Help! How to contact Microsoft to report counterfeit to exchange for legit copy?
I have a friend who is not very computer savvy, and purchased a copy of Windows 7 from craigslist. The purchase was made in person. The box with shrinkwrapped and even has a certificate on it.
She showed it to me, and I spotted it immediately to be a fake. It is an extremely well produced counterfeit, even with a fake hologram.
The seller, obviously, no longer asks the phone or email. I suspect the person is a scammer who likes to take extremely high risk to meet buyers and not worry about getting busting (sooner or later).
I recall that it is possible to report this to Microsoft and show them the counterfeit. If there is a reasonably looking counterfeit, you are supposed to get a free genuine copy for reporting this.
Is this correct? If so, how do I do this for her?
