The salutation is “Dear User.” Finally, the scammer is a bit lazy in not even including a Norton logo in the email which would be easy to counterfeit so even if an email carries the logo of a company, you can’t trust it.įor those of you receiving the Scam of the day through an email, I just want to remind you that if you want to see the ever increasing list of Coronavirus scams go to the first page of the website and click on the tab at the top of the page that indicates “Coronavirus Scams.” Scamicide has been cited by the New York Times as one of three top sources for information about Coronavirus related scams. Also, nowhere in the email does your name appear. The email address appears to be that of some unfortunate person whose email account has been hacked, made a part of a botnet and used to send out spam and phishing emails such as this. One of the indications that this is not legitimate and is a phishing email is the fact that the email address from which it was sent has nothing to do with Norton. In the case of Norton, the real telephone number to call for customer service is 85. Don’t call the number that appears in the email. Instead, if the email appears to come from a legitimate company, you can call them at a telephone number you confirm is legitimate. Never click on links or download attachments in emails or text messages unless you have absolutely confirmed that they are legitimate and don’t call companies at telephone numbers that appear in the email such as this one.
