  1. Scammed by Microsoft...


    So... just sharing what I sent the feedback bit and will be sharing where I can because I have no idea how to proceed.

    I was recently double charged for a purchase which pushed me into an informal overdraft... The erroneous charge has since been sorted. But that is just the start of my issue. I purchased an original Xbox title, a 360 title and DLC for said 360 game and its sequel. Despite paying £49.91, I only had access to the original Xbox title. Around 16% of the overall charge. I tried to request a refund and only 3 of the 8 parts of the bulk purchase were issued a refund, which is bad anyway... But my emails show only 1 piece of DLC was refunded, so far only the cash for that 1 DLC pack is in my bank (£6.79 / about 15.5% of the overall purchase). As well as that rubbish, I received a threatening email along with the first refund threatening that they could temporarily or permanently suspend my account for false refund requests... I managed to get a call back from a lovely bloke who said that the woman who sent the delightful email was VERY WRONG in sending that, and assured me I would get a refund if I sent in a refund request form no questions asked. Well, I sent in the request, and got a denial back. Oh, and the last email said I can't request anymore refunds now. So that is great. I will be sharing this on social media, and what not. I will get my cash back one way or another. But right now its more the principal that a mega corporation essentially stole cash from a lad in the north of England who doesn't have a lot of money... it sucks. GET IT SORTED. I will make up a bit of the cash by selling my Xbox Series S anyway.

    I don't think I will get any help, just needed to vent... And I can't be the only one in this situation.

    :)

    Reset Alert Confirmation?

    Obvious scam is obvious. Why would Microsoft ask for your password and details it smells of a scam.

    My whole point is nothing is ever stupid until it bites you in the butt, and then people are all over it like stink on phew as if they're incapable of such stoopid acts. Thing is, I've never met a man that wasn't a mistake prone dum @.

    @Truth, your exactly right, unfortunately now he needs it. No different then any other type of document required to return a product. If I pay interact for something, loose the receipt, Im SOL... my fault, no one else. This situation is a bit different
    since the OP paid for the item and it got lost in transition, but until it gets back from repair, he has nothing else to go on. Paperwork and a paper trail (literal) are still required.

    Wow that blows. Seems there should be some kind of paper trail you can follow to see what happened to it. Do a little investigating.
