MS... blocked from "community" for not giving cell number
MS "community" for cell phone users only?
or those willing to give 24 hour a day access to MS
after something like.. 20 years of using the MS discussion boards... they froze my account/outlook and will not say why, vague hints of it being hacked but... nothing definite
they say I have to have a cell phone to "verify" my account... it won't, they say use a friend phone number... LOL
after a month of wasted time
with reps who really don't seem to know what they are doing
told
"you refused to fill out the form to reclaim your account"
I did
"you didn't give us your last email address"
I did and... that is different from "you refused to fill out the form to reclaim...."
I filled the form out but many of the questions did not apply to my use
then they want a credit card number for an "easier" shopping experience?
friends have told me they are receiving both calls and texts saying from "MS" trying to sell them some service or offer help with their computers for a large fee.... said, over seas, poor English
said... MS says it is not them calling but the callers have personal and software info
so... no cell phone number I can (or want to) give to MS
I'm blocked from the big sharing teaching/learning/loving community?
with the exploitation of personal information
I suspect more people will refuse to give personal information
especially if the information is not protected...
and, some do not have cell phones
it seems insane....
no way past the poor English incompetent "support"?
though... I may find I no longer need the MS "community"
