Then they went off line,, called the same number back got a guy called Robert Smith ( 808-xxx-xxx7 and 802-xxx-xxx6 ) he dicked around for 2 days called me back and wanted me to get 3300.00 worth of gift cards, because he said I owed that much to a porn site.

So Im waiting for the PoPo to show up to file a report, will they do anything, naww these clowns are out of india though the call numbers is in Vt. SO watch your selves kiddies !!!

I'm going to give @Elliott in GA a pass as I don't think he purposely gave bad info.
But Everyone please verify that info your giving is Valid and safe info!

What I passed on was the result of a Google Search, and I apologize that it was bad information. It came up the AI overview box - should have been safe.

And no I don't do porn sites!!

Lies!!

Yea sadly AI is not up to speed on determining if something is junk or a scam or whatnot.
Almost all the answers I can get from any AI search have questionable info in them.

Lies!!

YEA! He does Orange tractor Porn all the time!

Elliott did nothing wrong, I double checked and got the same number he did. So Im thinking microsoft has scammers and hackers working as a side gig, not the company, thought I am starting to think, half of India's national income comes from hackers

Oh my goodness!
All of those Ad's, posts, and threads, are NOT microsoft.
I started being a Microsoft Beta tester back in the day of Windows for workgroups 3.11 (1993)
I even had a email that ended in Microsoft.com.
Microsoft quit using phone numbers for support just shortly after (Windows 95) because of scammers and hackers.

They are scammers that have propagated the same number over and over, there is also the same Ad's, posts, and threads with the same numbers for Gmail password resets.
They are all scams and they are not perpetrated by Microsoft and Google.

AI is only as good as the data that it uses to generate the information you request. Very little of that data is verified as true and accurate.

You'll have to dig deep into when you made the email as to what the Questions were then, what they were along the way and what they are now.
It sucks to not remember the "right info" for accounts.
I use a password program to keep all of them in order.

There is mutiple ways to recover the email, you just have to try the different ways.

Do you have any current access to the email via Phone, computer, tablet?

Hell that was made 20 years ago, Im lucky I can remember if I had coffee this morning
And no I am blocked out of everything connected with them

I don't know if this will help, but maybe it will. From Microsoft.com


1. Have a working email
You'll need a working email account that you can access. We'll use this account to send you information about your request. You can use any active email account, even one belonging to a friend or relative. If you don't have another email account that you can access, you can create a temporary outlook.com account for free by selecting Create one at the Microsoft account sign inpage.

Note: The working email account you provide will only be used to contact you about your account recovery form and won't be used for any other purpose.
2. Get your information ready
Collect as much information as you can about any Microsoft services you may have used with this account. The more information you can include when filling out the form, the better the chance you'll have of regaining access to your account.

Answer as many questions as you can as thoroughly as possible. If you're not sure, guessing is ok—wrong answers don't count against you. When you get to a question that lets you "add more," fill in as much information as you are able.

You'll be asked questions that are specific to the account you're trying to recover.

If you used the account with any of the products and services below, expand a section to see more information on questions that can be asked.


Outlook.com or Hotmail.com accounts

• We'll ask you questions about your contacts and email subject lines. Check with friends and family that you may have corresponded with from that account for help.
• Email subject lines need to be exact.
• When you enter your email address, keep in mind that some domains may be country specific such as @outlook.co.uk.
• If you've had your account for several years, the details on file may not match your current situation, so think about what you may have entered when you first signed up. Is it possible that you moved or changed your name?
