Here is the text of the SCAM email I received today. A couple of errors in the email are clear giveaways as well. The phone number also is bogus, and it flips over to a centralized call center. And check the return email, "paid106@bet1.click" another sign of this being a scam.=Dear Customer: Your invoice-675652 for 349.99 is attached towards renewal of 3 years Subscription.

I receive these e-mails in batches of 3 over a two day period. they then stop for a week or two and start up again.I have deleted around 12 of them with no detrimental effect.My advice would be to delete and forget about them
My wife got the same email, and opened the PDF attachement, the computer has a Mcfee internet security, would there be a problem? any action to take?
I do not think the attachment contains malware. The PDF contains a telephone number that they ask you to call.

I received the same email with a different phone number, which I called to ask them to remove the renewal. They repeatedly asked me what type of phone I was using and wanted me to do one thing on my phone. I didn't follow their instruction and ended the call. I then realized it might be some kind of scam so I searched online and found this forum. I hope it will be helpful to others.

I have received this many times. Sent it to Intuit about stopping it, and I have not seeing any results. So either looks fake to begin with plus I know I don’t have an account with into it.
