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 likewise received a scam email regarding a 1 year subscription to Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Firewall & Network Protection. The 1 year subscription was $499.00 with a $100.00 discount for a total price of $399.00. There was also instruction to contact Microsoft at 1 (877) 710-4698 and speak with a customer care representative if this was an unauthorized purchase. Imagine that.

    I just got an email about this. I just got a new computer and thought I might had hit something. I did call, of course someone I couldn't understand. I asked what it was charged to, he said Your card. I said I haven't gave an account number. Proceeded to tell me to cancel I had to go to a website to cancel it. I did freak out til all of that was said. Wasn't going to call, but getting this, I did think I might have hit wrong button. Weird tho, the number I called, no one answered, but yet called me back from a different number. When I hung up, they called back two more times....GRRRRRR!
