Hi @BoaterDave Publishing your email address on a public forum for all the world scammers to see is not a good idea!

Re: Do you agree that this is a spoof email?

BoaterDave — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 12:23:08 GMT

Hello 🙂

The moderators took care of that aspect of matters!

Might there be SOMEONE reading on this forum who will know the answer to my question?

Do you have any subscription that are due!

The return address is an instagram address so it has nothing to do with BT.

Re: Do you agree that this is a spoof email?

BoaterDave — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 13:38:05 GMT

As I understand matters, BT pays for my subscription to Norton! 😅

See:- https://support.norton.com/sp/en/us/norton-security-4.0/8.8.4.77/solutions/v100803770?

It sounds as if you agree that my 'renewal' prompt was not from BT!

Re: Do you agree that this is a spoof email?

gg30340 — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 13:59:56 GMT

Unless I have missed it there is no mention of Norton in what you have posted in fact you have not posted anything as regards what the email was regarding.

I have already stated that it has nothing to do with BT.

There was a screenshot in the original post that was deleted by the mods as it contained personal information.

If I remember correctly, it was regarding McAfee.

In which case it has nothing to do with BT as BT no longer use McAfee as a partner.

BoaterDave — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 15:29:18 GMT

My original post included a screenshot which started out with ......

MY virus protection is provided by Norton, free of charge (paid for by BT).

I'm a little surprised that nobody here actually answered my question!!!

No matter.

Dave

As only 3 people had viewed your original post before I quarantined it, nobody else knew the content as you didn't repost an edited version.

Neither (in the absence of a working crystal ball) did anybody know the provider of your anti virus. Just because BT offer free anti virus it doesn't mean everyone takes up the offer, I certainly don't.

YOU knew that the (spoof) email referred to McAfee - so you could have simply agreed that it was SPAM and should have been treated as such! Norton has been BT's selected AV provider for quite some time now.

As you've advised that you do not use BT's free service, what AV software do YOU use to protect your computer(s)?

Re: Do you agree that this is a spoof email?

licquorice — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 16:29:15 GMT

I had no idea whether you had a personal subscription to McAfee or not.

I use paid for Kaspersky

BoaterDave — Sun, 30 Apr 2023 17:59:21 GMT

OK - I accept that I could have clarified matters early on!

I'm a little surprised that you put the security of your computer(s) into the hands of our enemy.
That rather beggar's belief!

Great attitude!

If YOU suspected it was spam, as YOU obviously did when YOU posted your first post, why did YOU have to post on this forum asking if it was spam. YOU should have known that YOU do not have a subscription to McAfee therefore why would YOU be getting an email about your subscription to it!

Added to the fact that I informed you in my first post that the email did NOT come from BT so why are you still going on about it!

EDIT "I'm a little surprised that you put the security of your computer(s) into the hands of our enemy.

That is the most perverse response I have seen in a long time. I presume you mean Russia and if so when did the UK declare war on Russia and its people because I must have missed it!

I take it you have your own list of who is "our" enemy or are you following some other list that has not been published to the wider public!

Hi @BoaterDave

Thanks for your post and welcome back!

I am sorry for the email you received. To confirm and answer your question; I have reviewed the screenshot you posted as this is definitely a scam email. See this link for guidance on how to combat scam - What is a phishing scam? Is the email I have received genuine? | BT Help

I will go ahead now and lock the thread discussion now that your question has been answered.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Thanks,

Robbie
