Very likely, if it's an unexpected invoice saying your Norton/LifeLock antivirus is auto-renewing for a big sum and lists a number to “cancel or dispute.” This is a fake-invoice scam identical to the Geek Squad version. There's no real subscription; calling connects you to scammers who push remote access, a bogus “refund” that requires your bank login, or gift-card payments.

A genuine Norton renewal shows up in your Norton account and on your card statement, and support lives on Norton's official website — never a call-back number in a surprise PDF. Legit renewal notices don't threaten or rush you. Don't call, don't open the attachment, and don't grant anyone remote control of your device. If there's a link, check it first and confirm any charge in your real statement.
