Description

I received a text message on my personal cell phone stating this information: Norton Security: Your purchase confirmation inside While Norton Services executes your order, this purchase will display as a completed transaction. Please note that it may take a few moments for this transaction to appear. To view the whole transaction details , Norton Services account Or Call us at 1-850-270-1172. Norton Lifelock product: Norton Services Order ID:OVR-872 Amount: $359.00 Payment Mode: Auto Debit To Cancel Call At +1 (850)270-1172 Your recent purchase is greatly appreciated! Warm regards from the Norton Billing TEAM. Above is the exact text message that I received and I called the number to cancel and a foreign sounding male, kept requesting me to go on the computer to fill our a cancellation form. I did not do this as I did not want them to receive more information regarding my computer log on or any personal information. I did ask several times for him to cancel the request and that I would be contacting the BBB when he refused and his reply was "blah, blah, blah, do what you want to".
