WINDOW DEFENDER SCAM

[Derek H.]

I know this is a scam, because Windows Defender is free with Windows... but for those out there that have received a newer round of emails "confirming" an order for Windows Defender, its a scam. They didn't even use my name, nor phone number, but did use someone else's.

Yep, I got the same email today. Thankfully, I was a skeptic and didn't make the call. I hope others are aware and skeptical as well.
