They set up fake websites, send scam emails, offer free security scans, or send alarming messages to convince you that your computer is infected or needs to be fixed.

They don't even know you are a Norton customer.  They just send these out at random, knowing that a good percentage of recipients will be using Norton.  Those who don't will immediately recognize the scam and ignore the email.  They hope the Norton users will take the bait.
