I've been scammed in the past. I fell for the microsoft partner scam when it first started going around, and then I got scammed in an on;line venture, that one cost me 10K.

Now I ask how likely is this to be real

Does the IRS/Revenue Canada use calls threatening a fraud investigation, when they specify all their communication is in writing?

Does Microsoft care about me as an individual? Not likely.

Why would a stranger offer to pay off my debts?

It's easy to get sucked in, especially when we're already vulnerable.
