Intuit Geek Squad Scam Auto Renewal Email 2022

The "Geek Squad Renewal" email below, which appears to have been sent from an Intuit address, is a scam. The fake email is being sent by online scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into calling them at the fake Geek Squad helpline number - 1-808-515-3770. Therefore, recipients are asked not to call the fake telephone number. The legit Geek Squad telephone number is 1-888-880-5019.

Who can this scam be reported to?

Got a similar email but it doesn't mention "geek squad." The sender's name is "Nathaniel Billing~Dept" and the ostensible billing amount is $379.99. The phone number given is 973~607~3182.

Something worth noting is that the "to:" and "CC:" fields both contain several addresses. Any time you get a questionable billing-related email, always look at the header to see if there are multiple recipients. No legitimate billing email would ever do this. It would always be sent to you privately. I suspect scammers do this intentionally so they don't waste time with anyone savvy enough to notice. They want calls from "easy marks."

Hello All,
I figured I would update the scam list for this. The call back number from mine is 1-802-234-1736. Have a great day.

808-215-3337 is another number
