Fell for a fake antivirus renewal email, lost $180 before I caught it
It started with an email that looked exactly like my Norton renewal notice, same logo and layout. I clicked the link, paid $180 with my credit card, and got a confirmation page that felt a little off. Three days later I called Norton to check on my subscription and they told me that email was a phishing scam. Now I'm dealing with a frozen card and a credit dispute, but I'm mostly mad I didn't check the sender address first. Has anyone else gotten one of these fake renewal emails that look way too real?

Oh man, I almost paid a fake Netflix bill last month because the email looked way too legit.

Ugh same here, I clicked on one of those fake Netflix emails once and almost put my card info in.
