List of Microsoft Certified 3rd Party Support Domain Names - Microsoft Community

this has been frustration of mine time receiving popup messages in browser saying have problem computer , directing me various sites or call phone number or receiving phone calls.

today got popup call phone number claims microsoft support @ url www.geekcustomercare.com, so called number.  when asked person kelly martin on other end prove works microsoft of course not , guess stupid question.  she told me have allow remote computer.  i replied  "not chance because know scam". years ago trust microsoft based on domain name not anymore.

why isn't there list provided on microsoft.com person refer in order validate company or person works microsoft?

the listing should show company names domain names , phone numbers of certified trusted third party contractors.

such list @ least reduce number of phone , web page scams if public aware of list.

you can message says should ring number sort out problems computer scam!

if think might genuine, google telephone number before calling.

microsoft not call unless have requested call.

apart things not working if have problem windows has error messages, event logs , memory dumps in event of error, not have pop ups telling call microsoft support.

sounds might have malware, perform full scan using security software , download (and update)and scan free version of malwarebytes
