This just started with me recently, that i am going to be automatically billed to my Pay Pal account for $469.00 for an upgrade to a McAfee account on the computers that i have, and use.
And i haven't started any account with McAfee.
All sorts of scams are trying to get $$$$$ out of us.
Everyone, beware.
I get multiples of that type of scam every day.
Funny thing lately with many of them. My name is Brad and my main email address starts with "brads". Somehow out there in scammerland, or the dark web or whatever, someone decided based on my email address that my name is Johnson Brads and that false information has gone a bit viral with them. So I get emails every day about an invoice to a customer named Johnson Brads for McAfee or Geek Squad or the like that starts out "Dear Johnson". There's not a high likelihood of getting taken by a scam if they can't even get your name right in their emails to you!
Here is the latest one recieved today:
