## How to Get the Best Support Experience

Coming prepared saves time and helps McAfee's support team resolve your issue on the first contact. Before reaching out, gather the following information:

* **Your activation code or order number** — Find this on your retail card, purchase receipt, or order confirmation email. This lets the support agent quickly verify your purchase.
* **The McAfee product you're using** — For example: McAfee Total Protection, McAfee+ Premium, McAfee+ Advanced, or McAfee+ Ultimate. Check your subscription at home.mcafee.com if unsure.
* **Any error messages you're seeing** — Write down or screenshot the exact error message text and code (if shown). This dramatically speeds up diagnosis.
* **Your device's OS version** — For Windows: go to **Settings → System → About**. For Mac: go to **Apple Menu → About This Mac**. For mobile: check **Settings → General → About**.

<Info>
  If you're contacting support about an activation issue at mcafee.com/activate, also have the retailer name and approximate purchase date handy. For billing inquiries, have the last four digits of the payment method used for the original purchase available.

## ⚠️ Beware of McAfee Support Scams

Scammers frequently impersonate McAfee support staff to steal money or access your device. Knowing the warning signs protects you from becoming a victim.

**How scammers operate:**

* They call you unsolicited, claiming your McAfee subscription has "expired" or your device is "infected"
* They send pop-up alerts that mimic McAfee's branding and display a fake support phone number
* They ask you to install remote-access software (such as AnyDesk, TeamViewer, or LogMeIn) so they can "fix" your activation or remove a virus
* They demand payment — by credit card, gift card, wire transfer, or cryptocurrency — to activate a product key you've already paid for
* They claim you are "owed a refund" and ask you to log in to your bank account while they watch

**What real McAfee support will never do:**

* Reach out to you unsolicited by phone, email, or pop-up about an activation or subscription issue
* Ask for remote access to your computer to resolve an activation code problem
* Charge you a fee to activate a product key you've already purchased
* Request payment via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency

<Warning>
  **If someone claiming to be McAfee support contacts you unsolicited, asks for remote access to your device, or demands payment — hang up or close the window immediately. It is a scam.** Do not install any software at their request and do not share your banking, credit card, or account credentials. Report suspicious contacts to the **FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov** and to McAfee directly at **mcafee.com/support**.
</Warning>
