About this tag
The 'do not call' tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about telephone scams, including fraudulent calls impersonating Microsoft or its partners. One thread highlights a case where a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner was penalized for involvement in phone-based identity theft schemes. The content explains that Microsoft Partner status does not imply official representation, but rather indicates the company met certain requirements and paid fees. This tag is relevant for users seeking information on avoiding phone scams, understanding Microsoft's partner program, and protecting against identity theft related to unsolicited calls.
I recently published a video on YouTube about false computerized phone calls and identity theft. Interestingly enough, Corrine over at SecurityGarden reports that Microsoft removed one of their Gold Certified Partners over a very similar issue: telephone scams.
