Scams

[william webster]

I got a notification from McAfee that my order was completed thru their auto renewal program

Guess what??
I don’t have an account
They have no credit card on file

$399.99 was the cost annually

Watch out for this sort of thing

I never cancel a subscription, I just remove the credit card from the file
No more conversation

Those scam are common, I receive emails from AT&T, Comcast too and I dont even live in USA, also they send mails pretending to be Dominican banks, Never click in the link and call to the number they provide.

Did you check your bank account to be sure?

I revise mine every single day.

Anyway William you were sharp enough to catch an scam attempt.

I fear for the old people who have reduced facilities for math, credit cards and banks.
Those are the ones most vulnerable to getting fooled and sickos have no remorse stealing from them.

 

[william webster]

Nothing to catch really....... they cannot bill me

I get at least 5 a day in my business and hot mail accounts. I just go through and delete them and 20 others about updating or putting my website in 1st place in Google.

If you check the EMAIL it came from its probably NOT McAffee .. the letters "McAffee" may be IN the Email partially , but its some other ridiculous Email address in another Country usually .

I use a program called Msilwasher.
I can look at email headers, the subject and email address of sender before they reach my inbox and it it has an attachment.
I can also blacklist a sender and anything they send id permenetly deleted henceforth.

I use this amazing tool. It's called the human brain. I simply see some bs email and ignore it. I honestly don't even know who is using email besides the US government, as they are in the stone age.

So your using pony express

actually, I really only use messaging apps such as Slack, MS Teams, WhatsApp, depending with whom I am communicating. I despise email, as many people tend to generate lengthy pages of drab with really no focus. It is difficult to remove email from the DNA however.

every time I hear "I love you", I know I am about to be a victim.

I get these emails constantly, I just ignore them.

I get about 3 email scams a week. I probably get at least 8 phone call scams a week as well(when in Canada). I actually like those. It is so much fun to get a rookie scammer and make him want to cry. You can always tell the rookies as they won't hang up when you star telling them about the vile things their family members are performing on you.

My best one was when they where going to call the police on me. Really, is that a win or what.

While you're right, if you click on their **** you may get malware. Never and I mean NEVER click on any of their links.
