Scamming - Fraud
I have fallen for a scam renewal of my Mcafee subscription by echosoftinfocom.com. The 'receipt' below is what I have been sent. I've phoned my bank to cancel my card. I wanted to let you know the name they're acting under. My bank says the payment made has gone to an account named 'Mcafee'. Thanks, Dana.

you are a stupid dumb lady
Echosoft is a SCAM. Mcafee have never heard of them. bought a new laptop 3 days ago / Hp envyMcafee already an option on Windows 10 so I decided to use them when I went to installed on my laptop I went to set up an account with Mcafee but ended up on Toll free phone number site for technical support.I phoned the number and the opporator said he needed access to my laptop to complete the installation of my Macafee and that I had to make a payment to activate the account.They corrupted my new laptop so it wouldn't recognize me when I try to sign in again. My bank showed the money take with the name Macafee.I recived an invoice but it was from ECHOSOFT etc. I phoned official Macafee site who have no record of me or payment. I phoned TOLL number again and the SCAMMERS say they are genuine and that they will refund me it will clear in 10 days. Im still waiting.
I too was SCAMMED...getting a new Amex card and working to have the charges taken off.Address used for billing as McAffe is a townhouse in Virginia. Use google earth to check.
SCAM... RCVD popup stating my McAfee had expired and I needed to renew. After renewing was directed to call 800 # to get installed. then rcvd errors from Windows Defender saying I had no firewall or malware protection while McAfee said all was running.Called back 800# and was fished into $200 to fix problem.. Called my CC company and had my CC account shut down! Only thing that saved me was finding my receipt from McAfee showing I was covered thru Jan 2019...
yep- totally a SCAM- getting a new amex card because of these scammers.
