Stay Alert – Beware of Scam Netflix Messages

If you get a text or email saying your Netflix membership has expired and you can extend for 90 days at no cost, don't believe it! It's a phishing scam trying to get you to provide credit or debit card numbers, bank account details, or Netflix passwords. Do NOT send this information or click on any links in the messages.

For the record, Netflix will never ask you to share your personal information in a text or email. This includes credit or debit card numbers, bank account details, and Netflix passwords. They'll also never ask for payment through a 3rd party vendor or website.

Should you accidentally click on a link in one of these scam texts or emails, immediately do the following:

• Change your Netflix password to a new one that is strong and unique to Netflix.
• Update your password on any other websites or apps where you used the same email and password combination.

Just because a message appears to be from Netflix — or any other big company — doesn't mean that's the case. It's important to slow down and think before you respond.
