We have seen many versions of Netflix scams, including free subscription phishing text messages and Netflix auto payment verification scams. Recently the Netflix auto payment scams have gone viral again, slightly changed: fake “account suspended” emails.

Scammers falsely claim that your Netflix account is suspended because they cannot process your payment. They instruct you to click on a phishing link to reactivate your Netflix account. However, all the sensitive data you enter will end up in scammers’ hands, such as your banking details, credit card numbers, or event Netflix login credetials. With it, scammers can take control over your bank and Netflix account, steal your money, and even commit other cybercrime like identity theft.
