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 use - https://www.spydialer.com/default.aspx when i search to validate a phone number. The MICROSOFT number they gave was "not found"(bogus). However, they are taking more time to make the header(s) and text to appear more believable. Be careful, don't believe anything unless thoroughly verified. https://www.spydialer.com/default.aspx for any questionable phone numbers, NOT FOUND results are almost always BS.

    I received one too, but for $399. I guess the scammer thinks I am the bigger sucker. :(

    I wonder if an arrest would be made if.....someone said I need 433 Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Firewall & Network Protection packages for my new mail order purchasing system for 433 computers to sell Joe Biden's Climate Monitoring Devices (Empty Baby Food Jars with Lids @$49.95 apiece) . However, I will need them to appear in person to receive payment of (433 x $399) $172, 767 and to sign a maintenance contract worth another $500,000, paid in full up front. Contact us at (investigator's bogus phone# ) to make arrangements.

    Should work, doncha think?
