SCAM - Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Firewall & Network Protection

Anonymous

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 just received the same email. Must admit I was a bit panicked as I did not order anything. Glad I checked before calling any phone numbers or responding to the email.

I just got the same email. Of course the phone number failed to give any information when I looked it up. It's just sad the Feds can't/refuse to crack down on these scumbags preying on people.
