Scam Description
I got a very official looking invoice, with black and yellow lettering, from “Norton” stating I owed $499.99 plus a $10.00 tax for a total of $599.99. I clicked on the down arrow under my email address and noticed a lot of other recipients on the email. I called the # and a man with an Indian accent asked me to get out of all the windows and type in “CTRLBS.SITE” in the address bar (which I didn’t do, but told him I was). He asked me what it said on my screen and I told him, “It says I’m not stupid”. I knew it was a scam, but I wanted to go along a bit and see his angle. He then yelled, “****** **** ****” And I laughed and hung up.
