MicroSoft Download will Damage my Computer

Tags: Community, Mac, Microsoft

I am requesting a refund for the download of MicroSoft I bought for my MAC this morning. When I open the download I receive this message:

Microsoft_Office_16.59.22031300_BusinessPro_Installer.pkg” will damage your computer. You should move it to the Trash

I’ve talked with my IT department at Bowling Green State University and have been advised to delete this purchase. It is very unclear how to contact customer service for an immediate refund/purchase cancelation.

Where did you purchase this download? What is the download? Who do you want a refund from? Hard to offer any help without more information.

Does this sound familiar?

“Steps.
Download Microsoft_Office_2019_VolumeLicense.pkg.
Install Volume License pkg.
Download the installer package which you want from the official link below.
Install the pkg that you download.
All your office apps have been activated.”

That’s a cracked pirate version of Office. It’s also a box of chocolates where you don’t know what you will get. Folk fall for this over and over and you will read later they lost everything as it often has spyware, ransomware or something nasty inside.
