Below is a copy/paste of an e-mail I got a couple of hours ago. I have gotten this kind of thing in the past (see here)... I know this is a fake, but just wanted to report it and alert other potential victims.

Dear Norton User,
This is to inform you that Automatic Renewal Service for your Norton Subscription has been disabled. Norton will not automatically renew your Subscription and will not charge
your credit card. Hence you are requested to purchase the Subscription Renewal from Norton Renewal Center as early as possible.
Your Norton Subscription will be expired shortly. At expiration your computer may be vulnerable to dangerous online threats unless you purchase the Renewal service.
We feel great pleasure to inform you that you are nominated for 6 months of free Subscription with the purchase of 2-Year Renewal and 2 months of
free Subscription with the purchase of 1-Year Renewal.
To purchase the Subscription Renewal with this offer, click here >> Norton Renewal Center
Sincerely, Norton Renewal Support

If the link does not connect you to Renewal Center or else you require Customer Service, please go to Norton Customer Support
Symantec Corporation, 20300 Stevens Creek Blvd., Cupertino, California 95014 U.S.A.
Thank you for choosing Norton!

It's New Year's Eve, and the "Renewal Scam" has just dropped into my "Inbox".
Didn't "Open" it, didn't "Click" on any links.
Confirmed "SCAM". DELETED.
Be safe out there ! AK
