More Fraud

Tweet

It is my daily routine to open my cell and check my emails. I have been getting emails for the last several months from some weird email address trying to get me to update my Cloud account, that I am out of space. Well, first off I have no Cloud account and second I don't use those storage places. I don't trust them and I use a thumb drive which has worked great for about 15 years now. And, I clear out my laptop of pictures and data every few days. They are telling me every day that this is my last and final notice. So humorous. But, today the Dark Web seems to have added something new to the mix. Today I get a notice that Norton 360 is going to be charging my account $449 for me to be re-instated with their coverage as my account supposedly renews every two years. I have not used them in many years. The laptop I have now is one that I don't need virus protection. And I always found Norton too expensive and would use McAfee more recently. But haven't had any for about 5 years now. And, this message had no last four digits of a card being used or anything like that I would expect to see. Oh, and there was a PDF file attached too. No, we did not click on it. No, No, No! The funny thing is that if you look at the return email on any fraud messages you will notice that usually there is a weird address like jerrylewis@gmail.com or something. Not a business. But, I had my grandson check it out just incase. He confirmed that it was a fraud. I'm so past sick of getting this kind of drivle. I also get a bit of a chill that runs through me when I get one. I have to calm myself and look for any red flags like my grandson has taught me. But, I still have him check it out to be doubly sure. Nowadays, a person has to be an expert fraud detector. Anything new and exciting happen in your life today?
