Geek Squad email scam: is that renewal real?

Yes — this is a scam. Geek Squad doesn't email surprise renewal invoices from "geeksquad-renewal.info."

Other versions you might get: A PDF "invoice" attachment, a Norton or McAfee renewal version, or a phone-only variant where the email just lists a number to call.

What to do right now

1. Don't click the link or call any number in the email. That number reaches the scammer, not Geek Squad.
2. Check your real bank or card statement in your own app. The charge won't be there — there's nothing to cancel.
3. Report it. File at reportfraud.ftc.gov, then mark the email as phishing.
4. Delete it. Don't open any attachment.
5. If you already called or gave remote access: disconnect the computer from the internet, run a malware scan, change your passwords from a different device, and call your bank to flag any charge or refund you were talked into.
