When you ask how low Microsoft can sink they always manage to find a new bottom. This is a company without morals or ethics of any kind and it shows in how they treat their users. They are now using the same methods as criminals to keep you using Bing.

We will see if this has any real effect on the scammer problems of this platform. I am not convinced and when it comes down to it, Durov has never been truly serious about busting the criminal element of this platform.
