Criminals are currently sending a text message that supposedly comes from Netflix. It claims there was an error with the last payment. Users are therefore asked to click on a link and update their data. But the link does not lead to the streaming service provider, but rather directly to the criminal sender. We therefore strongly advise against clicking on the link.
“NETFLIX: Your account has been suspended due to payment refusal. Please confirm your information by clicking here: LINK"
In this case the link is “NELFLATT.com”. The link may visually remind you of Netflix, but it is actually obvious that this is a scam. If you tap on the link, you will end up on a fake Netflix login page. You can also recognize it by the URL, which reads “Kundepc.com” after clicking.
If you were to log in to this website with your customer details, they would 1:1 end up in the hands of the fraudsters!

Phishing SMS messages claiming to be from Netflix
Have you received an email or text message (SMS) asking you to provide your Netflix account email address, phone number, password, or payment method? If so, it probably didn't come from us. Below are some tips to identify suspicious emails or text messages and protect your account.
How do I know if an email or text message is actually from Netflix?
- We will never ask you to enter personal information in a text message or email. This includes:
- Credit or debit card numbers
- Bank account details
- Netflix passwords
- We never request payment through a third party or website.
- If the text message or email contains a link to a URL you don't recognize, don't tap or click it. If you have already done this, do not enter any information on the website that was accessed.
Delete Netflix SMS instantly
Such messages occur all the time and they vary in their words, links and even senders. But the content is actually always the same: Apparently processing a payment didn't work, so you should change your data via a link. The redirect leads to different things, such as spam, phishing websites or subscription traps - but definitely NEVER to Netflix. The streaming service has nothing to do with this SMS, you will only receive such messages - unless you really pay - as an email, as Netflix itself writes website If you find such a message on your cell phone, delete it at all costs!
