Received today from: stazotzbiujxrgqupport@impresoras-zebra-eym.com"Dear User,Thank you for using Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protextion. This is an invoice for Your recent Purchase.We Thank you on the completion of your 3 years.We tried to contact you on your registered number for queries but could not get through.Amount Due: 249.99Paid on: Feb 23, 2021INVOICE NO: 00074141478 Date: Feb 23, 2021Basically the same boiler plate template that they seem to be using for everyone else but with a few slight changes to the tyoe of service you supposedly purchased and the amount. I like the improper language syntax that they use for the emails. You can tell that this is clearly a scam, especially when they list the signature as this.Cheers,The Billing Team1 831-250-6551 (Toll Free)"As far as I know, that is not a TOLL FREE number. As always, beware of anything that comes across your email or text message service as well through other sources of electronic media as it is nothing but an easy buck for those that don't have a moral code to not harm others in their bodies.
Just received this email on Feb 19, 2021. It was found in my Junk Mail
Yep...still going on got this bogus request today in Jacksonville FL. Delete the e-mail and don't look back
Had same email from 509-240-9220

This is a total SCAM. Do not give them any information just delete the email and move on.
