Windows Defender Email Scam: Order Confirmation

Watch out for a new Windows Defender Email scam happening as you are reading this. It is a “Windows Defender Order Confirmation” message which asks recipients to call a phone number. The one used in the original Windows Defender scam was 1-888-481-2106, but rest assured by now, there could be many others. Check the comments section too, for more feedback from victims.

The senders attempt to trick their potential victims into sending them a lot of money for a fake Windows Defender subscription. Their quest is successful because many people are not even aware of their computer anti-virus/protection systems.
