Did you receive notification emails from Netflix that ask you to update your payment details? Be careful, it is possibly a scam!

We have reported fake Netflix “free 1-year subscription” text messages before. Now the scams are also coming as phishing emails!

Fake Netflix emails look like legitimate ones, but the “UPDATE ACCOUNT NOW” button below is a phishing link; if you click on it, you might have your personal data stolen.

Please check before you take any actions. Copy/paste the link and send it to Trend Micro ScamCheck for immediate scam detection!
