Netflix Scam Email: Update Current Billing Information

Netflix Scam Email Update Current Billing Information

Attention Netflix users, there is an "Update Current Billing Information" scam being circulated claiming your payment has been declined and you need to update your payment details. The link in the email goes to a fake Netflix webpage where visitors are asked to sign-in. But, any attempts to sign-in will result in visitors' credentials being sent to the cybercriminals behind the scam. Once the cybercriminals have gotten the stolen credentials, they will hijack their victims' Netflix accounts and use them fraudulently.

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.

    Good call from the scammers, they sent me the email on my wrong email address and also not in my native language (wich Netflix usualy do)

    Yes, I too received this email. After verifying my funds were available, I looked at the sender's email address and noticed the @bihvgh.com portion and thought it was suspicious. I googled it and found this site. I then immediately deleted that email.

    Whoever created this site, thank you!
