McAfee payment extra charged

Good day,

I am not happy with your product this year.My first year I payed online around 30 $ with credit card, and this year you automatic removed from my credit card around 120$ with not any email to inform me about the price.
Auto-Renewal Membership was on, but I was expected to charge me same as last year. I want to claim back the money and to renunce completly with your product for this year.
Please remove completly my credit card from my account Mcafee.

Thank you!

McAfee Auto renewal of anti virus without consent

I purchased your product last year and after that, I lost my credentials due to system format and I didn't use the antivirus itself. Now I have been charged for auto-renewal without my consent today. I want to refund my amount and cancel the auto-renewal. So many people are yelling at the customer service of Mcafee but no proper response from your side which is not correct for a reputed company.

I am not sure what action you will take but this is serious incident not only for me but entire community that rely on McFee products and service. There fore please take action if not for me but also for your own reputation Fraudulent activity started with this email and phone number on a name of tech support to refund back the amount of $399.99 which...

McAfee Renewal

Why have you taken money a month early from my account, I had set a reminder to cancel a week before it was due but McAfee took it early, now trying to get the money back is a joke, there is no email address, just a phone number that I do not have time to waste waiting to be answered.

A company as big as yours is fraudulently taking money early from customers accounts, and I had changed my card details that were on your site! again that is taking money without consent, in other words theft, how did you get the details of my new card?.

Please provide an email address people can contact and stop stealing money.

Desired outcome: Money back and accountability of actions

McAfee virus protection

Automatic renewal charged to credit card. Contacted credit card company and charge was removed but McAfee denied reversal so it was charged back. Now McAfee says since it was over 60 days they will not issue a refund. Charge was originally disputed by me on December 9 (evidence by letter) . I have not owned these devices for over 2 years, I have now been charged $119.99 twice (unfortunately, I did not catch the charge in December of 2019) for a product I have not used.

Desired outcome: Full refund of $119.99 for this years renewal fee, period began December 1.

McAfee Charging me without my consent

I've never heard of this company before even though they say I am a customer. Today (1/8/21), I opened my email to discover one from them that said I owe them $499! I called and got some guy from Pakistan who continued to insist that I owed them this money, although he could never explain to me why.

I am concerned that they will find a way to to take my money.

Desired outcome: I would like them to be held accountable for what they are doing.

McAfee VPN

I have the best Mcafee with VPN and on US247tv some channels are telling me I have to use NORDVPN which wants you to subscribe, which costs money.
Do I need to drop Mcafee go to Norden and buy, if so why do I need Mcafee?
Mc VPN said use fastest or country and Barbados is not listed but many others are on the list?
I like Mc and do not want to change, please advise.

McAfee Pop up advertising on my computer

Last year, 2019, I was getting a pop up advert from on my computer ever day, for about six months. I eventually got to speak to someone at the company who said it was automatic and could not be stopped. I obviously did not accept this and continued trying and eventually after another couple of months had it stopped.
Some time in june 2020 it started again for no reason as I not spoken to anyone or done any business with them. I managed to send them a message telling them to stop and that I did not do business with them and never would, ever.
I now get the same pop up on my computer about a dozen times a day, probably more if I used the computer more.
This is nothing more than harassment and no decent, ethical company would do this.
Mcafee are doing this. How do I get them to stop? Who do I complain to?.

McAfee Still waiting for refund, urgent!

You took £89.99 out of my account on 31st March 2020. I did not receive an email warning about this and more importantly, I no longer use your products or have them on my laptop. I have emailed and posted on numerous occasions and am only sent a telephone to number to ring which is not accessible from my phone. I have also been asked for my email address which I have now supplied 3 times ([protected]@gmail.com).
I just want want my money back. This is the most appalling customer services I have ever encountered.

McAfee Antivirus alex parker ext 130935

Hello service manager,

Yesterday, May 04, 2020, I contacted McAffee customer support to help me reinstall McAffee AntiVirus software.

I have talked to Alex Parker ext. 130935. It was the worst service I had.

He refused to help me reinstall program with still valid subscription.
He refused to pass the call to supervisor for quick resolution. Absence of any support and lack of professional conduct from customer service force me to act.

This is way I have to move from being McAffee live customer to competition and never look back.

Antoni,
