Telephone number +18888895482 is being used as part of a Phishing Scam by someone claiming to be from "Norton". The telephone number is included in the following scam email that is being sent to victims:
If you don't turn it off, this subscription will renew automatically every year. 24 hours prior to the
subscription period's expiration is the absolute latest.

To Cancel The Subscription, CALL: +1 (888) 889-5482
Regards,
Team Norton
The email was sent from the email address "nasha3957@gmail.com".

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
