A recent Netflix email scam has been targeting subscribers of the popular streaming service telling them that their account is about to be canceled. The well-designed, individualized fake email convinces customers to update their account information to avoid suspension. This results in stolen personal and credit card information.<\/p>\n

The email has the subject line \u201cYour suspension notification\u201d and includes a link where the subscriber is taken to a fake Netflix page which requires their log-in information as well as credit card number, according to the tech Mailguard, which took a screenshot of the scam email.<\/p>\n

Subscribers should remain vigilant for these bogus suspension emails to avoid getting their personal information compromised.<\/p>\n
