Got an email today from “Norton” wanted to charge my debit card for $499.99 for a 5 year Norton subscription. The email was actually from [email protected] – the billing phone number is 561-409-5317 – says they’re out of Santa Monica.
Thank you – Cathie Moscato
September 17, 2020 received email(attached ) which stated that $349 was charged to my acciunt/card. Not having ordered Norton Lifelock I called the given helpline (443)-267-1175 toreverse/preclide the charge. Not have any luck reaching the number 3 times, I succeeded in talking to a lady on the 4th attempt. I was told that the charge was to my master card but for security reasons she could not give me the account number; further, the only way to not be charged was to fill out a form which she would send. She said she would send a confirming email that I would not charged. Having been victum to such a scam before and not being at my computer’s location, she hung up. The next day I received a similar email except that the amount was $499 and a different helpline number (701)-369-2948 which I did not call.

I received an e-mail through my husbands e-mail account regarding a membership purchase of $649.20. I made no such purchase. Called the number given to complain. Was told it was only $329.00 as a reduction. I wanted to know what card they had made unauthorized purchase, would not tell me. I was told that if I wanted a refund I would need to complete a refund form. Told them I would not give them any information since they were not giving me any. Hung up on me, called them again, hung up on me a second time. I contacted the real Norton Life Lock Security. They did not have an account for either myself or my husband. Be careful!

Type of a scam Phishing
Today I received an email Invoice stating that it was from Norton, the security software company for a LifeLock subscription and charging me $179.99. I did not order this. I called the number in the email. The person who answered was almost believable until he needed access to my computer to remove a .bat file so he could cancel my subscription and refund the $179.99 supposedly already charged to my COMCAST account. I refused access to my computer and he then said he had a different way to execute the refund and I should see it on my account within 24 hrs. Then I hung up and contacted Norton via chat and they confirmed the email was bogus. However, when I offered to forward the bogus email to them they were not interested; now, this is also suspicious. Why would a Security company, Norton LifeLock, not want to evaluate the raw data of a bogus email? I am loosing faith in NORTON. A segment of the email is attached below.
