866-401-0896

I am reporting a scam involving criminals impersonating Norton customer support through a Google advertisement. The ad displays the phone number +1-866-401-0896 and claims to offer Norton cancellation, refund, or technical support services. When users call this number, the scammers pretend to be Norton representatives and mislead victims into believing they are receiving legitimate support. They attempt to obtain sensitive information, including bank details, or request remote access to the victim’s computer. In several cases, this has resulted in unauthorized withdrawals from victims’ bank accounts. This appears to be a fake technical support and refund scam targeting people searching online for Norton customer service. The advertisement is misleading and is being used to defraud consumers. Phone number used by scammers: +1-866-401-0896 Impersonated brand: Norton Platform where scam appears: Google Ads / Google Search I request that this activity be investigated and appropriate action taken to prevent further financial harm to consumers.
