It cost $6.87 to ship a trial version of Excel. It took a week to get to my home. Only had three days to call, cancel and return it. In those few days while I was trying out the program I was charged another $78.00 + tax for an unauthorized order. Tried to call the company and they said my time was up and it was too late for me to get a refund. Called a few more times with no avail. Went down to the bank and they told me they could not help me either. I wanted to originally learn Excel to get a better office job. Now that I am in college I need the program and it will not install or, install manually. All I want is another copy of the program, Please I really need it now. Cannot proceed and will have to drop out of Ashford University, when I can graduate with a degree. Thank you! Debra A. Card Tel.

Warning-warning-warning stay away from xbox 360 video game machine

Fraudulently ran my card, called and complained and they ran it while I was on the phone! If you want their Federal Tax ID# 91-[protected], people are urged to make an online report with FBI internet crimes and contact IRS

I have wasted nearly two hours trying to contact MSN to let them know that I do not want BING, or any other MSN service, as my default, for anything. Yes, I have tried to remove it from the toolbar, etc... The point is-it should not be this much trouble to say "NO." MSN needs to contact me, @ [protected]@yahoo.com, and tell me exactly how to block them. I also want a direct way to contact their customer service department, if they actually have one...This is a violation of the "NO CALL LIST, " or at least, it should be.

I bought a brand new computer w/ Office Professional and can not view HTML messages in Outlook 2010. I've spent a total of 12 hours of my time in 6 separate tech calls with their tech center in India, but its rather obvious they are not familiar with this product. All I'm trying to do is view my Hotmail (Microsoft) HTML messages in Outlook 2010 (64 bit) but I can only view them in Text only rather than HTML. There is a specific setting to allow HTML but the setting does not work!

I bought the product from Microsoft under the premise that I would receive competent support, but I have been unable to get competent support. In fact, the problem was caused by the Microsoft tech person in India. The Outlook program was working in HTML but I had a sync problem. When they fixed the Sync problem, they created an HTML problem.

My case # w/ Microsoft remains unresolved after 6 attempts!

MY Credit card also had mysterious charges from Microsoft Xbox. We do not have any Xbox. Had to cancel my credit card

There are 12 charges on our account and they should not be we have no clue who you are. Four charges for 49.99, 4 for 19.99 and 4 for 4.99. I am contacting the authories on Monday. PLease put this money back into the account as this is not something we even know what it is about. James Jones

I received message that my account which I have been using for 10 years have been tampered with and it has been difficult for me to change the password.
Please hotmail should ensure that my account [protected]@hotmail.com is not used for criminal activities.
Thanks

Just like many other people on here I was a victim of the " 2 transactions" xbox scam. I am livid because of the loss of money not just from my bank account but also because as a nurse I had to take time off work to deal with this, therefore losing even more then the two lots of $80.80 that I originally suffered. I went to the police station and reported the theft - they weren't exactly interested but I insisted on making a report. They said the scams are probably from Russia or Eastern Europe ( or maybe here in the U.S. - shouldn't somebody at least investigate this?) Then to add insult to injury Bank of America carried out their own investigation and have concluded that it was a genuine transaction and are going to take the refunded money back! I told them to look at this site - I've obviously done a much better job of investigating this then they have. I don't even own a bloody xbox, for gods sake! I hope these idiots that are raking in the 100's of thousands of pounds a year need surgery real soon... they have no idea how much pain I can cause them! ###!

A scam mail originating from e-mail address [protected]@gmx.com has been received by me, informing me that I have won Pounds 850, 000.00 on the the ocassion of the 35th aniversary of the Microsoft corporation Board. From the very beggining I Knew it was a scam but just to guage where they asked for money for remittance of the prize money I taged along with them. Now I have the details of supposed bank person in Malaysia whom I should contact and ask him to send my prize money. The catch is that the remittance charges have to be paid by me . I am now lodging a complaint against this scam and would request that the person who is contacting me from the above e mail may please be invetigated and innocent people should not get lured into their fraudlant scams. I remain available on my e-mail for any other information that may be required. The mails recived are appended hereunder for ready reference

I received an e-mail stating that my e-mail address has won the sum of $500, 000.00 Pounds Sterling from the Microsoft International Lottery. For payment, I was to contact Mr. Erkkinem Michael at e-mail [protected]@w.cn with full name, contact address, telephone, age and occupation.

I am being charged 4 times at 10.91 including the monthly rate of 21.84 the monthly rate is ok I am concerned with the other charges . I dont know why these charges on my credit card. Please let me know what these charges are for. you can contact me @ [protected] or email me @ [protected]@comcast.net Ther charges are on 3/11/2011 and 3/12/2011 and 3/17/2011. These charges are coming out of my credit card and i live on a budget so I really would like to find an answer as soon as possible.

Today I was online banking and noticed a charge for 74.99 from XBBILL.XBCOMWAUS. I called the bank and since it is a pending charge they said it has to go though before they can do anything about it. So i did some online researching and found out that these charges come from XBOX. Well I dont own an xbox...so I called the company [protected]. I gave them my card number (already cancelled) and they pulled up an account set up in my name...identy theft is scary. The account showed two transactions one for the 74.99 and the other refunding the 74.99 charge! The woman said that they must have already noticed that it was fraud. So now it is a waiting game to see if the charges will post back to my account!

There are 15 unauthorized withdrawals made from my checking account. Total taken - $374.85. I have not anything from this website. Please advise how I can get my money back.
