  • McAfee

8/31/23

Once upon a time, there was a decent, even praiseworthy, cybersecurity company named McAfee. But things did not turn out happily ever after. Rather, McAfee metamorphosed into a scamming, lying, incompetent (except at scamming) bunch of thieves.

After being dunned by McAfee for more money (and FAST!), I found out that they didn't know, or care, whether I had one subscription or two, or none; when my subscription(s) expired, how many devices they were "protecting," or how much money I had paid or would pay for "renewal." The reps contradicted one another (and my account information on their own website), and simply lied--and lied and lied, until they got sick of me and disconnected the call.

I am trying simply to CANCEL and get $87 back out of $600 that I paid (they claim to a "scam" company--that magically happened to answer THE McAFEE "SERVICE" LINE). So far I have gotten nowhere with them, and will probably pursue legal action.

DON'T GO NEAR McAFEE! THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY AND DRIVE YOU MAD!

Tip for consumers:
I wish I could give negative stars.
