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

    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 I purchased Microsoft windows defender and I did not purchase it. This is a scam and I will file a complaint if they take anything out of my account!

    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.

    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.
