another_casualty

Howdy!

I have a tiny pension with legal and general . A bizarre thing happened at 2 am this morning . I purchased a book on audible .
Just after that , I receive this email:
From Pgp-Universal-admin@landg.com

Warning : Symantec web email protection account expiration .

Then asked to click on link . I did not do that .

Scam?

Thanks

Why not contact Legal & General directly and ask them.

I do not have their no. To hand but I think that is the next step .

Why not just delete it? Unless you bought Symantec web email protection (whatever that is) from investment company L&G.

Agree with the above. Sounds like a scam - I wouldn't worry about the email unless you use use Symantec email protection! Which by the sound of it is highly unlikely!! Delete it!
