Fake Antivirus Renewal Invoices: Emails Saying You Have Been Charged for Software

Wishlist Share

About Course

An email says your antivirus subscription has renewed and hundreds of pounds will be taken – unless you call a number to cancel. This course explains how these fake invoice scams work, how to check calmly, and what to do if you have already called or let someone into your computer.

This course gives general information about scams in the UK. Company names are used only to describe how criminals impersonate them; Tutwoo is not connected with any of these companies.
