Norton Potential fraud by Norton operative or activity outside terms of reference

I have had a useful conversation today with an advisor on line about a query [protected]. He agreed to escalate the matter. Clearly there has been some improper activity a few weeks ago. The record of of our conversation will explain. I am a Norton Lifelock subscriber. In brief, when trying to download Norton on May 1st 2022 to a new device I was unable to do so and received a warning on your website that there was a problem. I was advised the device was infected with a programme that blocked the downloading. Norton fixed this by taking control of the device. When advised everything was ok, I was then encouraged to buy an additional product from a third party and did so apparently via the Norton website online directed by your staff member. Norton has no knowledge or record of this. Furthermore, Norton has no record of any of the events on that day, which is clearly indicative of something being badly wrong. Possibly some record has been wiped.

Since speaking today, I have located the 'Diagnostics log' on my device dated May1st, and covering the period of the events. I would be happy to supply this for your scrutiny. It is a zipped folder with many items of content.

I am currently checking to see if I did purchase something useful from the third party or whether the whole thing was a scam.

Desired outcome: Please investigate and find out what happened. Other customers will be at risk otherwise. Let me know what you discover.

I had something similiar happen to me. About a week ago I was trying to get my service moved to a different device, the agent whose accent was so bad I could barely understand him told me the same thing, and also told me my computer was infected with viruses as well as my phone that I never use on the internet except for a short time when my old computer was out of service. He also told me my new computer was infected, which had only just been turned on. At that point I told him to get his remote program off my computer as I new he was lying. I didnt let him get far enough as to try and sell me something. Later that day I had a tech from micro center check out my computer and everything checked out fine. Since then I repaired my old computer and norton is still on there even though he told me had removed it. When I tried to to acess my account to see what was going on they told me they had no account linked to my email address, even though I have had that adress for nearly 20 years. the agent this time said he could not set a new password on my account unless I gave him my credit card number. I flatly refused. I think norton has turned into a den of scammers Im considering filing a complaint with my state attorney general.

Norton my complaint is about a Norton Package (Norton360 Total Protection for 1 year). I did not request.

I received an e-mail in the early month of June 2022 request payment "Norton 360 Total Protection for 1 year" at the cost of $466.58. I called to inquire about this because I did not sign up for package. I already renewal my Norton package back in January 2022 at $101.00. I told the representative that and he said "you have haved sign up for this", and I said no I did not. The representative name was Alex Wilson [protected]. I told him I was not paying for something I did not request. So, cancel that order. So, in turn he said in order to cancel he need a bank account number, asked did I had a checking account, preferable a mobile account. I told him no. He wanted me to open an mobile account to refund the money. Now, how you going refund something I did not pay for. He started yelling at me because I wasn't following his instructions. I believe this is a scam. Please resolve this issue. I have been a Norton customer for years and this is the first time this has happen to me.

Desired outcome: Resolve this issue

Norton Norton Antitrack

I upgraded to include Antitrack on 22nd June this year and paid $62.35 Australian. When I tried to access the feature I found that it did not work on the browser that I use - Brave. It seems that it only supports Chrome, Edge and Firefox.

I logged a case asking for a refund - no reply. I logged a follow-up case - again no reply. The case numbers are [protected] and [protected].

The most disappointing aspect of this experience has been the total lack of response from Norton, which will certainly be considered in my decision to renew my subscription to the basic product.

Desired outcome: Firstly I would like a response. Secondly I would like this feature to work with my browser - or I should have been told before buying it. Failing that, I would like a full refund.

Norton Norton products

I am very tired of norton constantly interrupting my computer and advertising their products. I have just paid £72 annual - which I think is way too much and given that I have already paid you, I don't need repeated interruptions to whatever I am doing or notification that norton is doing something 'in the background'. This is a games computer and norton repeatedly interferes with my games, causing loss of data and considerable inconvenience. I expect a solution - ie a way of turning off all such interruptions and gratuitous notifications or I shall seriously consider switching providers.

Norton Norton 360 deluxe

Purchased Norton 360 Deluxe (sealed) from Cosco, when attempting to install via https://www.norton.com/setup I apparently had an issue? I was (so I beleived) transferred to one of Norton services & support team members, he (Roland) (I kept a copy of our conversation) said I had trojans on home network and offered alternative down loads from:

2 Years Firewall Security - £149.99

5 Years Firewall Security - £199.99

10 Years Firewall Security - £249.99

He insisted on payment. This was a one-time fixation fee charged to place all license version securities on your network from their side.

I questioned what happens to the Norton 360 Deluxe I purchased ?

I provided the product key code XX8F7-FX3JT-GTH8K-97XF9-2C722 (I have all the original packaging) however strangely enough on the same day as my chat with your support member my product key code is registered to someone else?

I await a reply as to whether Roland Johnson was anything to do with Norton or not. Either way his customer attitude made alarm bells ring.

Regards

Mr Tanner

Desired outcome: Refund and investigation

Norton Er visit

Norton hospital tries to keep for psychiatric care and I don't want. Norton hospital has forced to stay, followed attacked without arresting and refused to treat. I am sorry I came to Norton for any sort of help with psychiatric care but was expecting to be released when I was ready. When felt better. I do not receive SSI, I do not have a caretaker. I could walk on my own. I don't want to be followed. Was very calm and polite until I were scared by medical professionals and staff. I do not want husband Brett brown under power of attorney, or anyone else. I don't like that. Did yell.

Desired outcome: Pls rececitate. Pls treat. Don't take rights. Don't meddle in hippa/ privacy laws or rights. Don't follow. Against the law. Don't have power of attorney I don't want. Don't meddle in psychiatric history. Thank you

Husband Brett brown and Baptist east hospital very inconsiderate to me. I do not have aids/ hiv. I am an adult. I can verbally communicate allergies or health complaints and requests, and do not receive SSI or have caretaker. I needed no assistance walking out of the hospital. I am 41 yrs old. I was 38 on said date of complaint for hydracefus or skull complaint. I have made many such complaints and have no need for help with psychiatric health unless I say so. Please butt out of my hippa baptist east, Brett brown , and all other medical professionals. I don't want you in my private life, even if no proof of health condition or conditions. I don't want anyone on list for me for power of attorney but me. Pls no do not recitate. But pls always treat. Some people lie and I was attacked at Baptist east simply because I wanted to go home. Pls don't take medical rights or state. I am a little Leary of people making me do things I don't want to and things did not turn out good. Next time I will pursue an attorney if not if not given right to be treated, or not. Fair rights, because I was almost violently attacked, and don't need anyone to make my medical decisions for me. Thank you.

Was denied rights to treat, or even leave Norton hospital when wanted times. Was followed out even though polite. Has happened 3 times. When they tried to make me stay I yelled. Was attacked. It became an embarrassing situation only when Norton made it one. Am quiet. Brett Brown not welcome/ex husband. Lies. Was blamed for needing psychiatric care and attention and am over 35 yrs old. I don't have to have that kind of care. Was sent out to some sort of Brookhaven, kept from working and almost forced to stay a long period of time. Just bc Norton felt like scaring me and I screamed at them. Tried to force to take medications I am allergic to. I was very angry.

Norton New norton software

I just signed up yesterday and cannot log in using my correct passwords and Vault password. I cannot see any real estate accounts, my attorney site, my investment sites, or even sign into Norton. Someone needs to figure this out very soon.

Now I am told this is too short to get attention. The technical term for Norton's service so far is IT SUCKS.

Norton Norton 360, Lifelock, Password

Nothing I have tried concerning Norton has helped. I used the Uninstall to get rid of Norton yet the Password is still wrapped down in and will not remove.

I think I have gotten spam requesting financial info from both Norton and now even MacAfee. I have used Chat, Phone (agent was not fluent in English)

Review of the Norton Forum made me to understand others suffer from the password bane. 5/13/2022

I cannot put in a corrected password w/o Norton overwriting with a different password causing me to go thru lost password routine.

Desired outcome: I just want rid of anything Norton associated.

My complaint is anything Norton. When I call a support number I get someone I cannot understand, a myriad of questions and then finally a hangup. I uninstalled Norton But Password is still resident and causing many, many, many problems. Chat is useless, the phone is connected to someone that has english as a third language. I think someone has invaded Norton with spam and has tried to get money information asking financial information.

ALL I WANT is the ability to strip out anything NORTON, LIFELOCK SYMANTEC BUT ESPECIALLY PASSWORD details.

Norton Surprisingly received Norton Bill

I received Norton bill of $489.35 for unknown service (INV: [protected]). I had never did any business with Norton. This is such a surprise!

I call the service line, someone with strong accent answered. I drop and call again got someone I can manage to understand. He says he cannot cancel my bill I need to submit form to request to cancel service. I don't think I should request cancel service because I never requested to start the service. I don't even know what service they are providing to me.

I suspect Norton is fraud me or be part of fraud.

Please analyze.

Che

Desired outcome: Norton should drop the bill and remove me from their contact list. Stop sending any email from now on.

Norton Renewal is due and nobody on your phone support can tell me how to find the price or tell me the price

I have spoken to two agents. first agent put the phone down on me and the second agent was new and could not help. the manager was to busy to help.

after one hour on the phone I spoke to a manager, and was told my renewal was £84. I have found the same product on Amazon for £15.75. this is how you treat loyal customers.

I now have to cancel my renewal subscription and download the new one...great service Norton..

I would like a copy of the phone records to show how bad the service you have provided. the call was made on the 1st May @ 18.16 UK time . The call centre was in Manila Philippines. agent would not give their name or the managers name

Desired outcome: same rate renewal as I can purchase online. And a copy of the phone call for my records
