6. Not long ago, I had a similar message purporting to be from Norton Security

claiming my account was being automatically renewed at a cost of $299.99. I've subscribed to Norton in the past and no longer wanted it, so this was something I wanted to interrupt. I took a long breath, went into the Norton website, and verified that my old Norton account had been disbanded and no upcoming renewal or charge was scheduled. Their "automatic renewal" was a total scam. I did not respond to their message, and no such charge ever hit my account.

Always be vigilant!
