70% Discount
Ive got an email from these guys saying they have a 70% deal. Is it a scam?
Internet search turns up LOTS of web links promising discount codes for Netgear Armor.
On the Netgear web site, the only method described for purchasing Armor is through the Orbi or Nighthawk app.
If you are really interested in subscribing to Armor, it might be worth opening the Orbi app to see if there is a place on the screen to enter a discount code:
Hi, Thanks for this.
I go to my orbi app and the 70% discount is not there.
But ive been sent and email stating i have discount?
Just wary that the email is spam and if it pay i loose my money
Email starts with this:
......bitdefender@hello.bitdefender.com
Thanks
Amor and Bitdefender are separate items.
Well............................ this is an awkward situation. Notice the design of the Netgear page describing Armor at:
https://www.netgear.com/home/services/armor/
The graphic in the upper left of the page looks almost identical to the graphic in message 1 of this conversation:
The Netgear page offered a chance to talk to a Concierge (Jerico), who told me that "Yes, sometimes customers are offered promotions."
Hello, I'm your NETGEAR Concierge Expert, Jerico. How may I assist you with expert advice on our suite of superior WiFi solutions?
Before we get started, may I ask for your name and email address, so I can get back in touch with you in the event we get disconnected?
(3/8/2024, 3:03:48 PM): Is there a coupon for 70% off renewal of Armor?
(3/8/2024, 3:04:43 PM): or was the email describing this coupon a SCAM?
Jerico O (3/8/2024, 3:05:03 PM): Hello there! Let me go ahead and check this one moment please.
Jerico O (3/8/2024, 3:06:10 PM): By the way, did you subscribe to the free-trial version of NETGEAR Armor?
(3/8/2024, 3:06:34 PM): this is a paid subscription and it is about time to renew
Jerico O (3/8/2024, 3:08:41 PM): Got it. According to our customer care team, they do send out promotional emails especially to those who need to renew their subscription.
(3/8/2024, 3:08:57 PM): Thanks!I also found a comment on Reddit yesterday saying this is "valid" (but I cannot seem to find it again today.)
So, I have no idea whether this is a real offer or a SCAM.
