Scam emails are nothing new these days and are as prevalent as Noah Centineo romcoms on Netflix. Hell, you’ve probably been sent a couple of emails from a rich Nigerian prince in the time it took you to get to the end of this sentence.
Speaking of Netflix and scams, there’s new email scam going around asking people for their personal details while masquerading as the streaming giant.
The latest Netflix email scam is pretty similar to every other type of email scam in that it’ll ask you for your bank details due to a billing problem or something along those lines. While, this new one is a bit more sophisticated in its execution – it uses a high(ish) resolution images of the company’s branding and the email address has “Netflix” in it – there are still a bunch of red flags.
Despite managing to get better using images and actual Netflix email addresses (which apparently come from compromised email accounts), the scammers still have a big grammar and spelling issue as errors like “Dears Customer” are blatantly obvious in the email copy.
This won’t be a surprise to many as Netflix email scams have come up over more and more over the last couple of years due to the streaming giant’s popularity.
We’ve already had a couple of Netflix scams go around in 2019 and we’re only 3 months into the year.
So if you’ve been sent one of these scam emails, do yourself a favour and delete it before reporting the scammer to Netflix. The last thing you need is some Nigerian prince nabbing your bank deets while you’re trying to binge watch To All The Boys I’ve Loved 2 or something.
