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.

    On August 9, 2921 I also recived the same Scam email Letter and invoice on Mircosoft Letterhead a copy of which is below. I contacted the 800 number and immeditley knew it was a sam. What I did not like is the fact tha they claimed to have access to auto pay account that is tied to my bank. It was reporterd to Microsoft.

    I received the same message as well. Of course, I didn't place an order for this software and was even more suspicious when the title of the message was misspelled Windown instead of Windows.
