This report analyses antivirus-renewal phishing scams where attackers send fake renewal messages and host convincing counterfeit vendor pages to collect names, emails, and phone numbers; those details are then used or sold for follow-up scam calls that may request remote access or payments. The write-up highlights an example targeting Belgium, evidence suggesting AI-assisted page creation, common indicators to spot the scam, and recommended defensive actions (verify charges via bank/account, avoid links, do not install remote access software, report/block numbers).
