McAfee - Phony order receipts

Phish Bowl Alerts

More phony notifications of a computing-related purchase -- these supposedly from McAƒee, from a common domain (@windstream.net) and same amount ($299.99). Like the PayPal, Geek Squad/Best Buy, and Norton/Lifelock, mark it as phishing should you receive one. The following are a handful of recent examples, varying either by sender name or slightly by subject (often just a different order number).
