How the Scam Works

• The Fake Invoice. You receive an urgent alert stating that an amount will be deducted from your account unless you cancel within 24 hours.
• The Callback Trap. Instead of clicking a malicious link, the message pressures you to call a fake customer service number. Scammers also buy fake search ads or alter web links so fraudulent numbers appear if you look up McAfee support online.
• The Refund Ruse. Once you call, the fake agent asks you to download remote access software so they can "process your refund". They then use screen control to access your bank account, install malware, or trick you into sending money via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency.

Red Flags to Watch For

• Urgent Call Requests. McAfee explicitly states it will never ask you to call a phone number listed inside an email or text message.
• Suspicious Sender Addresses. The message often comes from a free webmail account, a random domain, or even a fake calendar invite rather than an official mcafee.com address.
• Generic Greetings. Scam invoices rarely use your real name or actual account details, often relying on vague order numbers and awkward phrasing like "kindly".
• Caller ID Spoofing. Scammers can spoof McAfee's real support number on caller ID, so incoming calls claiming to be from McAfee should not be trusted.

What You Should Do

• Do Not Call or Reply. If you only received the email or pop-up, your bank account has not been charged. Simply delete the message or close the browser tab.
• Verify Directly. If you are unsure about your subscription status, open a new browser window and type mcafee.com directly to check your account. You can also check your bank statement directly for any real charges.
• Report the Scam. Forward fake emails to McAfee's fraud team at scam@mcafee.com as outlined on the McAfee Support page. You can also file a report with the Federal Trade Commission or the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center.
• Act Fast If You Called. If you allowed someone remote access to your computer, immediately disconnect from the internet, uninstall any remote desktop apps they added, and run a legitimate antivirus scan. Contact your bank right away if you shared financial details or passwords.
