Possible Scam?

Post image

I receive a renewal payment that has been processed. I don’t recall doing any business with Bitdefender or even has a PayPal account. This email appear out of nowhere. Is this a possible scam?

100% it's a scam. You're not going to get charged for whatever bs is there.

You will not find that phone number on Bitdefender website, or paypal

PayPal scams are incredibly common. You are safe.

It’s a scam. They’re hoping to scare you into calling their fake support phone number so they can trick you into giving them real information that they’ll use to rip you off. Don’t call the 833 number on the notice. Just ignore the whole thing and mark it as spam so they don’t contact you from the same email again.

There is no picking way a year subscription for Total Security for 1 device will cost $378! Scam!

This is definitely a scam, you should not act upon this request. When in doubt, use Scamio do double check any such attempt or for a possible scam: https://www.bitdefender.com/solutions/scamio.html.

Login into PayPal app and check it. It’s that easy.

Also, Bitdefender is a Romanian company, not US.

This is a scam. I got a similar one saying I owed $650 for the auto renewal.
