Is Advanced Computer Scan a Scam?

I keep getting "Advanced Computer Scan" spam emails like the one below that contain links that go to advanced-scan-pricing.com. The emails claim there is a new "Advanced Computer Scan 2020 Update," but I have never registered with that company. And, clicking on the links in the emails goes to a website that claims their office is located in London, United Kingdom, but it does not state specifically where in London. I tried contacting them at their contact telephone number 855-2550-420, but I am not able to get anyone.

They're still at it! They got my e-mail address from somebody I had done business with and are now telling me I need to renew my subscription before I lose all my (unspecified) benefits. It even has a (probably fake) link at the bottom to "Report as Spam".

I do not trust unsolicited emails that say I am an existing customer, when I am not. Unsubscribed, for whatever good that will do.
