I am one of your customers.I’m not happy for your unfair support.
Microsoft’s assistance isn’t free.

I love to mess with the people from “Windows Technical Support
Department,” or whatever they are calling themselves. It seems to
differ each time they call. Anyway, this is what happened the last time
they called…

Scammer: Madame, it is very important that you
do exactly as I tell you or else your computer will continue spreading a
very dangerous infection —

Me: I would love to, but I can’t. I don’t even own a computer.
—–
All
things considered, being tech savvy means knowing what your system is
doing, why your system is doing it, and when to end the phone call that
could ruin it.

The one time Microsoft Technical Support called me was to follow up on an issue I was having with software installation, with my permission, as I had initiated contact. The call came at the pre-arranged time, the Caller ID was visible, and the correct case number was referenced.

Also, notice the name difference: Microsoft Technical Support vs. Windows Technical Support Department.

Thank you for letting me participate in your comment forum.

Sincerely,
Ms. Debby Hanoka
