the scam. Just because it has the word microsoft doesn't mean it is legit.

I also, authorized my account to be charged on the assumption that I could cancel with in seven days at web site and email provided. The email address is not a valid address and the web site only brings up this complaint site. The email address I was given support@earnMicro$oftcash.com and the web site of http://my.erarMicro $oftcash.com. I would like to see the person caught and prosecuted for fraud and refund all of us our money back.

Microsoft I want to cancel and cant reach them

I made a order with them this morningfor their earnmicrosoftcash.com and read the fine print and decided that I did not want to obligate myself to the hidden charges that were very hidden indeed. I have tried to call as well as e-mail them but am unable to get in touch with anyone so that i can accomplish this. This is a big time scam that needs to be dealt with.

My windows 7 outlook and word are stopping constantly. I have spent countless hours on Google, Microsoft and other sites trying to fix my problems. Other users are faced with the same problem.

Bill Gates is the real problem. Besides his looking like a homely little hobbit, he orders the release of software knowing that there are bugs in the system. He has his team add fixes that eventually cause computers to crash. This is the the point of having to reload the OS. I am not alone.

Bill Gates had the gall to tell the public that he should be allowed to use East Indians as his support network because they are smarter than Americans and we should have the best. BS! He doesn't want to pay Americans who are far more talented and skilled and smarter to handle our problems.

He hired I yogi which did such a horrible job on one of my computers that I had to reload the OS and I paid for that service.

Bill Gates is the bottom line for all of the software problems that we PC users are unfortunately stuck with. He is an insulting, selfish person that does not care about his client base.

Ef him.

I yearn to have the money so that I can switch to Apple. Not one of my friends and colleagues have complained about their Apple systems.

I actually hate Bill Gates and his company.

Using Outlook Express, on my HP computer which had Microsoft Windows XP installed when I bought it, has become a nightmare. I have high-speed Internet service and calling up a website when in Outlook Express takes nearly forever. Before the endless updates that Microsoft loads customers with, I could go to a website quickly from Outlook Express, even when using dialup service.

I have been trying to use this software unsuccessfully for 6 months now. There are no instructions on how to use the charts that are no longer in the format of a chart wizard. Many of the tools are hidden and the only way to find them is to do multiple internet searches for the information and if you are lucky you might find someone that has figured out how to do what you are trying to do. There is not support in place to help with the software unless of course you want to pay extra for "tech support". I am disgusted and very upset with this purchase. Not only that but it is not compatible with earlier versions of Microsoft office; which when trying to save assignments for classes that instructors or other members only have Microsoft 2017 makes it difficult for them to read or see the formatting. It also is impossible to alter the file after you have saved it to be compatible with 97-2017 versions. If I were not required to have Microsoft Office tools for my MBA program I would get a refund.

I would recommend if at all possible Do Not Purchase This Software.

Nothing but problems.

A very, very unsatisfied customer.

This is a scam, Microsoft does not send out emails or give huge price awards to people who use their products. ANY EMAIL THAT COMES TO YOU SAYING THAT YOU HAVE WON MONEY IS BOGUS. Please donot respond to any of them, you will only get taken for money and you will recieve nothing in return.

They got me for 7.99 and I cancelled the debit card. I called MSFT ADCenter and he couldn't tell me anything unless I gave him the last 4 digits of my debit card. Of course, I did not do that. This is insane but at least I caught it early. He told me that I must have a company in my name and when someone does an internet search and clicks on my company I am charged. He searched using my name but didn't come up with anything. I don't have any type of company. Watch your bank statements very closely!

Same here. They charged me 3 transactions, a total of HKD8, 000. This is insane, this has happened for years and banks still allow them to charge credit cards so easily, they can get this kind of info on web like complantsboard, [redacted], etc...but still they don't do such prevention. My card was issued by a bank called Bank of East Asia, a tiny bank in Hong Kong. So I guess I will be more be careful when choosing credit card issuer next time.

Print out this page and as much information like this that shows this company is a fraud, and your banks should reverse charges. then you call them every day all day get on their nerve call them curse them out dont threaten them for no reason but curse them out ask for your money over and over and tell them you wont stop until they give you back your money. they should get tired of your calls and give you back your money for you to shut up and stop disrupting their business. you can also go to the state office and report them for scams, start a class action since these people have been doing this for a while and it includes some company you have purchase from selling your information to these people. Dont give up work together all of you and fight go to [redacted] and complain, close your account and purchase only with debit cards.

I bought a microsoft cash 2 cd from this site, on November 10, 2008 they took out of my debit card account $1.95 for the the disc. I never saw in written that i was going to be billed later on for more. When i tried looking back into the site it said that there was no such site. Then on November 17, 2008 i later found out that $45.95 was taken out of my debit account. On my debit card account statment for December nothing was taken out. Then on the December 31, 2008 $65.95 was taken out my debit card account again, and i had already placed a complaint on this site a month ago but was cancelled because they never responded back.

I just want my money back

In regards to the initial comment, support@earnmicrosoftcash.com isn't a website, it's an email address. That may be your first problem.

Anyway, I'm really curious what everyone is doing or not doing regarding canceling their accounts. I got the kit, paid my $1.97 (before doing so, I read and printed all the Terms & Conditions stuff, The $49.95 charge is outline in them, as are the cancellation terms), saved the confirmation page (like they tell you to do) with the links to all the information, website and so on. Checked everything out (for the record, for being a "scam" as so many people are calling them, their business management website and what not did seem totally legit, like this isn't something that was thrown together over night... anyway), but decided that their kit wasn't for me, so I emailed them at support@earnmicrosoftcash.com (I made sure outlook was set to send me a receipt that they opened the email, I received it about 2 hours after sending my cancellation email. I printed copies of both the cancellation email, and the receival receipt), received a cancellation form, printed it, filled it out and sent it certified mail so I had a receipt showing they received it, and my account was canceled. I never paid anything other than the initial $1.97.

I'm not writing this to support them, but I'm not calling them a straight up scam either. I'm writing this because as we all know, there are legitimate things online, and there are scams. Whenever purchasing something like this online, you need to read and print EVERYTHING. Everyone is mad about the $49.95 charge, but it is outlined in the Terms & Conditions. Everyone is mad about the cancellation process, but once again it is outlined in the Terms & Conditions. The reason your banks aren't disputing the charges is because technically, and legally you did agree to them when you clicked "submit." If you would have read everything, you would have known this... Also, if you had printed everything, had email receipts of them receiving your cancellation email, and sent your cancellation form through certified email, you would now have all the valid information to show your bank that you did exactly what you were supposed to within the time frame you were supposed to, and you wouldn't have a problem charging back.

I've learned from mistakes in the past, and now make sure to document everything, and haven't lost anything since. But like I said earlier, these guys canceled me right away because I followed the Terms on their website. Maybe I'm the lucky one... but when I read things like "BECAUSE THE support@earnmicrosoftcash.com WEBSITE DOESN'T EXIST EITHER" I have to start wondering.

Microsoft no solution to impractable invoice proof of purchase system

I have tried to purchase student software known as the Ultimate Steal. I tried last year but there was a problem with paypal for a lot of students. By the time that this was sorted. I had no money and the offer was over. I tried again at the end of September. Again same issue with Paypal.

I was told to re-submit my order using my credit card. When I did it said that my basket was empty. I sent multiple e-mails about the problem and they gave me multiple solutions to my problem. None of them worked. I was told to cancel the present invoice on my name and start again. I still keep getting the same message that my basket is empty. I later found out the new invoice which is still stuck on my name does not work because it does not exist on digital river's system and yet customer services (who you can only e-mail) keep on telling me to re-order and not listening to a word I say.

I am very stressed from this ordeal as I am under a lot of pressure with my new year of law with deadlines I have to meet. I am relying on this software. I have expressed to digital river that I am annoyed with their incompetence but they dont care. Please help.

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.

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.

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.

Microsoft terrible support!!!

In January 2008 I had called Microsoft to cancel my XBOX Live subscription since it auto renewed far a full year and I no longer had an XBOX. They would not refund my money, but said I had to pay for what I had used. I said fine, but I wanted it canceled IMMEDIATELY. Well several months later I was looking at my credit card statement closely and realized there were charges for XBOX Live on there. Apparently they put me on month to month billing for an account that was supposed to be cancelled. I called Microsoft and told them that I had tried to cancel this account months ago, and that I would like them to refund my money, since this was clearly their mistake. They refused. I asked to be escalated to a manager that I could submit a complaint about this situation, and the phone representative refused to do so. I asked if there was a place I could write a written complaint, and the women said I should go online to xbox.com to do so. There is no place to do this on xbox.com. I am fed up. I will never purchase anything with a Microsoft logo again if they do not fix this!

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?

Microsoft csr/tos support

On the 19th of August 2008 I got notification on my Xbox Live account saying that I was suspended for "Inappropriate Content" on my profile because of the three letter "A" word. As I admitted that I was at fault when my account got re-activated on the 21st I fixed the issue immediate upon reinstatement. The evening of the 21st I was then suspended again for a week and called Xbox Live support. They too told me since I violated the Terms of Service that they couldnt do anything for me. When asked if I could talk to someone who could, all they told me was "this is the highest level you can talk to." When asking for proof, they said they didnt have to offer any. I immediately told them to cancel my account.

Personally, I could care less if I was at fault for my own mistakes. I admit to my mistakes on the 19th but after I fixed it and was suspended again, I think that they are the rudest people around and theres no way to "appeal" for something that was purely false. I am on the verge of making sure Microsoft gets ruined because of their conduct since I havent been the first person to have had this happen.

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?

Microsoft extended warranty

Bought extended warranty. Disc door frequently gets stuck and machine has frequent disc read errors. Took it in and tech went to verify my claims. The tech observed the disc drive door was stuck, and he put pressure against on side of the door to get it to open. Tech was not able to see any disc read errors because he used a game that did not stream data from the disc.
He said he couldn\'t replace the system because he had to see the disc read error. I asked for the manager. Manager came over and explanined they needed to see the problem. I can understand that, there are a lot of dishonest people. So I said the disc door getting stuck was a malfunction and the manager agreed and asked the tech if he could verify that the door was getting stuck. The tech flat out lied and said \'I just pushed the eject button and it opened\'. When I tried it again, the door did open with the manager there (of course). So I then asked the tech point blank, \"when you first hooked up the xbox and hit the eject button, was the disc door stuck\". The tech gave the same reply, \'I hit the button and it opened\'. He would not answer yes or no. So I wound up not getting my xbox replaced because the tech lied and would not be honest about the malfunctioning drive door he observed.
I tried to escalate the problem to corporate, but they just kept referring me back to the store manager. Fry\'s replies on bulk sales, and don\'t care about the occasional burned customer. They can afford to lose business from the occasional customer. I have since not shopped at Fry\'s, instead purchasing all my games at stores with real customer support services.

Microsoft scamming!!!

July 11, 2008

Mrs. basheera abubakar,
Microsoft lottory co-ordinator,
London,
U. k.

Madam:

After a long braek I am on this writing to you, which caused my daily life and mental peace upset.

As you know and aware of my winning of the award
5.5 m of bps from your microsoft lottory in august 2006.
You are also aware of my conditions and my payments to nigerian microsoft office and the first bank plc. I made nearly 3000 usd payments with 200 usd from your assistance as a sister to brother personal supporting loan on me.

Despite of all of my and your best efforts the first bank could not pay me the award and took many turns in this proccess. a time came that the bank terminated their communication with me and still it is the same.

But in the way I came to know through the first bank abuja, nigeria that the lagos bank did not know anything about your 5.5 millions of bps case which was quite amazing for me. I tried my level best to establish my relational communication once again with them but it was all invain.

Now with the recent development arised from the reports received by me from the economic and financial crime commission chairman which are enclosed for your kind study and updating all the matter to you that the
Person who wrote you as a director of remittance of the first bank plc was under their arrest and he was so called director with a scammed bank and fake name as mr. evans lee.

This news is not less than an atomic bomb from iran and it gives me understanding that mr. bob allen basically played a scammers game with me and given my case to the wrong hands instead of giving to a proper bank.

Can you take an action in this report againt the payment master prof. mr bob allen of nigeria and arrange to refund my dera money of 3000 usd from your special funds or from recvovery of my bob allen’s salaries.

I shall be higly thankful to you to listen my request and undergo this case so that in future no one is looted like me.

Thanks and high regards:

Yours faithfully,

(abdul raqib khan)

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.
