Phish Bowl Alerts
Watch out for this widespread scam that prompts action with its attached or embedded Geek Squad invoice. The renewal for unordered services provides a convenient phone number to call and dispute the unexpected bill (don't call -- it's part of the scam to get your financial details). The FTC has these tips on How to recognize a fake Geek Squad renewal scam. See also FBI Warns About Callback Phishing.
The following variations were reported over the last several months.
