This article was very helpful and although it is from 2021, I'm glad I saw it. My husband and I recently received the same Geek Squad renewal email and it's 2022. So they're still out there scamming.

The exact information outlined above is what I received in an email. Unfortunately, I called the help number and the tech was attempting to direct me to a website to cancel this membership. It was all sounding very odd and my computer security system reported immediately to me that the website he was directing me to was fraudulant and infected. The man on the phone then quickly said to go to my nearest store to cancel this invoice and hung up. That is when I googled the the "help-desk" # 808-374-4981 google brought me here.

SCAM is still on the go!

Received the GEEK SQUAD Auto-Renewal Scam copied below February 24,2022 in Canada.

One of the better scam attempts.

The warning/giveaway that it is a scam is there is NO WEBSITE OR EMAIL LINK to the REAL Best Buy Customer Service or the Geek Squad contained in the scam e-mail - only the telephone number - and it's not a 1-800 number, it just looks that way at first.

If you search the telephone number, you get HawaiI and Midway Islands and other Pacific Islands. The Geek Squad is there? I think not! SCAM SCAM SCAM!

Also, resist the urge to call the fake number and chew them out - all you are doing is letting them know that your number is a working number and/or your e-mail is a working e-mail - FOR FUTURE SCAMMERS TO TRY AGAIN.

To truly hurt the scammers, instead make the scam as public as possible, warn other people! For instance, by posting it here, like this and on Facebook and Twitter and everywhere you can warn people.

I just received almost the exact same thing from info@geek-squadservices76.co relating to MalewareBytes and $499 scam. Found this by googling the return email addy.

Just received an email from info@geek-squadservices38.co relating to MalwareBytes and $499 same details as above just different phone numbers
