Report received, April 18, 2008:
Received a bill in the mail from Microsoft for $15.98.
I'm not sure what the bill is for, so I called the 800 number on the bill. No
one ever picks up the phone, but the automated system asks for your SSN. I
researched the description of the charge (MSNIA Subscription) on the internet,
and the first few links were all SCAM related, with people receiving the same
bill with the same charge amount.
The phone number is 1800-809-0923. The adress on the
bill is PO Box 847124 Dallas, TX 75284-7124. Another address on the bill is PO
Box 14647 Tucxon, AZ 85732
The reverse side of the bill asks for you to fill out
your credit card info.
I'm throwing this away, but please try and stop these
guys.
