      This morning I received the same scam. However I am in Panama and we have no Best Buy or Geek Squad. Furthermore I do not have banking for them to charge. So suggested they take their scam to rich Americans. Not my coungry where average income is $550 a month where we have no money available for such things.

    BEWARE- I received the email above, similar to others that have been reported here- I did not open the attachment and did not reply to the email- I called from a LAND line- I spoke with Elisha, she seemed very nervous .

    I asked what was I being charged for, what account did they receive payment from, what was the service and what does the services they are charging me for on the invoice show?

    I told her I would not open the attachment asI have never asked for their services and it seemed fraudulent. She seemed very nervous- I pressed her a number of times for what was listed on the invoice and the services that I had never signed up for as I had never spoken with them or contracted with them for anything...she told me that I had to "cancel" the the service or I would be charged, for "security services on my drive" or I would be charged for it, and to cancel it I had to fill out their information form to cancel it.

    Completely fraudulent obviously, I pressed her for her business address and her company's website address and she of course hung up

Also used a remote program to access my computer. I found numerous programs they added to my computer and they had accessed my Bank account. They kept me on the phone for hours, talking and screaming at me and got me totally confused and unable to understand what they were doing to me. They called from numerous phone numbers. I am very upset Has anyone alerted the FBI or other law enforcement on this scam?
