Victim Location 74120
Type of a scam Online Purchase

Today I received an email from what was represented as the Geek Squad. Announcing that my subscription had expired and my renewal for $299.00 be charged. I have never authorized any payment for subscription from this company. I contacted the Chat portal on the official Geek Squad website and was informed that they were aware of this scam. I also sent information to their Abuse hotline. I was advised to delete the original email. How, the person that answered at the phone listed in the email was very evasive; spoke with accent and broken English. When I questioned him more, he disconnected the call, but did say they were located in San Jose.

Called saying renewal charge of $251.30.

I did buy a norton subscription and have used geek squad.

They used a software teamreviewer.com.

Got my address, phone number.

I sent an email from my personal email account to betterbusinessbureau.gov.org (stupid me!!)

I’ve checked in with my bank, changed passwords to accounts including personal email account.

For part of time, I was working on my government computer so in abundance of caution, called my Agency IT, reported it right away and my computer is being “quarantined.”

I usually hang up right away. Fatigue from caring for elderly parents is my only excuse.

Received an email about an order I had placed ref # GPMLC-SLKHJ6-cEph. I called the above number and they said the company was Geek Squad. I asked them what the order was for and they said computer protection. I asked which type of computer PC or MAC and they said "all computers".

They wanted me to agree to a screen share of my bank account at which point I told them that this was a scam as I went through the same thing from "Amazon" - a purchase I never made ($1,000 iPhone).

Pushing email used to get me to call a phone number and get info. Large charge made me question wether I have actually gone to geek squad or my info was stolen (I have never used their services). I called phone number and the line has someone pick up identifying themselves as geek squad. I immediately hung up and wrote the review here.

I received an email from Michael Rivera that my order was confirmed subscription renewal for Geek Squad. I do not nor have I ever had an account with this business or have ever given them a call and given my information. When I did call the number provided, they wanted to get into my computer to access it and said they had to do this in order to cancel. I could barely understand them because of their strong accent, but did not proceed because they should already have my information if I really ordered anything. I have not gotten any deduction from my bank yet. Here is the email I received.

Received email from GeekASquad stating that they are automatically renewing my subscription for a PC. I never had a subscription from them. They said they can cancel if I provided information for them to connect to my computer; Ah!! that's the catch. I told them I would sue them for any renewal and that I was providing their information to the Better Business Bureau for Fraud. The caller's language is SouthEast or Indian subcontinent. They also have an invalid email 21@GeekASquad InC.

The cost of the subscription renewal was $221.18

Guy sounded pretty upset...too bad creep!

They claimed they were renewing a service. I didn’t remember signing up for Greek squad and they said to cancel the service they needed me to download an app so they could access my phone and tell me what to do to cancel the service. They kept trying to get me to access my bank account through Apple Pay and I told them I’m not putting in my bank information. They said then try my debit card. Luckily my back devoted my debit card without calling then. They were able to access my credit cards because the app they were able to see everything. This happened a few hours ago. I don’t see any attempts on my credit cards as of right now. I finally gave up and said I would dispute this with my credit card company because what they were trying to do made no sense and hung up

I was sent an email from Geek Squad saying a bill would renew for the amount of 581.00 tomorrow. It also said, I should contact the number listed to cancel the subscription. When I called it was a foreigner, who asked for an invoice number. I immediately knew it was a scam when he verified an address that I hadn't lived at the time of the invoice. When I told him I was reporting him to the ScamPulse.com he hung up in my face. Do Not Click ON THE Link!! It is a phishing scam!!
