Microsoft repeated fraudulent charges same day

I had three charges on the same day for the same amount. I don't even have an Xbox. I thought merchants were not supposed to let the same amount be charged multiple times.

Microsoft fraud

my son made a one time purchase for xbox silver plan. but charges showed up on my credit card statement that he did not make. i called microsoft at the number they give me on my statement and told them the charges was not ours and they agreed to credit the charges back to our card. i canceled the card so they could not do it again. that stoped my statements. a year later we get a letter in the mail saying they were suing us for charges from microsoft from 17 monthes ago. when i called microsoft they said they never recieved call from us telling them these charges were not ours. so they never credited card back. i wanted them to pull up phone records showing that i did call, they did but then they wanted to know why i wanted to disbute charges now. i ask for some one higher than her to talk with, but was told she was on phone for a conference, and was told she would give me a call back in 24 to 48 hours. we'll see. please say a prayer for me. we cannot afford to pay credit card all these penalties and fees for 17 monthes. thanks, mad in alabama

Microsoft - fraudulent charges

"Microsoft *Xbox Live Bill.ms.net" processed two fraudulent charges on my checking account. The first for $74.99 and the second for $49.99, both on Sept. 1, 2010.

Microsoft billing

I just got billed £9:98 from microsoft *billing bill.ms.net lu when i didn't even order a subscription, so i checked the gamer tags i used this card on and neither have any gold subscriptions on them. also subscriptions are as follows; 1 month - £4:99, 3 months - £14:99, 1 year - £39:99, so even if i had purchased a subscription i couldn't be billed £9:98. i will try and contact support but will most likely get put through to someone from a foreign country who will take all day to answer my problem because i can understand them and they can't understand me.

Microsoft unauthorised debit on credit card

I have an unauthorised debit of $10.95 with the description Microsoft*Billing.Bill.Net.SGP.

I have not purchased anything from Microsoft*Billing.Bill.Net.SGP. and have not provided anybody with any authorisation to debit the credit card. It seems to be a complete scam

I received the same mailing, only I am winner #4 of 850, 000 British Pounds, and Microsoft was celebrating 40th Anniversary in conjunction with (FPS) Foundation of Software Products (FPS should stand for Foundation of Products Software) and they wanted me to submit my info to Flora Miller, Cash Aid Documentation Officer- floramiller11@ovi.com and indicate payment : bank online wire transfer or cheque and also include my comment on microsoft products . This scam was supposed to be a Microsoft Internet email draw held periodically and organized to encourage the use of internet and promote computer literacy worldwide. This is just hurtful because I really could have used this money. I am just getting out of an emotionally and mentally abusive marriage of 20 years, I am unemployed, I have no car, no bank account, and the only thing I own is a few clothes and this laptop from which I am typing, I would be homeless had it not been for a family member that took me and two of my sons in and they are struggling as well. I wanted this to be real so I could not only could I get back on my feet but I could also establish something for others who might oneday find themselves in my position. I would hate to be the person or people behind any type of scam that prey on innocent people because KARMA is really something. They wouldn't have gotten anything from me anyway, I don't have a bank account either and my credit is shot, my estranged husband made sure of that. lol

Microsoft hotmail

On 8/11/2010, I opened up a 'hotmail' account. I do not have access to it. I have tried calling every customer service number to no avail. When you get a microsoft or hotmail 'customer service' rep. on the phone, they are disgustingly rude and obnoxious and they barely speak understandable English. I feel that they deliberately bait customers.

As of today I still have no access to this account. I am concerned that someone will use my email address for illegal purposes without my knowledge or consent. I cannot close this account because I have not access to it.

I am not surprised to see over 4, 000 complaints against Microsoft on this website alone. I have learned that the European Union has tried to sue Microsoft for monopolizing operating systems.

Note: try placing a complaint against Microsoft on "[redacted]"

Re: MSN e-mail support = BS
My msn account (7 yr old) was hacked by a spammer on January 4, 2011. All addresses in my directory were sent spam asking for money. I did not send it. MSN shut it down. I went through hoops filling out the support questionnaire for 2 weeks. I was sent a link to reopen the account and it did not work. An additional two weeks were spent providing additional info. Twice I was congratulated for proving my identity! and a reset link was going to be sent to my alternate e-mail address. Never happened. And they stopped replying to my questions... for over a month I worked in good faith to restore this heavy time invested e-account. Their customer service behavior is top rate BS!

Microsoft charges on my account

Last month July 2010 I was charged for micro soft and other x box use. This month August 2010, I was charged again for the same as above. I do not know why I am getting charged this amount and being that I am on a fixed income and disabled, I can not afford this sort of money coming out of my accoutn each month. I would only want what is charged to have x box on live. NO OTHER XTRAS. iS THER SOME WAY THAT THIS CAN BE TAKEN CARE OF? TO AVOID ANY OTHER MISUNDERSTANDINGS IN THE FUTURE?
