3:03 pm

It is claiming to be from Norton Anti-virus, so be aware, and do not fall for it.
3:05 pm
dcseain
often those are false. When I get such and I'm not certain, I go to wherever the email or message claims to be from, and sign in without clicking link in message or email.
3:06 pm

It is a very official-loving notice saying your card or bank has been charged for a two year service, and to call within 12 hours if you did not order this.
3:06 pm
crosshair
Looking*
3:07 pm
dcseain
check your bank, and act appropriately by either contesting if true and you did not order, or ignoring if you did. That is a common phishing scheme.
3:07 pm

Yup. Touched base with bank and cc Co

Yup. Did that. All is secure.
