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 a similar email from "The Microsoft Defender Team" on 8/16/2021. I, too, did not call the 800 number given. The "charge" was for $399.00. I ordered nothing from Microsoft.

    How do these rotten people ever make money from people whose computers they pop up on with such a goofy set up? Can they actually talk people into giving their debit card and code number??? This was the first I had ever seen such a thing in many years online. Especially after they outright lie and say this is a service you paid for 3 years ago? Are ANY people that stupid?

    Thanks! Think you're right. Probably they ask to verify the card number and info to get into a bank account, since the billing seems "official", but isn't. Glad you alerted people.
