They attempted to get into my checking acct and a credit card and cash app account to refund monies billed but yet to be taken from my checking - 3 different and asking to download bit coins - all saying they work for Mcafee customer service . 3 different calls for at least 30 mins asking to download apps.

I received this email from Jimmy Brout, [email protected] TO: [email protected]. I thought I was being charged the $399.11 to renew my subscription that I didn't know I had. I called the number and the scammer could not speak good english and was rude and impatient and demanding. He directed me to a website that had McAfee name, had me type in a code and then told me to hit "run" on the download. All of a sudden I seen "Joining session" pop up. I realized the scammer was trying to get into my computer. I told him I'm not running the program and asked him to send me an email to cancel the order. He said that's not possible and running the download is the only way...so I hung up. The end.

Received an email saying my subscription to McAfee for 349.99 was renewed. I needed to call this number of information was incorrect.

** NOTED - the 'upload file' function on this platform does not work properly ... I have two documents I wanted to include but am not able.

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION

Contacted by email from "McAfee" regarding a pending automatic subscription charge update with instructions to call [877 730 3536] to 'cancel' my subscription to avoid a charge against my credit card.

I called the number to cancel the transaction and then followed a series of steps guided by a 'customer service representative' to process my refund. This included - as I discovered - rendering control of my computer so that all McAfee files could be removed from my system. This lead to a handoff to "Accounting" so the refund process could be concluded during which - it was alleged - $299,999.99 was transferred to my banking account instead of $299.99. - also alleged the "error" was my responsibility. This immediately triggered Accounting to claim I had mistakenly transferred the incorrect amount and I had to "fix" the problem to avoid legal issues which included arrest.

During the conversation on a separate device - I determined in-realtime there were no funds transferred to my account as alleged. I confronted the caller and an argument ensued during which I was threatened with financial claims/arrest, The call was eventually terminated.

I immediately received an email from the "Better Business Bureau" with the subject "non-active warrant". The attachment included instructions to remedy the situation by calling the agency [530 380 5730] which I did and left a message [voice-to-text system].

The salient issues of the most interest/concern to the ScamPulse.com writ large, may include:

> through my questioning - the ScamPulse.com office identified was the 'Great West+Pacific Region';

> the person identified in the "non-active warrant" letter I received was "Michael SERIO, VP/COO";

> I have noted a staffer in the Great West+Pacific Region executive staff as "Michael SEDIO, VP/COO";

> appropriation of ScamPulse.com corporate identity

> misappropriation of ScamPulse.com staffer identity

This scam was very sophisticated in its detail and orchestration. The answers to my questions during the process where met with quick explanations - i.e.,

> "I am not seeing any funds transfer into my accounts through my bank app." 'That's because your device does not have access to the same server through which the transfer was made.'

> "Okay - I will log into my account through another computer to verify." 'It's not going to make a difference because a different computer will not have access to the same server.'

> "I think this is a scam ... I see my curser moving independently." 'No worries - the computer automatically prompts the cursor after a period of inactivity so the computer avoids the 'sleep mode' ...

I appreciate any efforts you can make to shut down this scheme/scam.

They said my card would be charged $299.99 for 1 yr. I tried calling the number listed on the email, then called my bank immediately.

They emailed stating that I would be billed $260 for services- unless I call to cancel.. when I called to cancel they wanted remote access to my laptop in order to cancel my subscription - when I said no that I was going to report them to the BBB- they hung up on me.

I had MCafee fix my computer and I had already paid for my 4 year subscription but then a guy called and he said he was asking for payment and the lady I spoke to earlier said I did not owe a payment. So this is a scam.

I have received several emails from McAfee over the last few weeks. Stated my contract was expiring and my computer would no longer be protected. Charging $499.99 to renew. McAfee order number 68546KDE896. I emailed them on September 29th that I do not want to renew. Then they sent another email. They charged my credit card $499.99. I called them at 888-232-6090. I spoke with Clayton today at 210-948-2982. Instructed me to go to Target and buy two $500 gift cards. I had given them my debit card number over the phone. They would put the money back into my account. I thought this is ridiculous and hung up. The email came from [email protected] I am going to contact my bank.
