This arrived just now from McAfee. I have no connection with them at all. nor have I used any of their products…ever, as far as I know.

It was sent to my gmail address…the one that I use for STW, other forums, online accounts with retailers, Adult Friend Finder, etc

Do I need to cover the house in tin-foil for a while?

It looks like it’s genuinely from McAfee, but what could a scammer be doing?

EDIT: My name isn’t Steve Boyd.

Well, Steve.

It’s time to head to the bunker.

Cheers,

Looks like a genuine McAffee web address. My guess is that Steve Boyd has a gmail address very similar to yours.

I’d go to https://service.mcafee.com/ContactCustomerService.aspx? and tell them about it – they will probably be able to to confirm it’s an error.
