?Ever wondered why that number keeps popping up as a fake Microsoft rep? The pattern here points to a classic tech‑support scam where fraudsters impersonate a well‑known brand to steal personal data and money. They’ll claim unauthorized charges or auto‑renewals, then pressure you to call back. Never give out account details or payment info to an unsolicited caller, and verify any claim directly with the official company through their website or known contact numbers. If you receive a text or call like this, block the number and report it to the FTC or your phone carrier.
A text from this number claimed they were auto-renewing a Microsoft account I don't have, aiming to scam me into calling back and providing financial information.
After receiving an email with this number, a return call was made, and the person on the other end claimed to be from Microsoft, stating that a $495 charge had been made for an unauthorised account purchase.
