I just got one today and was so glad to see this post before I responded to the email. I knew something was wrong as the grammar and spelling was wrong in some places. Also it has very decorative colors and Microsoft branding is usually quite plain and simple.
SCAM - Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Firewall & Network Protection
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.
