- High charge: $488.33 is far above typical McAfee pricing.
- Fake phone number: The number is intended to trick you into calling scammers who may try to access your device or steal payment info.
- Illogical renewal policy: ""Automatically renews after deactivation"" makes no sense.
- No proof of real transaction: No payment processor, no last 4 digits, and no way to verify the invoice.
âś… What You Should Do:
- Do NOT call the phone number listed.
- Do NOT reply or click any links.
- Mark the email as phishing or spam in your email provider.
- Check your bank account independently if you're unsure about a charge.
