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.

    7/14/2021 I received an e/m from Microsoft Defender Team today for 1yr subscription. They gave cust #, e/m ID, Inv id. the price is now $300.00. Contact number from them is +1-866-443-0944. I did not contact them, checked for scam info and found this to be a scam. Beware folks. Check everything before you call any number you don't recognize.

    Got the same scam today. Up to 399.99 now (inflation IS bad LOL). Disturbing thing is I was addressed by name. Usually these scams/phishing attempts don't do that :-(
