How You Avoid a Subscription Renewal Email Scam If you give them that information, the fake charge claimed by the email becomes real charges from the scammer who now has your information – and likely for a lot more than a couple hundred dollars. Once you call, the fraudster will put on their best customer service voice and tell you that it’s no big deal and that they can easily remove the charge from your account, they just need the credit card information to process the refund. “Oh no!” the scammer expects you to exclaim after seeing that your security subscription renewed and was charged to your credit card or bank account, “I better give them a call and remedy this issue.” The scam plays on a common occurrence that we all deal with rather regularly – we forget to turn off a subscription and wind up being charged automatically for something that we aren’t even using. Believe us, you aren’t alone if you got tricked. It’s pretty simple, which is why so many people fall victim to this email scam.
