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.

    My inclination is to just ignore/delete/block this message, but....they say they've charged my card.  Bogus?  Or do I need to do something proactive?

    Indian - not Geronimo though - accents are a dead giveaway.  Number has

    Florida listed as the state of origin.
