Phishing emails or suspicious emails or text 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. (Source and further information at: https://help.netflix.com/de/node/65674 )
