Some people on some forums are sharing free Office 365 student subscriptions
A while ago, I reported this to one of the moderators of the Office 365 community, didn't hear anything back. There are forums that give out free Office 365 subscriptions to people, they all belong ...
I also agree, HotCakeX!
If you have seen any posts like this on the Tech Community, please feel free to link them here so we can investigate this further and purge this type of action from the community.
If this has happened elsewhere in the Microsoft Sphere, then following the usual reporting process is the right call.
Thanks, of course this is happening on another forum, Not Microsoft community/forum.
I can provide full details about it but I'm not sure what is the "usual" reporting process of such things.
- Hi HotCakeX
In that case, I would personally report it via the Counterfeit Software report

Best, Chris- Thank you, I tried following the 6 steps in there but to be honest most of them are not applicable, mainly because I didn't actual purchase a counterfeit product.
this act of them is more like distributing keygens, cracks etc. goes against Microsoft's terms of service. (they do also distribute those tools)- Hi HotCakeX
I guess, there could be a few ways to possible escalate this.
1.) Open a support ticket requesting where to send the information too (I.e. legal)
2.) There is a site here which points to the email address piracy@microsoft.com however I don't know whether this address is still in use

3.) You could look to report it here as part of a technical support scam

- It's a rather old and big forum, run by people that have no relation with Microsoft.
Nothing related to Microsoft sphere at all.
