They are phising. If you never ordered it, it won't show up on your credit card statement. You will note the language about the payment is very vague. Most companies will say "credit card ending in XXXX".

It is most definitely a SCAM. Windows firewall etc is part of the operating system and there is no charges for it. DO NOT phone them to check on this. It is exactly what they are trying to get you to do.

Almost certainly a scam.

One surefire check is looking at who the e-mail came from. Whenever I get scam e-mail, it's typically saying I've got a fee on my CC or something, and is the e-mail from @americanexpress.com, @visa.com or @mastercard.com, my bank, etc., no, it's usually something like evan@ dnt-gw-rus-savitar2.dnttm.com, pretty sure that's not legit.

Got one of those on my cell phone the other day, no identity given, just unauthorized gift card purchases apparently made on your account, punch 1.

100% scam

They will try and get you to give them your credit card info (or bank card info) to give you a "refund" but instead they take that info and steal your money ..... or sell your credit card info to another dirt bag that "lays low" and sometime in the future you see some charges that you didn't make.

Delete it.

Scam.

I get them. Don't just trash it, move it to junk mail file.

The email itself is already in your inbox - hovering your mouse, as far as I know does nothing.

It's when you click or open the exe file or attachment or link is when you get infected

No not true, all I do is pass my mouse over the email, then I see who is sending me what

I do not need to open up whatever email

Also still in my junk mail

It’s likely one of those auto charge phone line scams.
Doesn’t look like a scam fishing for Ccard info.
They won’t make much, maybe $2 per call but they send out millions of them.
