Scam Description
The email seems really legit. When opened it looks like a real invoice from Geek Squad, stating that a subscription has automatically been renewed for $399.99. Then when you look at the address that it is sent from, it is a personal Gmail (in my case) email address. This has been confirmed as a scam by the real Geek Squad, that will come up on caller ID as Best Buy or Geek Care. If you allow them to in-link to your computer they will install the CSRSS Trojan Virus, which will disable all of the computer’s Microsoft drivers and allow the hackers/scammers to track everything you do, and sites you go to. I had to get the real Geek Squad’s help in stopping this.
