I placed a phone call to this company thinking I would get help with McAfee protection software since their web site advertises McAfee products. A gentleman by the name of Prakash answered the call and advised I needed to remove the McAfee app which I did. He then remoted into my computer and showed me how my computer had been infected. He advised that for either $799 USD for 5 years or $899 USD lifetime fee, I could get "advanced cleanup, remove junk filed, cache files, tracking cookies, remove errors and warnings, firewall protection on IP address, update drivers, anti-hacking software, McAfee total protection, human technical support, 2 helpline numbers, and free routine check up every 45-60 days." I was very leery so I looked up the actual support number for McAfee and the technician took good care of me and my computer. He cleaned up everything that the scammer had on my computer. This scam web site needs to be taken care of.

They sent an email concerning a transaction for mcafee renewal and to call an 800 number to dispute it. Then had you put a verification code into a website they sent you to, and asked to open my bank to see if the money refunded. By that point they took control of computer and transfered in too much. Said i had to buy gift cards to pay it back because they couldnt pull the money back out.

Person idetified as Flip Stronski left an email saying I needed to call to get a refund if I wanted to cancel my subscription. He had me get on my computer to fill out form and then said he made a huge mistake in the refund and tried to get me to obtain a apple gift card and send him the card number. By this time I finally realized I was scammed and he had taken over my computer. I am now locked out.

Then I called the number that they left which is 1-888-745-9407. they asked me for an invoice number. in which I told them AT&T called me, this is how I know it was a scam when I called them they said if I want my money back they need my social and debit card number . When the whole time it was an Email from McAfee for $705.00 being billed to be in which I checked my debit card and didn't get billed that amount on 02-02-2024.

I RECEIVED A LEGITIMATE EMAIL REMINDER THAT MY MCAFEE SUBSCRIPTION WAS EXPIRING IN FEBRUARY. THEY APPARENTLY INTERCEPTED THIS EMAIL AND THE SCAM BEGAN. A FEW WEEKS BEFORE MY SUBSCRIPTION WAS DUE TO EXPIRE, THEY SENT ME AN EMAIL SAYING THEY HAD AUTO-RENEWED MY MCAFFEE AND CHARGED MY VISA $160.59. I CHECKED AND MY VISA HAD BEEN CHARGED. I THINK I CLICKED ON A LINK IN THE FAKE EMAIL AND WAS GIVEN A NUMBER TO CALL. WHEN I CALLED, THEY CLAIMED TO REFUND THE 160 TO MY VISA AND SAID THERE HAD BEEN A DATA BREACH AT MCAFEE AND THEY COULD FIX MY COMPUTER IF I WOULD GIVE THEM REMOTE ACCESS. I NAIVELY OKAYED THAT AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY INSTALLED A 379 DOLLAR MCAFEE PRODUCT GOOD FOR 3 YEARS. THEY HAD ME ON THE PHONE AND IN MY COMPUTER FOR OVER 2 HOURS AND I BECAME SUSPICIOUS. I HAVE ALL THE EMAILS THEY SENT AND AM INCLUDING THEM HERE.

WHILE ON THE PHONE, THE FIRST "HELPER" SAID HIS NAME WAS JOHN THORTON AT 1-833-357-0707 AND AT 1-888-672-0468. THE SECOND MAN SAID HIS NAME WAS JEREMY AT 888-672-0468, THAT THERE HAD BEEN A DATA BREECH AT MCAFFEE AND HE WOULD FIX MY COMPUTER AND INSTALL THE NEW SOFTWARE. HE GAVE ME A "MCAFEE DAFAULT PASSWORD" OF MCAFEE@123 AND GAVE ME ANOTHER NUMBER TO CALL...888-745-2291 AND A WEB SITE "[email protected]." AFTER I HUNG UP, THEY TRIED TO CONTACT ME TWICE FROM THE "0468" NUMBER TO "FINISH THE INSTALL." I DID NOT RESPOND OR GO TO THE SUPPOSED SUPPORT SITE. A GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWED A SCAM FOR QIKFOX AND MCAFEE AND MATCHED WHAT THEY HAD TOLD ME. THE CHARGE ON MY VISA WOULD BE FROM "QIKFOX" AND JINIGRAM, LLC.

I IMMEDIATELY UNPLUGGED MY DESKTOP, WENT TO THE BANK AND CHANGED MY ACCOUNT NUMBERS AND TOOK THE COMPUTER TO BEST BUY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. I PAID CLOSE TO 200 DOLLARS TO HAVE A VIRUS REMOVED. WHEN I PLUGGED IT IN UPON COMPLETION OF THE REMOVAL, I SAW THAT QIKFOX HAD AN ICON ON MY START MENU AND SOFTWARE INSTALLED THAT I'VE BEEN UNABLE TO REMOVE. I WILL KEEP TRYING. THIS ALL OCCURRED ON JANUARY 23, 2024

I received an email about my McAfee membership which was due in December, which I paid. I received a notice from McAfee Security Alliance telling me my membership expires today 11/13 and will automatically renew for $403.44. I called the number they provided and told them I didn't sign up for anything and what information were they were going to use for automatic payment because I didn't have a debit card. I was told that it was going to come from my checking account and I told them I didn't authorize this. They asked if I wanted to cancel and when I said yes he asked if I was near my computer because he needed me to open up a browser. I told them I was not going to do that and I hung up.

I received an invoice for $599 for product renewal for Mcafee software. I have never purchased any of these products before. I called the customer support number provided on the invoice and the person on the other line asked me to download a zip file before they could process my cancelation of the purchase. This felt weird, so I hung up and did not download the file. I called the customer support number listed on Mcafee's website, the person I talked to here said that is not their normal process for refunding money. I then forwarded the email to their spam team and called my bank.

I received an email saying an McAfee order was completed and I would see the invoice of $276.90 come out of my bank in 24-48 hours. Email was from Josef Ralph with a phone number at the bottom to call to cancel. I did not order anything from McAfee. The phone number was 816-297-0123 in Adrian, Mo. But to cancel I had to use a laptop or desktop. I did give my name and the invoice number. That is all but told him, I was not at either. He’s been calling from New York on another number that I also have blocked. I had two voicemails I tried to listen to but it was a direct call back to him. And after I hung up ready to call my bank he was still on the line. I hung up again then I alerted my bank, and the local police department. They all assured me it was a scam. And said I should contact you also. Thanks

Email said McAfee account has been reinstated and activated and 389 dollars debited from my bank account. No money had actually been debited. He wanted to put control software on my computer to fill out the refund paperwork - which I did not allow him to do. I have never used McAfee software so I knew that this was a scam.
