Cute email scam this morning.

[grumpyduck]

It was from a "Naner Kajeu" and said my "membership for Norton Total Protection" had been renewed and I had been charged $254.24 USD. Then it said to call them at +1 - (855) - (764) - 1481 if I wanted a refund. It listed an invoice number but of course nothing on which card I had used.

I almost want to call the guy and play with him, but it's not worth my time. OTOH, I'd love to give him tfg's credit card number if I could.

1. I've gotten these, too.

I feel sorry for the elderly who may be fooled and frightened by these emails.

2. Oh yeah. n/t

3. Nah! TFG probably uses a special version of Kapersky. nt

4. I've gotten that numerous times

I almost took the time to check it out with Norton. I wonder how many calls they're getting.

I once called "the IRS" back to give the creep a piece of my mind. It felt good.

5. Sadly, these exact so called 'Refund Scams' bilk millions from our elderly

I watch this guy doing live streams on Twitch, he has a Youtube channel as well. A real hero in my book.

Here is a video that explains this particular scam, how it works.
