Netflix remains one of the biggest services on the internet. And that’s attracting more and more attention from scammers. A new Netflix scam attempt leaves users vulnerable to a phishing attack. Here are the details.
90-day free trial scam for Netflix revealed
A new phishing scam is targeting Netflix users in an attempt to steal personal information. The email sent by the scammers claims that the Netflix account has expired. Clicking on the link in the email will extend the subscription for 90 days for free.
Security experts said that these links are designed to trick people. Although it uses the official Netflix branding and logo, the email is not actually from Netflix. Upon further inspection, the sender address does not match Netflix’s domain names.

The scam claims to close access to Netflix accounts by saying that they have expired for the user. However, this is not how Netflix accounts expire. It is also worth noting that the 90-day free extension offer is not real.
The fake link redirects to a site that asks for sensitive information such as the user’s credit card details. This site, which looks like Netflix’s payment screen, can steal both your Netflix account and financial information.
There are some suggestions you can follow against the scam. These include checking the sender’s email address, being wary of notifications and avoiding free trials. Experts recommend logging into your profile to verify your Netflix account instead of using the email link.
