Just a moment ago, 16 June 2022, I've received this same scamming email. Delighted to have landed up here - to the confirmation that it's as whacky as I suspected.

Just received another one -- for $389.99. Total scam and now deleted

Same here, different phone number. Anytime a name is written using foreign letter characters, immediate red flag!

Email looked legit, PDF invoice looked legit, called and they wanted me to download teamviewer and launch it and give them my Device ID and password. I said why do you have to remote into my PC to cancel, he said the Device ID was the refund code generated by them and they wouldn't get any personal information. I said I was an IT professional and I know that that ID was not generated by them and I wasn't gonna give them remote access...

He said f*** off and hung up...

Another iteration of same phish scam sent from email address tracy4761vyi-gmail.com, subject line "Cloud Data Security Testing":

Of course I have no "yearly contract for data storage" from "Geek Squad Team". They can't even put the dashes in the right place on the phone number, which suggests it's coming from a foreign country like Russia or something. By the way, I use Norton VPN and Norton AntiTrack blocker at all times. Who writes stuff like "we have come to know"?

I just received an email like this but a different phone number. It has a attachment it looks like at the bottom, no I didn't open that. I got mad at first and almost called but decided to Google instead and came across this.

New number with the email it looks like
