THIS IS definitely A SCAM. The email was missing information that made me query its authenticity. So I went onto a online chat site which I thought was the correct Norton site.
The so called agent Deborah Mullen after chatting online with her for alittle while, made me suspicious I was being scammed. She wanted me to keep the online chat opened so I could access the link to put payment through. She wouldn't email the link & said the special discount offer was only valid for a day or until she finished her shift or I can contact them again & 1 of the other agents would help me. I asked her to clarify what a day meant & she replied 'Our offices close at 8pm'. So I made up an excuse- said I lost my credit card & needed to organise a ride into the bank to organise funds & 8pm should be enough time to get things organised.

I unfortunately bumped/ closed the site I was chatting with Deborah.

I contacted the 'real' Norton site & they confirmed both Adam Zampa & Deborah Mullen are not Norton agents.
They are investigating this further.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
