Bitdefender Ultimate Security (email used was [email protected]) emailed my dad stating they were going to withdraw $379.98 from his bank account on Dec. 2, 2022 for a scheduled renewal. My father does not nor has he ever had this product. There was no answer when I called the number 888-330-7374. The bank has been notified to deny any such amount.

On Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at 4:22 pm, I received an email with an attached receipt addressed to Dear user from Team Geek Squad/ Best Buy with official looking logos. The email was sent from [email protected]. The attached receipt had a Customer ID #, Invoice Number and Order No and a Product Description that was uncomfortably correct but very general. The email said my Geek Squad Care will expire today and will auto-renew for $417 on November 30, 2022 unless I call 808-473-1783 no later than 24 hours before the end of the subscription. I have never contracted with Geek Squad for any kind of service contract so assume this was a phishing email. I also did not call the number as I didn't want these crooks to know their email had actually reached a live person. However, I will be monitoring my bank accounts and credit cards extra carefully. Just so you know, I did try to upload the receipt by using the Upload file arrow but it would not to your site. Somehow we need to figure out a way to stop these creeps and I am glad to see the Better Business Bureau is trying to help. These emails are disturbing, time consuming and scary! Thank you!

They sent an email acting like they were renewing my McCaffee subscription and I needed to call that number that I listed to you. I never had a McCaffee subscription.

I called the number and the guy sounded like he was from India and he said to hang up and he would call me right back and he called me back from a different number from Marathon, Florida. That number was +1 (305) 780-5742. I told him I wasn’t talking anymore because I didn’t feel like this was legitimate, and he hung up on me.

I was originally contacted by the company via a "pop up" ad on my computer-it was supposedly from Microsoft and said there were issues with my computer. There was a number to call, which I foolishly did (again, looked like it was legitimately from Microsoft). There was an attempt to withdraw money from my bank account (again, unfortunately with my permission)-the transaction was denied by the bank (even after several efforts). I spoke with my bank on Monday, had my account "flagged" and requested a new debit card. I did receive an "invoice" from the company saying I had paid for it, which I know I did not. I have received many phone calls from the company since the initial contact despite my repeatedly telling them I was not interested, not to contact me again, and to basically leave me alone. However, they continue to contact me and are now telling me that since I am not interested, I will need to have them remove the installed programs from my computer or I will receive a "bill." Again, I was previously told that I had already paid for it (this was indicated via an invoice and over the phone during one of the many phone calls I received from them). I know without a doubt that I have not paid them anything. Again, my mistake was making the first phone call which I did "in good faith." However, I want them to stop contacting me. What also concerns me about this transaction is that the name of the company changes-one time I was told this, and the next time, it changed.

sent email and it caught me off guard so I called them

18007160886. They claimed to deduct $221 from my account. I told them I didnt have an account and never had. I told them if they did to put the money back in my account. I did not give them any personal info and they wanted me to log into my computer to take control and I refused.

I received multiple emails relating to an "order" or “order confirmation” re the alleged purchase of the McAfee Total Protection software.

I did not order such a product and never have. The emails came from: [email protected].

I checked the phone number the emails provided for supposed “assistance,” 1-808-736-7675, and discovered that the area code is in Hawaii, but that such a number is not recognized.

I called the phone number to cancel and was told I had been given a gift of a free service but was going to have an automatic withdrawl from my checking account, and that I had to get on my computer so that the support staff could talk me through taking their software off my computer. I hung up.

Was upgrading my Disney plus account and pop up came on my TV for potential and to contact Microsoft at 831-223-4368. Called them and they told me to call another internal number for Antihacking Protection at 631-983-6038 due to the type of popup. Called this number and they answered as "Amazon" and needed to 3 $100 Xbox gift cards to add my protection. Went to Best Buy and bought these gift cards and contacted the company back to give them the information so they could add the protection. After I finished speaking with him I knew it was a scam.

Scammer offered to remove a $417 charge but needed access to bank account to make refund. Claimed accident during refund and manipulated to get $40,000.00 in an international wire transfer. I was subsequently contacted by a person claiming to be from the Better Business Bureau who said he was sure he could get the money back within 1-2 days if I cooperate with him. He gave me a 5 digit case number and claimed that ScamPulse.com has been tracking this scam.
