Sounds like a brilliant scam to me.
Not a scam. It's a genuine bill from Azure! I had warned people about this a few weeks ago. The CP article details explicitly mentioned this too and advised people to remove the service early enough lest they got billed.

I had posted a thread here warning people of this very thing. I deleted the service before the trial expired. Wish you had seen that thread. Anyway you are not the only one to have got bitten by this.

Well I didn't get billed either but I did remove my app a few weeks ago. I don't know if I'd have got billed had I not done that. Have you checked the email address associated with the .NET passport/Live Id? It may be different from your signup email. And perhaps that's what they use for communication.

My latest book : C++/CLI in Action / Amazon.com linkI don't even remember how to get back there to remove it. :/ EDIT - Found it. Deleted it.

Jystad, 2001I did the first contest and then signed up for azure during the 2nd contest but never uploaded a new project. At the time, I saw that the old project was still there but couldn't figure out how to delete it and it said read only so I guessed it wasn't active. It was the project from the first contest that incurred the charges. If I had figured out how to delete that project, I would have been in the clear since I never actually uploaded the project for the second contest.

I see the billing but no usage stats similar to AWS. Does Azure have that?
I'm not familiar with AWS but you can see usage stats for each project by going to the billing portal and then clicking "view my bills" on the right column and then "View Online Bill/Invoice". From there you can click on another link to see bandwidth and processing hours usage.
