    Likely a scam, see below,but to be sure can you check who sent you the email? Are there any transactions on any of your cards or accounts for this amount?

    Hi, The e mail address is "s20400520@gmail.com" which seems really suspect.

    Fake Geek Squad invoices are not uncommon. Do a search for more information.

    If you call the number in the invoice you will be inviting trouble as they will intensify the pressure on you to provide card details etc.

    usually they ask if you wish to cancel/suggest its an error - get you to download sharing software (they say its connecting to their robotic server for the cancellation form) and then engineer a method that can cost you a large amount of money

    100% a scam - these emails/contact numbers are commonly used by a range of scam baiters to have some fun

    Personally I like wasting their time and would contact them and say the person they are trying to
    contact is unavailable. Prison, wanted fugitive anything… Then say but your bank account is a
    a joint one and you don't want that money taken.

    Then just keep them on the phone whilst you go and do something else. I kept one on the phone stating
    I could not find the computer, he asked if it was a laptop and I said no its a big beige box, it's massive…

    He hung up before I could go further… But he sat there for 20 minutes with the phone in another room
    and just the TV for company.

    Watch some YT videos on scam baiters and see what their script is and you will see they use Geeksquad
    and a few other company names to refund money that was never taken. and 100% NEVER put your computer
    on and allow anyone access.
