WHAT IS THIS SECURITY SCAM

I received an e-Mail that looked like it came from NetGear I got thru a support process that looks like Netgear and was told $89.00 to get my router fixed.   What the hell is going on?

Hello RickoJC

 

Netgear would only send a email about a security alert and would tell you to visit the community of contact netgear support they would never ask for money in a email or ask for personal info.

 

Thanks
