Scammers are trying to get hold of data credit cards customers Netflix
Ohio Police warns Netflix customers of potential fraud through emails that seem to be being sent from the streaming media service.
Police from Solon, Ohio, recently published a screenshot of a phishing email designed to steal personal information. WCVB. The letter informs the user that his account has been suspended because Netflix "has some problems with your current payment information."
“The biggest clue for me was that I don’t have a Netflix account at all,” wrote the officer, who also discovered the scam in his email account.
“Criminals want you to click on links and voluntarily give up your personal identification information. This works very successfully. But don't let your guard down: contact the source from which the email supposedly came from using another more reliable and verified method to make sure that your account is still active. Don't click on links. The links could also be a way to install malware on your computer,” the message says.
Here is an example of a scam letter:
Commenters on Facebook pointed out that the letter also contained an international phone number, strange punctuation and the strange greeting “Hi Dear” (in the comments, users expressed doubts that the official Netflix would call someone “darling” or similar addresses).
On the official Netflix support website, the Police Board's advice repeats:
“Never enter your username or financial data after following a link in an email or text message. If you're not sure if you’re following a link to a legitimate Netflix website, enter www.netflix.com directly in your web browser. ”
