Scam Description
I received an email from Elizabeth J. Crossland that my McAfee subscription had been renewed for $409.09. I had never used McAfee. It had a invoice # 8JVKNS8P-37698688. It said the payment had already been processed. There was an number included in the email that I called. When I spoke to the person who answered the phone I told him that I did not order this subscription. He said I subscribed in the past but I had not. He said I would have to download an app on my computer or phone to cancel. When I told him I wasn’t going to download an app but told him he could send me an cancelation form he got upset. He was insistent and I ended up hanging up the phone. I also checked my credit card statements and didn’t see any charges related to the subscription. The email said the payment would post within 48 hours so I will keep checking my accounts.
