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.

(46,051 posts)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.

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