Same as above - they are going to withdraw $299 from my account unless I call back. These scam calls are becoming epidemic!
Says they're making an automatic withdrawal of $299.99 from my account for 'your Microsoft' and for me to call the number to have it stopped. I called back and a man with a heavy Asian Indian accept asked whether I wanted to cancel the subscription or leave it and I asked him his name and told him I needed it for our IT department since he had reached the federal government and he hung up instantly. I have had them call on my work number for the federal government also.

Says they're making an automatic withdrawal of $299.99 from my account for 'your Microsoft' and for me to call the number to have it stopped. Knowing it was a scam, I called the number and when someone answered, it was a heavy Indian accent with boiler-room sounds (i.e., other scammers making the same call) in the background. Decorum prohibits me from letting you know what I told him.

Like all other listed complaints, I received two calls on 4/5/2019 asking for a callback before they withdrew $299.99 from my account for Microsoft Firewall Protection. After a heated discussion with an Indian accented guy, I kept asking him questions and finally told him that I did not think he was on the up and up. When I would not agree to sit in front of my computer to follow his instructions for filling out a cancellation form, he angrily informed me the $299.99 was going to be deducted from my account.
