Description

I received an email supposedly from Microsoft ([email protected]) providing telephone number 1-805-366-5102 to call if I did not make a purchase of Windows Defender Family. Since I don’t have or use a computer, this is fraudulent spam/spoof email. When I researched the phone number the name comes up for SANDRA MACE near Hubert, NC and also current owner James Mace (805) 366-5102 [Phone type, - Relatives, BE Associates Relatives: Nathaniel Mace, Sandra Mace,etc.] Email details: Security Alert. Order for Windows Defender Advanced Family was purchased on October 22, 2025. If this was not made by you, you must contact Microsoft Support Immediately to report it and prevent a permanent charge. Call 1 805-366-5102. This phone number is not related to Microsoft. I did not call the number. I did not click on any links. I did not reply or respond.
