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.

I received an email stating that my

Geek Squad will expire on

September 24, 2021, today, and that it will be auto renewed for $399.99.

I called the phone number 818-963-9382.

They said I had to login to my computer and download AnyDesk. I was leary already and should not of done that.

I kept saying just cancel the renewal, he said it would be canceled after I take the next steps.

Then he had me go to my notes, on my computer and ask to verify my name address phone number. And $400 the amount of renewal fee. And type it out.

to verify my identity. He told me his name was David Wilson # IWIN2703C97

I fear, because I did that, but then they asked for my bank account to refund me for the whole subscription, I did not give them any bank information. There was nothing to refund, all I was asking was to cancel my renewal. I realized that I was truly being scammed. They said to check my bank account to see the refund that they were sending me. I said I will on another device. They said NO, it has to be on the computer that I downloaded AnyDesk. I said No I am not doing that, this is a scam and then he hung up on me. During the whole conversation, he kept saying he was running out of time and that he had to speak to his supervisor, because I kept questioning him, and saying this is not right. Then since the first person, supposedly David, could not get me to do bank account info, then another person, the supposed Supervisor got on the line to convince me. Oh also he said I sounded so young and asked my age, I told him my age, I was not supposed to do that. This is a huge scam. I am worried cause of the info I did give them.

After the call, I called Best Buy directly to ask about the renewal and that I was just scammed. They said I did not have a renewal. I should of called them first.

Best Buy had me send them the email.

They are going to report this also.

Please Beware.

Eventually the scammer wanted access to my bank account to take my money.

Email received was thanking me for a purchase of software that I did not make. They indicated this was up for renewal and I knew our family didn't purchase it. Also, the email was coming from an individual so it was suspect (Adam Strauss) with a different email address ([email protected]).

Wanted to alert you and others of this suspected fraud. Thanks for your help to investigate and would appreciate you letting me know of the resolution.

I received and email on 9/2/21 stating that an automatic 3 year renewal of a 3 year contract starts on 9/1/21.

I never authorized this 3 years ago.

I called the number and got a person who says I probably forgot paying 3 years ago.

He wanted to have me open google chrome to send me a form.

Thats when I hung up.

Can you please look into this

Thank you
