Frequently asked questions

How is Genie AI-powered?

AI influences the Genie experience in two key ways. The first is that it enables a conversation so you can ask it questions and it can provide answers. The second has to do with the scam analysis itself. The message is being scanned by the AI for several factors, such as the intent of the message, in order to build a threat assessment. From there, Genie can advise you whether the message is a scam. As Genie sees more scams, it will get smarter at detecting new threats.

What are some prevalent types of email and text scams?

Have you ever received a message telling you that your package has been delayed or that you’ve missed a utility bill payment? Scammers send enticing messages to get you to engage so they can commit financial fraud or identity theft. It’s common for them to send fake text messages promising free prizes, gift cards, or coupons; offering low or no-interest credit cards; or promising to help you pay off your student loans. Also be aware of messages claiming there is suspicious activity on your account or a problem with your payment information. Genie can help you discern if these messages are scams.

Why is it important to avoid clicking on links in texts or emails from unknown senders?

Clicking on links from unknown senders can have a variety of outcomes, from no adverse effects to inadvertently downloading malware to your device. Phishing and smishing attacks are fast-growing techniques cybercriminals use to trick you into clicking on links in email, text messages, or social posts with the purpose of taking you to a website where they can commit financial fraud or steal your identity.

Where can I post my feedback on Norton Genie?

You can post your feedback on the Norton Genie community board.

How can I report phishing scams to the authorities?

If you want to share your messages with the authorities so they can investigate, there are a couple of options. If you are in the U.S., you can submit phishing emails to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FTC is responsible for investigating and prosecuting fraudulent activities, including phishing scams. You can forward your phishing email to [email protected]. To report a text message scam to the FTC, take a screenshot of the text message and forward the text to SPAM or 7726. You’ll then receive an automated response.

If you are outside the U.S., you can submit phishing emails to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) at [email protected]. They are a non-profit organization with a mandate to help protect other internet users from fraud, including phishing scams.

Is Norton Genie available in multiple languages?

Genie is only available in English at the moment.

Can Genie evaluate scams in non-English text?

No, it can only assess English text. However, if your submission includes a website link (URL), Genie can analyze it regardless of the language.
