UK Netflix users warned about phishing scam threats

Netflix users in the UK are being warned about a new scam targeting their accounts. Scammers are sending emails that claim users’ Netflix accounts are on hold due to payment issues. These fake emails tell users to "retry or update payment." They look convincing and even include a link to a fake Netflix login page. On this page, users are prompted to enter their account details and payment information. This information can be used by criminals to steal money. Netflix advises users to be cautious. If you receive an email saying your account is on hold, do not click on links or fill out forms. The company emphasizes that they will never ask for personal information like credit card numbers or passwords via email or text. If you have clicked on a suspicious link or entered personal information, Netflix recommends changing your password immediately. It is also advised to contact your bank if you provided any payment information. To avoid such scams in the future, users should not use the same email and password for multiple sites. Always verify the source of messages before responding or clicking on any links.
