Netflix Account Suspension Notification Scam
Netflix Account Suspension Notification Scam

Netflix users who have received account suspicious email notifications like the one below, which claim the recipients' Netflix membership has been suspended, are asked to delete them and should not follow the instructions in them. This is because the email messages, which claim the recipients Netflix membership has been canceled are phishing scams sent by cybercriminals to steal their Netflix account credentials (usernames and passwords). Once the cybercriminals have stolen their victims’ account credentials, they will gain access to their accounts, hijack and use them fraudulently.

The Netflix Team

Netflix users should never click on a link to sign into their online accounts. They should always go directly to https://www.netflix.com/ and sign into their accounts from there. Once they have signed in, they will be notified of changes, verifications or updates that need to be done to their accounts.

Netflix users who have already been tricked by the phishing email messages should change their passwords and contact Netflix immediately for help.
