Windows 10: AnyTech365 new scam?

I received two e-mails this week from AnyTech 365 telling me my 3-yr subscription was up for renewal. I have never had a subscription of any kind with this "company." In one e-mail it appeared they were going to take almost $500 from my credit card unless I called them and cancelled. When I called the agent said it was for Windows Defender Webroot. Here is info from one e-mail. The other e-mail says my plan is Webroot. This whole thing is a scam. Just a warning.
