The first was by phone. He made up some obviously phony Microsoft department who needs info from me. I laughed at him a little and rudely hung up.
And two scams in my e-mail. The three important things involved in spotting scams 1) They make up some vague over-simplified name for the division they’re calling from. 2) using bad, ungrammatical English sentences. And 3) More than one typo in the message. This is the most obvious one. An ungodly huge corporation like Microsoft is not going to let a document leave their office without proofreading it. When you see two or three typos the red flag should go up.
