The scam is still out there!
I received the same email to my Earthlink webmail and now they're charging $399.99 for a Windows Defender protection plan. The latest toll free number is 800.484.0972.
I'm going to report this company to BBB, for sure: RNBSales -- rmxretail.com

Yes, that's definitely a phishing email, a scam.
Just mark it as spam and delete it.

Scam here too new # 1-833-691-0800 what can be done to report them
I got an email about this too - making it look like was charged. I called the the number knowing it was a SCAM - needless to say the guy was mad and hung up on me for calling him out.
3. he said I previously had coverage on all my computers and needed each one to access
(even more comical - since I only have 1 and he said all 3)
Called him out on it and he got mad and hung up - BEWARE, they are good with their attempts to explain "why" they need to remote log it.
