Norton LifeLock Scam

General News

Summary

Defrauders are disseminating lure emails posing as purchase invoices in an attempt to trick unsuspecting users into calling a bogus phone number. In essence, this spam email campaign could fall into the technical support, phishing, and refund tactic categories, depending on the exact goals of its operators. The email mentions on four different occasions that users who wish to cancel the order must call the provided phone number. Calling the number presented as a PayPal Payment Service Support line will connect the recipients to a bogus phone operator working for the defrauders. If successful, these people could collect information and files or deploy harmful malware threats on the system, such as RATs (Remote Access Trojans), info-stealers, crypto-miners, ransomware and more.
