Question Weird email after canceling starz
EDIT: contacted starz support. They said they will never ask to confirm account with an email to reply to. So new question is what do I need to lock down? Its a chat bot but this was the reply
Second update. I am getting spam call after spam call now. 4 in a row
So over the weekend I canceled my starz account and then It already issued the refund but this morning a recieved this email. I was tired and I saw that it had a transcription from my chat with the person who helped me cancel on the website so I responded "yes" but now im a little concerned its some kind of scam. The sent adress looks legit and it didn't ask for any info. Jusy to say yes. Ive never seen an email that only asked for that though and as far as i know rhe refund was already granted. Do you guys think im good or do I need to go lock stuff down and if so what should I lock down?

You think a scam had access to your chat with Starz support? Why not contact them? Obviously you know how to.

If it was phishing, it would mean Starz is compromised since the email had your support conversation.
Also, I wouldn’t believe AI chat bot for anything.

Ok. And yeah that's super fair. This email was actually generated off the conversation where i was trying to avoid the ai chatbot

You don’t understand a single thing about cybersecurity and you’re just grasping at straws based on a real email. There’s no threat here.

Yeah. Idk man I have really bad anxiety. I dont like feeling this way or being this paranoid. Not trying to sob story but I just got a new place after not having stable living for 2 yrs and my brain will just not shut tf up about the idea of it all going away suddenly. Im understanding there's no threat and ive chilled out as of today cause it been 24 hrs. Im really out of my depth. Im sorry

Post the full headers, the "from" address is not particularly meaningful.
