"Netflix Failed to Validate Your Payment Information" Phishing Scam

This is why Netflix users should never click on a link to sign into their accounts. They should instead, go directly to www.netflix.com and sign into their accounts from there. This is the most effective way of preventing Netflix phishing scams, that is, preventing cybercriminals from tricking Netflix users into visiting fake websites that steal account credentials.

We recently failed to validate your payment information, we hold on record for your account,

therefore we need to ask you to complete a brief validation process in order to verify your billing and payment details.

Verify your account

Failure to complete the validation process will result in a suspension of your netflix membership.

We take every step needed to automatically validate our users,

unfortunately in this case we were unable to verify your details.

The process will only take a couple of minutes

and will allow us to maintain our high standard of account security.

Netflix Support Team

Net flix users who have already fallen for the phishing scam are asked to change their Netflix password immediately, and contact Netflix about the necessary steps they should take.
