Received an email about an order I had placed ref # GPMLC-SLKHJ6-cEph. I called the above number and they said the company was Geek Squad. I asked them what the order was for and they said computer protection. I asked which type of computer PC or MAC and they said "all computers".

They wanted me to agree to a screen share of my bank account at which point I told them that this was a scam as I went through the same thing from "Amazon" - a purchase I never made ($1,000 iPhone).

Pushing email used to get me to call a phone number and get info. Large charge made me question wether I have actually gone to geek squad or my info was stolen (I have never used their services). I called phone number and the line has someone pick up identifying themselves as geek squad. I immediately hung up and wrote the review here.

I received an email from Michael Rivera that my order was confirmed subscription renewal for Geek Squad. I do not nor have I ever had an account with this business or have ever given them a call and given my information. When I did call the number provided, they wanted to get into my computer to access it and said they had to do this in order to cancel. I could barely understand them because of their strong accent, but did not proceed because they should already have my information if I really ordered anything. I have not gotten any deduction from my bank yet. Here is the email I received.

Received email from GeekASquad stating that they are automatically renewing my subscription for a PC. I never had a subscription from them. They said they can cancel if I provided information for them to connect to my computer; Ah!! that's the catch. I told them I would sue them for any renewal and that I was providing their information to the Better Business Bureau for Fraud. The caller's language is SouthEast or Indian subcontinent. They also have an invalid email 21@GeekASquad InC.

The cost of the subscription renewal was $221.18

Guy sounded pretty upset...too bad creep!

They claimed they were renewing a service. I didn’t remember signing up for Greek squad and they said to cancel the service they needed me to download an app so they could access my phone and tell me what to do to cancel the service. They kept trying to get me to access my bank account through Apple Pay and I told them I’m not putting in my bank information. They said then try my debit card. Luckily my back devoted my debit card without calling then. They were able to access my credit cards because the app they were able to see everything. This happened a few hours ago. I don’t see any attempts on my credit cards as of right now. I finally gave up and said I would dispute this with my credit card company because what they were trying to do made no sense and hung up

I was sent an email from Geek Squad saying a bill would renew for the amount of 581.00 tomorrow. It also said, I should contact the number listed to cancel the subscription. When I called it was a foreigner, who asked for an invoice number. I immediately knew it was a scam when he verified an address that I hadn't lived at the time of the invoice. When I told him I was reporting him to the ScamPulse.com he hung up in my face. Do Not Click ON THE Link!! It is a phishing scam!!

I time when I received the above e-mail, I was freaking out, and I knew that I did not have a subscription with Geek Squad because I cancelled it when I purchased my printer in 2020, but then I was panicking and I did not bother to check my credit card first to see if there was any charges in the amount $489.99, so I called the phone number that was provided. I spoke with a live person and it sounds like it was from INDIA. I went along with the conversation and when he ask me if I was using my mobile phone, my answer was NO and he informed me that I need to use my cell phone so that we can continue the conversation while I was driving on the way to the grocery store, because he informed me that he provided me too much credit on my account, instead giving me the credit of $489.99, he said that he accidentally entered $1,489.99 and that I had to go to the grocery store and return the $1,000.00, that's when I hung up.

I contacted my financial institution last night to inform them the scenario and to date they are still working on it. I am not able to log into my account at this time until MALWAREBYTES that I have subscription for virus will be finished.

I got an email from them this morning saying if I didn’t call to cancel my subscription I was going to charged $539.99 for renewal. So of course anyone who see that will call. I called I gave them the invoice number and they had my name and address info. I told him I didn’t know what this was for and wanted to cancel and he said I needed a computer to do so. I told him I didn’t have one and he got mad and started being rude and raised his voice and then I asked for a manager and he hung up.
