Aussies are being warned of a new email phishing scam that targets Netflix users and attempts to steal their financial and personal information. Email security company MailGuard intercepted the scam and is warning Aussies to delete the email immediately and not click on any links.
The subject line of the email reads “Last reminder!” and claims to be sent from Netflix, using Netflix branding. It tells users they need to validate their billing information within the next 48 hours, or their membership will be suspended.
The user is then asked to click a button that says “Verify Now”. “Clicking the button to verify their account details directs the customer to a phishing site, which looks quite similar to the login page used by Netflix,” MailGuard said.
The URL includes “myaccount-netflix” and it is not associated with the streaming platform. Users are then asked to give their email address or phone number, and their Netflix account password.
