Microsoft and my tinfoil journey - by Robert Ross
I’ve been on my couch for four hours today (and several more in the past) trying to unearth why I’ve been charged ~$21 by Microsoft consistently for the past year, because I’d really like someone to actually investigate this journey I’m on. Because there are two outcomes:
This year alone I’ve been charged almost $300 dollars from “Microsoft.” The random credit makes no sense either. The charges are at random times, and the descriptor on the transaction is convincing enough that I thought it was Microsoft.
I’ve had these charges in the past and had no idea what they were – so I cancelled my Amex and had a new one sent to me. But the charges persisted. So I reached out to Microsoft directly to ask what exactly these were.
I provided all versions of my Amex (I have the history of my cards in 1Password) to the support agent, and, to both of our surprises – no transaction for my name, cards, and amounts is in Microsoft’s system. At least that’s what support told me.
Ok good so I’m not the only one confused by this charge. But all of these are community forums and might be dominating the actual answer. What if I remove them and search for only “MSBILL.INFO” on Microsoft’s website.
