  I've never seen one like this before, is this legitimate?

  N ° never click on a link in an email like that.  If there is a problem, go to the site by typing the URL and solve things by doing this.  Most of these links in the email is fake and they are just trying to steal your identity.

  These scam calls are usually of a person representing Windows rather than Microsoft, but in any case, the call was nothing else than a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

  It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.

  Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.

  Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site! Please do not take into account these calls and hang up immediately.

  Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently

  On another note, if you have problems with your computer, please do not hesitate to post a description of the situation and the error messages you received in those forums. We would be happy to help you. (information staff unnecessary or requested !)

• Alleged phone call from Microsoft saying that I had a lot of mistakes on pc

  I was contacted by someone who said he worked for a group on behalf of Microsoft.  He said he had information, based on the responses I got problems I had met, my computer was about to crash and that he wanted to avoid that.  He asked that I hold down the key of Microsoft and the 'r' key who brought up a window 'run '.  Then he asked me enter a few letters.  At this point, I said that I want to talk to a member of the staff of Microsoft.  He said to do and hung up.  Was it a legitimate appeal involving Microsoft?
