I received an email from the address shown at the end of this post  It was addressed to an email which I stopped using 3 years ago.  I contacted McAfeee directly who confirmed this is indeed a scam.  If you receive such an email - DO NOT CLICK ON ANY OF THE LINKS WITHIN.
The email was from   renewal @mcafeerenewal . com

  • I appreciate you trying to warn people but if we all posted every scam email we got there would be thousands of posts a day. Just a brief look in my spam email inbox and I have tonnes, including the Macafee one you describe.
