Spam from McAfee

Jump to solution

Received an email about McAfee charging $349.89 to my account. The subject of the email was "Thank you for your order!" Showing as if it was coming from Support Team. The email it came from is piasaugust3524@gmail. It has an invoice date and order number. says to call +1(888)285-0265 to cancel. That they were going to send an activation link. My email was showing as BCC. I contacted McAfee support through my online account. Wasn't about to call that number. Appeared to be a scam, and it was confirmed that it was a scam. Reporting this email piasaugust3524@gmail. Would like for my email to be checked to make sure it's not leaked in the darkweb.

Dear girl25,

Look at you wrote, that mail address, you see? Next time you see this, go a Factory Reset from your brand, and carefully install your trusted e-mail adress and create a couple of more e-mails for regulairy things.

Keep your MAIN address only for McAfee.
