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.

    Thanks! Think you're right. Probably they ask to verify the card number and info to get into a bank account, since the billing seems "official", but isn't. Glad you alerted people.
