I know that the number 1-888-226-1622 has been posted and taken down, but what more scary is the fact that the scammers are moving on to an encyclopedia website called Scholarpedia and purposefully changing the info to trick people.

And here's the website: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/User_talk:Microsoft_Office_customer_support_phone_number_18882261622_Technical_Service_phone_number
I'm not exactly sure if this is the scammers indirect way of luring others to get scammed, but either way, someone should take a look at it.

There are spambots ran by scammers to spam wiki sites. Here’s an example of a screenshot of spambots targeting a wiki site called Allegro Wiki File:MediaWiki recent changes spam by cold-callers.png - Wikimedia Commons
In the page you linked to, it shows a commonly used page template that scammers often use to spam on wikis.
@Scambaiter956#53156 Oh lol I just assumed the number was already out of service… if not, then I guess I’ll call them later today and see what they say
@atomicdragon136#53159 I think what’s even more annoying is the fact that they copy paste the same information at least a hundred times.
@mangomonster#53211 be ready to talk to whole lot of different ppl even ones that sound legit but still want some sort of payment
@mangomonster#53213 It is always like this:
A bunch of keywords (probably for SEO)
Then a list of phone numbers. Or sometimes just keep repeating the same number over and over.
Basically, it looks like a big garbled mess.
This is a perfect example of why you should never blindly trust what you find on the Internet as absolute truth.
