How to recognise it
- An "order" you did not place, priced high enough to alarm
- Cancel-by-phone only
- No account details, no last four digits
What to do
- Do not call, do not reply, delete it
- Check any real subscription by typing mcafee.com yourself
Already called, clicked or paid? what to do in the next hour
- Gave remote access? Disconnect from the internet, uninstall the tool they had you install, change passwords from another device
- Paid by card or bank transfer? Call your bank now and dispute it. Gift cards? Call the card issuer with the card numbers
- Expect a call-back from a "refund department" — that is act two of the same scam. Hang up
