[Fredslist] Microsoft account password change

[Barry Pulchin]

Call The official Microsoft tel at listed on google.  This appears to be a scam and phishing expedition.

Subject: Re: [Fredslist] Microsoft account password change


Hi Gothamites,

   Out of the blue about an hour ago I got a call from Microsoft w/ pre-recorded message it was shutting itself
out from me.  The reason was unclear.  Does that mean I'd be unable to use my computer altogether?

    You can't speak to anyone there, and further pre-recorded dialog options contained no useful suggestions re what
to do.  I was asked to create several more passwords to re-access them, to no avail; just got about 5 repeat replies re
try signing in again - which was always rejected.  Reminds me of the movie Groundhog Day (but that was more fun) !

     Has anyone been through this?  And/or, does anyone have suggestions what I can do?  Their system
is about as clear as mud.

     Thank you thank you thank you for any advice or help you can offer ~ ~

     Very best,

        [cid:AOLP.DWEB.636964747283557205]
