A Netflix email scam has been targeting subscribers of the popular streaming service telling them that their account is about to be canceled, reports deadline.com, which added that the “well-designed, individualized fake email convinces customers to update their account information to avoid suspension. This results in stolen personal and credit card information.
“The email has the subject line “Your suspension notification” and includes a link where the subscriber is taken to a fake Netflix page which requires their log-in information as well as credit card number, according to the tech Mailguard, which took a screenshot of the scam email.
“The scam was detected earlier today and it targeted nearly 110 million Netflix subscribers.”
