I was getting McAfee invoices for a while.  When I followed McAfee's instructions on how to report the scam the mailbox at McAfee for reporting was full and my email was bounced back to me as undeliverable.  Microsoft has deeper pockets I suspect.

 

I have stopped reporting scams that come in on my iPhone as most now use fake caller ID and I was blocking probably legitimate numbers.

@Sammi637,

 

@BeemerBiker is correct, this IS a scam.

Just for your peace of mind, check your transaction history with your financial institution.  If there was an unauthorized transaction, notify your Bank/Credit Union immediately.

 

Kind Regards,
