I just took advantage of the offer to upgrade to Bitdefender 2020. After paying for the renewed subscription, I received an email (as seen below) where I'm addressed as 'John Doe'. I also noticed how there's a spelling error in the text. It says 'för12 MÅNAD' which looks quite odd. First of all how 12 and MÅNAD is written without a space in between. But also MÅNAD should be MÅNADER since it's more than one month. Bad spelling in these kind of emails can often be an indication of fraud or malicious activity as well all know.
What's that all about...did I just get scammed when trying to renew the product I'm using to avoid such things?
Still I think (hope) that is not the case and that all is good. Because I do see how my end subscription date has been moved forward.
Speaking about that date, I was a bit surprised how I all of a sudden have a valid subscription for the next 628 days!
Right after the transaction, I did end up on a web page telling me old services/subscriptions were already found tied to my account and how those would be added on top of my new subscription. So maybe it's all good? But I'm still a bit surprised since I normally renew only 1 year a time. And I thought I got the renewal offer because my current subscription was about to end. Stupid of me not to actually check my end subscription date before buying the renewal.
Or maybe I already renewed the subscription but forgot about it? And that's why I now have a valid subscription for a whopping 628 days. Will try to see if I can find any old receipts.
Looking forward to hear your comments on this.
This is what the first part of the email I received looks like where I manually hid the order ID:
