(Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images) Norton Email Scam Example #2Īnother Norton scam email was from It mentioned Norton Total All Round Security. The email addresses and phone number were all managed by scammers:įlashback to 2010 when it was more popular to buy McAfee and Norton security products in stores. The email also listed the same phone number that began with the 760 area code. One Norton scam email we reviewed was from and copied It claimed that an "annual product membership" for Norton Total Protection had been renewed. In reality, they would take the financial information and attempt to steal funds. The scammers eventually would ask for bank account or credit card details, claiming that a refund would be processed. The goal for the scammers was for consumers to respond by email or phone to ask for a refund for the supposed Norton product renewal. However, this was nothing more than a fake set up for the scam. The emails claimed that a payment had been successfully processed to renew a Norton subscription. The scammer asked for the invoice number in the email. We were connected to a scammer who may have been located in a foreign call center. We called the number knowing that the whole thing was a ruse. The phone number listed in some of the Norton scam emails was 76. We looked into these emails, which are in fact part of a known "phishing" operation aimed at tricking recipients into divulge private information. Turns out, a few of these weren't even real Norton products. Some of the scam renewal emails mentioned Norton Total Protection, Norton Total All Round Security, Norton 360, Norton 360 Auto Edition, Norton PC Life, Norton Family All Device, and Norton LifeLock.
