McAfee Antivirus Total protection 2 yrs. Using my ***** ***************** TO make purchases through a PayPal. Called the 1 815 957 4723 to cancel the subscription. Constantly hung UP on. They are FRAUDULENTLY using my Gmail account to order and purchase this Anitvirus software each and every month. On the 2nd of every month for the amount of $561.24. My identity was stolen through Meta Facebook and their using my identity and Gmail by bitcoin payments online. Or any other ONLINE currency. Very complex situation here.

The e-mail in question contains these rather suspicious claims:

*"We have received 48 complaints about your e-mail"

*"(5) suspicious viruses are detected"

*"ATTENTION: Your device may be at risk"

*"We have noticed multiple suspicious activities in the last 24 hours. Immediate action is required to avoid data leakage."

(McAfee anti-virus has identified the site in question as being "suspicious.")

I received an email about my McAfee membership which was due in December, which I paid. I received a notice from McAfee Security Alliance telling me my membership expires today 11/13 and will automatically renew for $403.44. I called the number they provided and told them I didn't sign up for anything and what information were they were going to use for automatic payment because I didn't have a debit card. I was told that it was going to come from my checking account and I told them I didn't authorize this. They asked if I wanted to cancel and when I said yes he asked if I was near my computer because he needed me to open up a browser. I told them I was not going to do that and I hung up.

I received an invoice for $599 for product renewal for Mcafee software. I have never purchased any of these products before. I called the customer support number provided on the invoice and the person on the other line asked me to download a zip file before they could process my cancelation of the purchase. This felt weird, so I hung up and did not download the file. I called the customer support number listed on Mcafee's website, the person I talked to here said that is not their normal process for refunding money. I then forwarded the email to their spam team and called my bank.

I received an email saying an McAfee order was completed and I would see the invoice of $276.90 come out of my bank in 24-48 hours. Email was from Josef Ralph with a phone number at the bottom to call to cancel. I did not order anything from McAfee. The phone number was 816-297-0123 in Adrian, Mo. But to cancel I had to use a laptop or desktop. I did give my name and the invoice number. That is all but told him, I was not at either. He’s been calling from New York on another number that I also have blocked. I had two voicemails I tried to listen to but it was a direct call back to him. And after I hung up ready to call my bank he was still on the line. I hung up again then I alerted my bank, and the local police department. They all assured me it was a scam. And said I should contact you also. Thanks

Email said McAfee account has been reinstated and activated and 389 dollars debited from my bank account. No money had actually been debited. He wanted to put control software on my computer to fill out the refund paperwork - which I did not allow him to do. I have never used McAfee software so I knew that this was a scam.
