Four contributors have reported scam activity from 03 9005 8506 (also written as 0390058506), with the common pattern involving impersonation of Norton antivirus support. The scammers behind this number use business names like "Ron Taylor Canon Support" or "Excellence Technology" to appear legitimate, targeting people searching for genuine tech support online.

Legitimate vs Scam Activity
