McAfee - I keep getting billed for $389.00 for computer security services
I have received e-mails from McAfee starting May 19 2022 I called the service number and was told I would have to do several things to cancel security services I never ordered. I answered e-mails. The e-mails I've replied to--to several different addresses, are responded to with: "Sorry it didn't work out." or, "On vacation."
I hope McAfee will quit trying this.
Desired outcome: Please cancel what I never ordered. Please uninstall any security systems you have on my computer. If you did get any money from me--somehow--please refund and, I definitely would like an apology.
McAfee - I purchased McAfee antivirus 1 year subscription card
I purchased a McAfee AntiVirus 1 year subscription card, which has a 25-digit product key. By taking/calling McAfee free support help I was going to have this McAfee security product downloaded on my 2nd laptop at my home. So, I called the McAfee free support help ph. #866-622-3911, and asked support person to help me remotely to download this AntiViru...
Read full reviewMcAfee - Emails
I get emails from McAfee services. I never remember signing up, but in any case, have requested they unsubscribe me about 10 times over the past couple months! After hitting the unsubscribe button, I get the message saying "successfully unsubscribed" then I continue to get their emails. The fact that they continue to harass me, with threatening "your device has been infected!" messages is extremely frustrating, and makes me suspect them of deceptive/phishing practices. I will report to my attorney general if necessary.
Desired outcome: Drop my email from contact list, as required by law!
McAfee - PC protection services
I have been receiving on the average of twelve renewal offer emails per day from this company for at least a year. I've tried emailing them to cease but the emails were never replied to. I called the number I was given and it's always in India and they do nothing. I sent a letter to an address given, only to have the letter returned for "not deliverable as addressed". They have made it impossible to stop these harassing emails. One problem is the emails come from a different source every time so one "unsubscribe" takes care of that one but leaves countless others continuing to be sent. The only way to stop this, in my opinion, is to get the main office of McAfee to stop the emails. I truly hope you can help me with this problem.
Desired outcome: Please demand McAfee stop harassing me with their emails.
So far, not response from BBB and the emails continue to be sent at about 16 -18 per day!
McAfee - Virus software
I did NOT renew my service and it was NOT downloaded to my computer. I have been getting bills from Rockland Federal Trust since February for the software.
I do NOT even have Rockland Federal Trust anymore and haven't for a few years. They tell me McAfee has to reverse the charges. I have called and spoken to them twice and they tell me they will take care of it. Today I got 2 bills from Rockland saying I am responsible.
When I last spoke to McAfee he promised me it would be resolved in 3 -7 days and it has NOT. He gave me a reference number of 1-106261411. I have tried to call 5 times today to 800-622-3911 and it says it is out of my area.
PLEASE HELP ME,

McAfee - David Johnson
David Johnson, representing McAfee
Phone number: 206-415-0144
Ref number: 348118901
Refund: $389
April 24, I got a phone call from David Johnson, located in Seattle, claiming to work for MacAfee regarding online access 2022. He wanted me to download TeamViewer so he could help me remove my access to MacAfee online access 2022. He also told me that I have a refund of $389 coming to me. He asked if I had other account than with Chase bank and told him no. Today April 29, 2022, I called David two times on April 26 to get this worked out, but no luck. As of today April 29, 2022, I have not received my refund. Please investigate this man.

McAfee - Total protection
I placed on order for McAfee Total Protection for $29.99. I was trying to pay for a Verizon 12 phone for 97.03 for fees, etc. I tried 10 times and it would not go through. I called my bank and they said they didn't see any attempts. So it was Verizon, Verizon checked and stated it was not them. So after calming down, I realized I just installed McAfee. I...

McAfee - computer locked up unless i renewed
Got notice my computer was infected and the I had to download the newest version of Mcafee. I could't do anything, it was locked. I downloaded and it seemed to be fixed. HOWEVER my subscription did't expire until next month. So Why didn't my current subscription fix the issue? I am not happy about the way this was done! Was I scammed, I have received lots of e-mails from Mcaffe confirming the new subscription so it seems legit. YOU TELL ME!
Desired outcome: WANT TO KNOW IF I WAS SCAMMED
Yes, I just shared my experience and have to wait for an approval. I am from Tucson as well and will not be using or recommending McAfee to anyone.
Hi John,
Wanted to share my experience since I live in Tucson as well.
I have been on the phone five times this month over the VPN service and tonight called just after 10pm & ended up with Vanessa Rojano who took control over my computer to troubleshoot the same problem. I had to repeatedly said "Hello, are you still there?", she came back to phone giggling and told me my technical issues were due to not be enrolled in Automatically Renewal Subscription, since my service expires Jun 2022. After stating to her that you needed to take control over my computer & then make the suggestion that I need to pay to get my computer back and the VPN service? Sounds like I'm being issued a Ransom Threat and she hung up on me. Called back got Norm from the Philippines who after asking for a manager says I should get a call back in 24-48 hours. I would never recommend McAfee to anyone.
McAfee - Anti-virus
McAfee anti-virus completly blocked all of my downloads, even though I wasn't subscribed. I tried uninstalling the McAfee Web Advisior multiple times but it would'nt uninstall. I had to end up deleting all of the program files for it to allow downloads again. In additon, it kept popping up saying that I did not have an active subscription, even though I turned it off repeatedly, thinking I might re-activate at one point. I completely un-installed it after that. In additon, while I was using it, it would keep changing my default search engine without my permission. I will not buy McAfee again, and do not recommend it to anyone.
McAfee - Billing department
I received this receipt this morning, I do not want to renew at this price. I called this number (1-732-328-8932) like the paper says to cancel the renewal. I talked to somebody supposedly named Wesley Kingston. I don't believe that is a real name since he had a heavy Indian accent. He was not helpful so I asked for his supervisor. A man got on the phone...

McAfee - Auto Renewal Refund Request
Like many companies if you buy a subscription they'll put your credit card # for auto-renewal by default. If you don't want auto-renewal you have to go into your account and change settings or mark calendar so you don't forget.
Dec 2, 2021 autorenewal hit my card. I decided to go with another (better) anti-virus service so I planned just to get a refund.
Dec 6, 2021 - requested refund, agent took my info and said it will be processed. No credit came back to my credit card. (i have service request #)
Dec 6, 2021 - received email that my refund was processed back to my credit card. No credit appeared.
Jan 26, 2022 - I finally decided to call again, spoke with agent Angel who said they will have a manager call me back and that everything was scheduled to send back the credit since I requested it before the 30 days expired (Jan 2, 2022). No call back or message.
March 3, 2022 - called again spoke with agent George who was good in that he found that no refund was made because I had removed my credit card from my account, so I added it back to get a refund thru their system. No refund came back.
March 31, 2022 - called again spoke with agent Angelica was good but she can only do so much and their Supervisors don't get on the phone with customers. She said that the system shows I was refunded back to my AMEX card on Dec 6. I guess they don't cross check to see if it actually took place and that a debit occurred from their system?
March 31, 2022 - Called AMEX and confirmed NO refund or credit has happened for the amount of $124.99.
Back to McAfee now- super frustrated with this process and the waste of time I have spent. I guess I will call again to inform them what AMEX said...
Desired outcome: Send refund ASAP, check your bank records to see that no debit in the amount of $124.99 actually hit my credit card but that only a request was sent to the AMEX card. Be happy to submit my AMEX credit records for that time period.
