Netflix Email Scam

Jordan2 — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 11:52:01 GMT

So I got an email about a week ago stating my subscription was expiring and I could extend it for free ( it didn't show up in my Spam folder). It looked odd to me, plus I pay my subscription monthly and it wouldn't expire unless I didn't pay my bill. I got another email today stating my account expired, renew now. My account is fine, this has to be a scam, I feel bad for people who fall for it.

If only these people would use their minds for good things instead of stealing.

I have had this one several times. It is realistic looking. I sent it to Netflix but doubt they can do anything about it.

I get this email all the time. Seriously some days I get 5 in one day. Then I get text messages as well. I use to forward them to Netflix but now I just mark as SPAM and delete.

I have received emails and texts asking to update my payment methods on Netfix account. I get Netflix from my cable provider--Xfinity. I never pay Netflix directly so that's a huge tip off.

Yes, it's a scam and not a very good one.
