Norton renewal invoice scam

An email claims a Norton or LifeLock subscription was auto-renewed and a sum charged, and gives a phone number to cancel. Same mechanics as the Geek Squad family with a different brand skin; Norton documents the pattern on its own support site.

Right now what this family looks like

How to recognise it

  1. A renewal you never bought, with a large round amount
  2. The only way to "cancel" is to call
  3. Sender is not a Norton domain

What to do

  1. Do not call, do not reply, delete it
  2. If you are a Norton customer, check your subscription by typing norton.com yourself
  3. Nothing was charged
Already called, clicked or paid? what to do in the next hour
  1. Gave remote access? Disconnect from the internet, uninstall the tool they had you install, change passwords from another device
  2. Paid by card or bank transfer? Call your bank now and dispute it. Gift cards? Call the card issuer with the card numbers
  3. Expect a call-back from a "refund department" — that is act two of the same scam. Hang up
