It came up that our ip address had been hacked in our computer. We needed to call this no. At Microsoft before doing anything else.

2 emails from --2 different individual email addresses in the past 2 weeks, saying I owe $499.99 for NORTON-

I have NEVER ORDERED or thought of ordering Make sure I am not charged for this!!

Thank you

I received an email about pre-configured payment of $239.70. I contacted the number provided and asked about the geek squad. I indicated that I wanted to know from what account this money was being taken from. The person on the other end said " you have never heard of this and want to deny the transaction, correct." I indicated that I believed it was a scam. The person on the other end hung up.

Billing team

First and foremost, the formatting in this email is inconsistent and does not read as a professional business/billing email. Secondly, the sender and recipient emails are weird. I did call the number, but someone answered but did not introduce themselves by name or title and stayed on the line for a full minute asking hello, hi, are you there before they finally hung up. When they called me back, the caller ID listed EGG HBR CITY NJ.

I was first called last year about a extended warranty from the supposedly local Geek Squad at Best Buy, when all I was looking for some information as far as the warranty cost because I had filed a claim with the local Geek Squad to get repairs completed or advise on how I could make the repair. The man I spoke to at the Geek Squad had a heavy accent which made it hard to understand him, and I remember than that he kept trying to charge me for warranty service when I still had a manufacturers warranty in force. At that point I just hung up the phone and never heard back from them.

Today I get a email from these same people claiming to be Geek Squad Techs, and the email stated that they have completed payment for a Transaction that I never authorized, but supposedly it also states that I have chosen the automatic renewal option for Membership for the next 5 years, so when I called them on the toll free number supplied, it sounded exactly like the same person I spoke with last year. Again this guy was trying to get personal information from me which I refused to do, so then I hung up the phone. A few minutes later I get a phone call from someone in Hawaii, and I suspect it was the same guy because I don't know anyone in Hawaii !

not sure how this came about, but i received an email from PayPal that I've a Invoice from Microsoft Subscription (MS-5454823). this is and was totally unsolicited. as far as i know i was able to cancel the invoice. but did not call the included number to stop further invoicing out of fear that by calling i would be put on some calling scam.

I found 5 different places with varying acronyms .com charging me $39.99 to $54. CHECK YOUR STATMENTS monthly. I had to call or "chat" each one for refunds and cancellations. Supposedly this is for "internet" help. I have been on computers over 40 years and certainly do not need/or authorize these charges!

I receive many kinds of these bills. I would just like one address to send these to. Also the ones that say I’m in someone’s will and have been left a fortune.

I always go back and look at how many people this letter was sent to.

I received an email that i owe money don't know who or what this is.

I have never used geek squad.

Subject: Automatic renewal of NortonLifeLock (USD 523.29). I have NEVER subscribed to Norton, in any form.

Contact: Called phone no. in email. Scammer was obviously in Muumbi (not unusual these days). Like a fool I talked to him for 1hr 15mins.

When I really started to question him about what he was having me do on my computer he got somewhat belligerent.

The Scam: In the process he asked me to type in the amount to be refunded, when I did it came up to be 5233.29. I believe he put in the extra digit. He claimed that amount had already been transfered (less than instantly) to my credit card and I would have to send the excess back to them.He also mentioned several times that, because I claimed more refund than they "owed" me, the FDIC had locked my account. Then he said the "MAGIC WORD", I would have to send the excess funds to them in the form of a GIFT CARD. Yeah right. I hung up.

I called the number listed in the email. I gave the person the invoice number that was in the email. He asked if I'm in front of a computer and that I need to open Chrome and enter a url in the browser. I told him why do i need to do that and why can he cancel it over the phone. He said that I need to fill out the form in order to cancel it. I said no and that I will report them to the ScamPulse.com and he said to [censored] Off.

NEVER had an account with Geek Squad ! I did not call to cancel something I never was enrolled

I got an email from GeekSquad with a bill of $389.99 about service renewal. I called the number and they answered and hang up, twice, after I asked them to check what is the renewal.

I know they are fake, but I want to validate them. I called the number at the bottom of the email (see above) asking what is this service renewal invoice and they hung up.

When downloading a new Microsoft Office Suite, an alert came on the screen that an error had occurred loading the software & that I needed to call an 800 number to complete the download. After calling the number, I was told that the software could not load because of malware on my new computer. They tried to charge me $300 for an antivirus software called Webroot which they downloaded on my computer via a remote software program. I looked up ms office scams & found that this is a current scam running. I took my computer to a local repair shop & had all software wiped off my hard drive. The repair person said that they had put on malware & could access all of my data.

I keep receiving a messege asking me not to give link to anyone. And anyone asking for it is tryouts by to access my account. It says we don’t need this link to identify me. Cand then it says tap the link below. Cash does not randomly contact you.

I got a message saying that my computer had viruses. I called the 800 number & got my computer cleaned up. The charge was $300.00, which was paid by a cruise line gift card. Within days I got a call from the cruise line telling me that it was a scam and refunded my money. OK, I got my computer cleaned & my money was refunded. The problem is this "computer repair" person keeps calling me. Over the last year or so he has called me hundreds of times, I have told him not to call but he persists.

First Call they said the received a message from Microsoft about a computer problem. charged a fee to have lifetime to maintain computer>

Second time a few weeks later , tells me somebody stole my IP address $800 to provide a new one.
