This is an absolute fraud, and he should report this to Microsoft and give them the telephone number he was given. He might also consider reporting it to the Police Cybercrime Unit. There have been reports of this sort of thing going on, and you and he can be 100% assured that Microsoft do not do this kind of thing under any circumstances.

On that time he wasn't sitting next to his computer but they gave him their phone number for further help. Anyway, I advised my brother to ignore their phone calls because I do think it does not making a sense and I believe they're only after his money or else. Did anyone had the phone calls from Microsoft people? If yes was any helpful by them? Thanks. Ronnie. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
