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.

    Just received the same email but mine cost $399 and I was instructed to call if I didn't place the order. Doing a little research to find out what this is all about and found this thread. THANK YOU! So sorry we're all getting it and hope no one gets scammed.

    One must wonder, while there must be SOME people that are fooled into sending hundreds of dollars to these scammers. I simply still have a hard time believing anyone would be so sillily fooled.

    Same here. Received an invoice for $399. Did not order it but I did try to call 1-855 7653178 to cancel. A big mistake.

    So whatever you do, don’t call

    I received the same scam email with my name including middle initial in the email. Trying to think of the source. I did make a recent purchase from Dell.com wonder if they have unscrupulous people working for them.
