The Netflix scam email below, which claims there is some trouble updating their current billing information, is being sent by scammers. The scammers are attempting to trick their potential victims into clicking the link/button in the fake email that goes to a phishing website. On the phishing website, which looks similar to Netflix's legit website, visitors will be asked to sign in and enter personal and financial information. But, if they do so, the information they submit will be sent to the scammers, who will use it fraudulently.
