Fake McAfee notifications

Phish Bowl Alerts

Similar to the phony Geek Squad and Norton invoices, these McAfee variations also try to prompt recipients to call a number to cancel the order. Triggers include a hefty chunk of change (from $249.99 to $499.99) and the need to immediately reconcile the "error." Other clues that it's fake: lack of details about the sender with generic Gmail addresses, and mixing up McAfee and Norton Lifelock (two separate products).
