They said they were from Microsoft and they were charging $299.00 to unblock my account
I did call the number and could barely hear the man speak so I asked him to speak up. I asked what company he was from and he said something about Windows. I asked what country he was in. He told me to stop yelling at him so I told him I'll just report him and I hung up.

Said they will deduct money from my banking account, I don't think so. Do not return their call.
