Yesterday I contacted Norton software regarding my malfunctioning VPN. After a LOT of effort, I got my problem solved, Then this morning I got an email from supposedly Norton stating that I had been billed for something I knew nothing about for $495.99 so I called this number: +1-810-269-2534. The person who answered wanted to help me, so I was transferred to this number: 1-269-286-6622. This person said that this charged already. He tried to scam me out of $45,000.00 because he had obtained my debit card info and had and had access my checking and savings, He had transferred this $45,000.00 from my savings account into my debit (checking) account without my knowledge, I was prompted to get help getting my $499.95 and had to fill out the amount that I was due from banking documents that appeared online. I put in the amount that I was owed but saw that I had gotten a refund of $45,000.00 instead and that I needed to return it using an international wire transfer to Hong Kong. When I went to my bank and explained all this, the banker there checked my checking and savings accounts. There was only $2.04 in my savings account and $45,0000.00 in my checking account. To sum up all of this, this was a scam since I was expected to return the $45,000.00-499.95 amount from my checking account. My bank stopped all of this, issuing me new accounts and cancelling my assoiated credit cards. My money is safe now. I got scammed because I had been given help from Norton the previous day, then I was "supposedly" contacted by Norton again the next day. I suspect that this very likely a scam being run by Norton employees. I am very grateful that I was not robbed by an evil scam such as this due to my wonderful banker's knowledge and alertness since this sort of scam is happening more often according to him.
