I got the email today. I didn't call. Do we just ignore it? I have multiple banks. Do I just delete it? Can it be reported somewhere?
I got the same letter asking for 470. They did not even add a $ sign and had an Indian attitude. When they asked to share my screen, I hung up the phone called my bank and reported the incident. Nothing but a scam!
Got this email 04/06/2021 w/ different phone # 844-303-5351. Wrong zip code listed in their Sacramento Ca address- signed Jack Spencer, Mgr Billing Dept, Windows Support Center. Did not call or respond.

I got this email today, with $470 as the amount cited. Not taking any action other than making this comment here.
Please help received attached e mail from Windows Security Center claiming they will withdraw monies from my account. Called number to state I never gave my personal information nor ordered whatever this is...person extremely rude and told me I ordered this two years ago... I dont own a computer! I stated to him, if monies taken without authorization I will take legal action against them. of course he hung up...I called back and asked to speak with his manager or to Veronica Jones neither available and Veronica Jones wasin billing.How can one stop these fraudulent emails. I have already been a victim a scam previously and DO NOT want this happening again.Thank you for your time,
It almost impossible to stop the email. But, just ignore them. Do not follow the instructions in them.
