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 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:(

    I received a similar email from "The Microsoft Defender Team" on 8/16/2021. I, too, did not call the 800 number given. The "charge" was for $399.00. I ordered nothing from Microsoft.

    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.
