You are correct but I was so infuriated when I read the thing that I responded. As I said, I should have known better.

And Defender is free and part of Windows so a paid anything should've been a red flag.

My first step would have been to log on to my account to see if this charge had been made.
The very last thing, would have been to contact the people who sent this, like as in NEVER.

I think the reality is, in this day and age, the average 14 year old kid could produce something that looks professional designed, and if they passed English class, without the poor grammar.
The real scam here is that Windows Defender is...free...
But even the language in that email is a clear indication it didn't come from a native English speaker.

Yep. Always check the email source to see if it's from anywhere close to what you would expect.The first thing I noticed was the sender's email address. Anything legit from Microsoft would never come from a gmail address.

Welcome to SMC. The pictures were of a scam email that I opened and responded to. My bad.

I have received that email & it had me worried but checked my CC's, & bank accounts, and found nothing so just let it go as another scam attempt.
