How an earth are you supposed to create a ticket in Azure? I'm trying my best to create a ticket for fraudulent bill, but I for the love of God cannot find any way to contact support, or create a ticket. I'm stuck in this forever loop of non helpful troubleshooting and there's just no way to create a ticket or contact a person.

Hi Markus,

Please carefully follow my instructions below to create billing support request and avoid getting stuck in endless loop.

Please let me know that you were able to create ticket or if you had any issues.

1. Navigate to this link to start the process:

2. Click Create a support request button at top

8. Fill out screen, Summary, Problem type, Problem subtype, then click Next button at bottom

9. There will be another several second delay, and then some solutions will be displayed (this is similar to above). DO NOT CLICK any of the solutions, instead click on Return to support request button in upper left corner, similar to below

10. Now you are back at support case. Click Next button at bottom to continue to Additional details tab. Fill out information as required, one of the items you may need is your Subscription ID.

You can open separate browser tab and navigate to your subscription in portal, the ID is there, click the copy button to the right of it, then paste it into the box on Additional details tab. Click Next to advance to Review + create tab, then click Create.

You should receive an automated email within a few minutes and then be contacted by support within 1 business day.

Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

Thanks.
