Man who called was Travis Pedro. I said I would call him back and
asked for a phone and after much hesitation got this No. 1-800-231-8572
Orig. phone was shown as not identified. Figured this was a scam. Just a
warning - be on the lookout for these guys. When my husband said we were contaacting Better Business B. they hung up. J.
The real MicroSoft does not call you for any reason.

Glad that you were alert to this scam.
