I received a scam email regarding order confirmation for the above this morning - One year subscription for $299.99.  I did not order this and I did not call phone number listed(1-888-601-2806). 

I just wanted to advise you of this email.  I have received a similar SCAM last year.

    I just received the same scam from Microsoft Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Firewall & Network Protection that said I purchased today for $399.00 on 24-08-2021 at 2:52pm.

    With a phone number to contact as +1 (877) 542-1879.

    I don't bother call this number after reading all the similar reports.

    I received this same scam today, only my charge was to be $399! I know it was a scam because the guy that answered the phone, told me I ordered it a month ago. I knew that was a lie, because I haven't been on my computer in at least 6 months. I also threatened to get an attorney involved and he quickly hung up! Lol! Obviously these are people who can't get an honest job:(
