A lot of users are currently receiving an email from Netflix. But be careful: This email did not come from the streaming provider, but from scammers!
The email, which was written in English, states that there was a new security update on the server. If you want to continue using Netflix, you will have to update your account information. This includes any billing information or payment method!
It is this “Netflix” email, with the following wording:
“Dear Customer, Due for new 'Security Update' in our server.
You may need to update some of your account information (Billing information,Payment method…) as continue enjoying all benefits of your subscription Update Information Now!”
ATTENTION, the fraudsters are after your credit card information!
If you follow the link, you will be redirected to a hacked website. Here you now have to enter your credit card information. If you do this, they will end up 1:1 in the hands of the fraudsters.
Note: Netflix would never request personal information via email or SMS!

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 beg youto enter personal information in a text message or email. This includes:
- Credit or debit card numbers
- Bank account details
- Login 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.
What should I do if I received a suspicious email?
Scammers can only get information if you give it to them. Therefore, do not click on links in messages or respond to such messages.
Suspicious emails
- not click on the links or open any attachments.
- Forward the email to [email protected] . NOTE: If your forwarded email is rejected, it means we have already received a copy of the phishing message. You then do not need to do anything else and should delete the email or text message.
- Delete the email.
