IN May 24 , i had a possible hacking with a notice to lock my PC or call a number for Microsoft Security or else.  3 0r 4 times. Shut PC machine down and re booted then ran  Nortpn security.  No findings.  Then the Mocrosoft Security  THREE MORE TIMES. So I called norton. Clink Click. Got connected to company called AZURE . They assured me Azure was part part of NORTON 360.  For $299 they came in my PC and said they fixed all and someone got my IP address. They fixed.   I paid.  But guess what ? It happened two more times AFTER they said they fixed. 

 Is AZURE linked to Norton by contract?  Was I scammed ?  Was Azure using Norton as a front??????   Please reply.  If scammed can Norton pursue them for false info????????

Thanks

Microsoft Azure Web Sites is a web-hosting platform based on cloud computing, a legitimate service developed by Microsoft. It supports multiple technologies and programming languages (such as .NET, PHP, node.js, Python, and so on). As part of creating a website, the site's URL is assigned a subdomain of azurewebsites[.]net.

In various for-pay tiers, a website can be assigned one or more custom domains, however, this service is often misused by scammers and malware (malicious software) distributors. In this particular case, it is misused to promote a tech-support scam.

Maybe, you called Microsoft Azure?  
Microsoft Azure is one of the leading cloud services used by developers and organizations worldwide. With an easy subscription model, Azure is convenient and popular among its users. However, Azure has also become famous among cyber attackers that use it for phishing scams to exploit protected data. (Google)
