Webroot Security LLC PayPal Scam Message

I recevied similar email. But didn't see it until weeks later (it was to an old email address). And I had another email from Paypal the follwong day saying they had automatically declined the transaction on my behalf. Fair play to PP for making the right call.

I looked up Webroot and apparently the site I used to get their phone number was illegitimate. The so-called rep ended up signing me up with Carbonite and a firewall. I have now disputed those charges on my credit card because of my belief the call was not valid. and reported this to the FTC. I have tried to reach Carbonite to cancel for 3 days and keep being told they were having systems problems and therefore customer service was apparently not taking calls. This is ridiculous.

Same scam, different name: Diana W Cho

Same scam different name - Travis H Haynes

Yep, just received identical scam £499.99/from same company. Immediately canx and blocked.

Is the cancel function genuine or does it go back to the scammers? I've reported the money request I got today -21st Dec from Fiona Guttman re Webroot Security(never heard of them)- for the same amount as you to Action Fraud and Paypal's phishing email rather than click anything in the message. But if the source is genuine, maybe I need to click it or risk having the money taken.
