(800) 642-7676 - May 8th, 2022 1:10pm
My advice to everyone is to get ROBO****ER on your phones in order to have a shield between you and these scammers. I have no vested interest in promoting ROBO****ER. I am just an extremely satisfied customer who wants to offer good advice. I am amazed when I read about the scammers calling people. I am even more amazed when people state that they keep calling! If you received even one call from a scammer, scammed or not, it might mean that you have little or no call screening/blocking and security on your phone. ****ing up on a scammer just validates the point that the scammer got to you in the first place. After a proper setup, ROBO****ER won’t even let them get through to me. In fact I have my phone set to silence any caller who is not on my contact list. That means I will not even know they are trying to get through. I only know after the fact with a Missed Call notification, at which time I do a Reverse Lookup of the number. So come on people, if you can’t afford ROBO****ER, at least stop feeling obligated to answer the phone just because you hear it ringing!!! Unless you are at work and being paid to answer a company phone, you are not obligated to answer. REMEMBER THAT!!!

They tried sending me an email saying I confirmed a purchase $4000 which wasn’t me. They had this phone number listed on the email sir customer support. So I called them and they acted like they were trying to help me dispute the transaction. They fished for my name, social, date of birth. They then tried to connect me with my bank account to freeze my accounts. ***KING SPAMMERS DONT ANSWER IT!!!

They call me several times a day telling me that they are receiving error reports from my computer which I know is impossible. The weird thing is that they knew my name. I signed up for the ROBO calls to go into ROBO land so in fact these are not ROBO calls.

This number is supposed to be Microsoft Customer service. I called 3 times because they downloaded Windows 10 on my ma****e without my permission. When I called to have them restore me to 8.1. They caused me more problems. 3 one hour sessions made things worse, and I ended up calling my personal Tech to get me out of the mess they made. It cost $65.00. Some how they shut down my printer from its wifi, and other problems. This is the second time that Microsoft wrecked my ma****e and cost me money. I would not purchase their service, because they are the ones who cause the problem, so they should fix it.
(800) 642-7676 - April 11th, 2016 5:55pm

This is a huge scam. Previously got this call from a different number claiming to be Microsoft customer support. They get into your computer and lock it up unless you pay them. I didn't pay them. Thankfully my IT person was able to fix it but it was deep into my computer. DO NOT give them any information.
(800) 642-7676 - July 31st, 2015 4:32pm
Microsoft needs to investigate and get this creep to stop calling, he calls and tells me he loves me, who is this creep, who does he think he is aside from being sick sick sick.

Received a call from 8006427676 today. Found this iden***y on-line: Product Support by Microsoft 1-800-642-7676. I had been in recent contact with Microsoft Support re a computer problem. Caller today did not speak when answering ma****e picked up the call. Not sure why they would not speak up. Not sure I trust that this was Microsoft since they really had no reason to be calling me back at this point in time, but since they did why not leave a message? Computer-generated call? Wrong number on-line?
