update/resubscribe = give us your bank details. Not to the AV vendors, to the scammers. Address details would be extra icing on the cake.In the last week I've had a run of e-mails asking me to update/resubscribe to various computer security programs. For some reason, they are getting through the usual spam filter. Although the Anti-virus programs exist, the senders (as evidenced by their addresses) are not connected to them. I do not know what the scam is - it could just be an address collector - but I know it is a scam.
Even if you only pay them the requested amount, say £50, think about one email written, 1 million deliveries at the push of a button, 1 % hit rate. PROFIT. Then do it again the next day.
Also, the odd spelling mistake is often deliberate, as is the subtly not quite correct English, (and odd typeface mikejee). Scammers don't want to waste time with people who are paying attention.
