Renevarc2@hotmail.com, password "2006caddy "it looks like someone else might be using your account" for months! multiple recovery attempts/failures! multiple new account creations(that i never wanted)! horible, horrible customer care/support!

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.

Do you know Bill Gates is retired? He doesn't work for Microsoft anymore, sure he still ownes part of the company, but he doesn't call any shots, Steve Balmer does.

I encountered similar problem. Looks they produce it to show off many more unwanted functions but hide or delete what you want. Not for the convenience for 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.

I also recieved this email.. SCam... so. yes its a scam and wish i could get rid of all these things..

Hi,

scottair72@hotmail.com Phone: [protected] Subject: Fraud against All Approved Auto. Inc, Memphis, Tn 38128
An X employ has been using my credit card illegally to set up their company. They have been reported to credit card company.
I would like someone to call me so as to stop this criminal. I have all proof needed. Microsoft has not done anything wrong. I cannot let the use of my credit card to continue by this individual. Please help me and call me. Thank you, Allen Scott, Pres All Approved Auto, Inc
Look up our company at allapprovedauto.net Charge Aug 26, 2016 for $85.71

I realised that my credit card account have been charged in some cases double times by the same company.
Last time 99€ 1.10.2014.
What should I do to get my money back to my account?

why was i billed $19.99 i never authorized this, what was it for?

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.

They got me too...I had 700.00 worth of charges...Does anybody know who to call so we, can get money back?

I had just 3 charges on my card two for $ 1 each and the big one with over $ 980, i called right away my bank and the frauddepartment, hope to get my money back. I see this goes on forever and still nobody stopped them yet ?

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 have 2 charges of $20.99 each on my account that I have no idea what it is or where they got my information. But I want it credited back to my account. it was 1/18/[protected] MicrosoftbillMS.netWA.

It is a company that microsoft outsources to called atlassolutions.com, they are quite dishonest file a police report

You can cancel anytime if you contact the appropriate Customer Service rep at any of these companies. What numbers did you call?
I had no problem contacting them or finding the websites online.

Try calling [protected] or go to www.microsoftcash.com and you
can go to the contact page and either e-mail them or live chat with someone during the day anytime.

Try again and stop compaining.

They are thieves! POS's... (pieces of ###)... I want to track them down and hang them. America needs to show some backbone and HAMMER on these types of scams!

I can't get my money back...and I sure as hell am not going to fill out a form for a refund with my card #... They already sold the card # to someone else.

Please contact your bank as soon as possible to resolve this problem. You can get rid of this fraud by getting a new card from your bank and blocking the current one. All your money will be refunded from the bank after you fill a form provided by your bank.

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.

Rick

I too signed up for the earn microsoft cash and paid the 1.97 and have already been billed for the 49.95 and I am livid. I'm just a single mother of a disabled child trying to find something I can do at home to be with my son more and these theives are stealing money from people just trying to make it in these hard times. Please if anyone finds out who is doing this and what to do please contact me.

Thanks
Melissa

i realized 1 day later, but i hope by calling my credit card company right away, i just lose $1.97 most credit card companies will look into this garbage further and help the customer out

When I found uot this was a scam, I went to the bank told them my account has been debted without my consent, and they got my money back, but I had to close my accout and opened another to fix the problem EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS ASAP.

HOW DO I GET MY MONEY BACK

Had the same problem as every else, want my money back.

This has to be a scam and it has your name on it!

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.

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 emails and unfortunately sent out my personal data. At this point I pray it is not a scam.

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.
