With all the errors in that message i'd say false

It's a scam

Warning! This is a Purchase / Subscription / Refund Tech Support Scam !

This is a typical refund scam. No company EVER charges someone, then contacts you to cancel/refund it.  The message is to get you to call and they will pretend to give you a refund, but it is just a trick to get access to your computer.


Scammers want to connect to your computer with remote access, asking you to download it and give them access. They will lie and say it is a "secure server" or similar to gain your trust in letting them on your computer. They will say you need to fill out an online refund form, then ask you to log into your bank. They pretend to give you the refund, but more than the amount stated. Then they manipulate the HTML to make it seem as if they over paid the amount and want you to reimburse it back by getting gift cards. No money is ever really transferred, but they act as if it was.

Banks transfer money bank to bank direct and never involve a person's personal computer! No business would ever ask you to go get Gift Cards as a payment method and ask you to stay on the phone the whole time. ONLY SCAMMERS DO THAT!!

Only a Scammer would want Remote Access to give a Refund.

Never allow anyone Remote Access unless you know them to be reputable and you contacted them first! Scammers can lock you out and hold your computer ransom by changing your username password or with Syskey (Microsoft SAM Lock Tool).

Help spread the word and prevent someone from becoming a victim.

Fact:

• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says you have been charged for something, offering a refund is a SCAMMER.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your computer called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you and says your online server called/contacted them is a SCAMMER.
• Windows Operating System licenses do not expire.
• ANYONE who calls or emails you with a message about your computer having illegal activity, is a SCAMMER.
• Apple will never, ever call you about alleged suspicious iCloud activity.
• Microsoft error and warning messages never include phone numbers. ANY Tech Support Warning pop-ups you get while accessing the internet asking you to call a number or visit a website, is from a SCAMMER.
• Web Browsers DO NOT have the ability to determine and warn you your computer has an error. They can only warn you about a potential malicious website. A Browser is software that allows you to surf the Internet, not diagnose a computer or phone.
• ANY Tech Support company that insists you need their services because of some error, outdated software or tries to convince you that you need to allow them remote access is a SCAMMER.
• Nobody could possibly know if your computer or devices have an issue unless you tell them or gave them access.
• Tech Support companies DO NOT call or email to give out refunds because they are "going out of business", or to "cancel a subscription".  Companies DO NOT give refunds unless they have to.
• Companies DO NOT call to inform you that your subscription will be charged if you don't call back, only SCAMMERS do that. If you have a subscription with someone, they automatically charge you until you cancel it and they don't give a refund.
• Only a Scammer would want Remote Access to give a Refund.
• 3rd party Tech services DO NOT include Email account repairing or password resetting, since they can not access the email server unless it belongs to them.
• ONLY scammers ask for gift cards and NOBODY would ask you to go to the store while remaining on the phone while you do.

Never trust a caller who wants to "help your computer" for any reason (unless you contacted them first), as they are only going to scam you. If you need Tech Support, you should contact a reputable local service.

It's fake! I got 1 similar that says my dead husband just bought something and didn't have enough money, so he OWES money. The grammar was off and so was the addition of fees. The phone number was exactly the same as you have. It says he purchased over $20,000.00 dollars in bitcoin! It says to call this phone if he didn't do it. I know he didn't do it because I closed his account 5 years ago when he died. These kind of people should go to jail in Russia where they take their entire family too! Jerks trying to rip us off.

Just received an email near identical to yours but for a refrigerator. Same format and phone number provided. I held off for a few days looking into it just to see if anything hit any of my accounts, and nothing did. Definitely a scam!

L.S.--I think I just got the same one you did, for a Whirlpool triple-door refrigerator.  Typos and formatting errors ('PayPal', not 'pay-pal' and I'm pretty sure it's not an LLC). And since I don't think PayPal sells refrigerators, it's a little hard to tell what company this supposed refrigerator might be coming from.

Considering the entire email is a fabrication by scammers, it is not difficult to see it wouldn't matter if they did put a company name of where the imaginary refrigerator was coming from. Scammers make up these phony invoices and send them out to thousands of people, just waiting for victims to fall for it.
