"Netflix Email Scam" is an email that is distributed as part of a spam campaign - cyber criminals send it to many people. Note that this is a scam, a 'phishing' attempt, and has nothing to do with Netflix.

It steal users' usernames and passwords. Similar emails are used to distribute malware (malicious programs) such as Trojans and other programs of this kind. This and other similar emails can never be trusted and the best option is to ignore them.

In this case, the "Netflix Email Scam" spam campaign targets people who use the Netflix media-services provider. According to the email, some information on the recipient's Netflix account is missing or incorrect. Scammers encourage people to update account information within 72 hours, otherwise the account will be limited.

There is a "VERIFY NOW" button that, if clicked, opens a fake Netflix website asking the user to sign-in. It asks users to enter their email addresses or telephone numbers and passwords used to log into the (existing) Netflix account. This email cannot be trusted.

Cyber criminals often claim to be representatives of well-known companies - they send emails using names of various popular companies and attempt to make these emails appear legitimate and official. In this case they attempt to steal people's personal details/information.

There are many other similar spam campaigns on the internet. Most are used to cause computer infections (distribute malware) that steal data. Typically, cyber criminals employ these programs to generate revenue and cause victims financial loss.

There are many spam campaigns including, for example, "Unicredit Bank Email Virus", "Love Letter Email Virus", and "Y.E DESIGN Email Virus". These are spam email campaigns designed to proliferate high-risk malicious programs. Typically, cyber criminals proliferate programs such as Adwind, LokiBot, TrickBot, Emotet, and so on.

Otherwise, it is harmless. In other cases, cyber criminals send emails that contain malicious attachments such as Microsoft Office documents, PDF files, executable files (.exe), archive files (ZIP, RAR, and others), or website links that lead to malicious files. None can infect computers unless they are opened.

Be careful with emails received from unknown, suspicious addresses. Do not open included attachments or web links without making sure it is safe to do so. Dubious emails are often irrelevant, and yet presented as legitimate, official, or important. Ignore emails of this type.

Do not use various third party downloaders, installers, unofficial websites, or other such tools to download (or install) software. They might be used by cyber criminals to proliferate various rogue apps or other unwanted software (potentially, malicious one). Update software using tools or functions that are provided by official developers only.

Fake (unofficial) tools should not be used (they often cause computer infections). Software cracking tools should be avoided too, since cyber criminals employ them to proliferate malicious programs. These tools often install malware rather than activating any paid software free of charge.

Note that, in any case, it is illegal to use cracking tools. Finally, reputable anti-virus/anti-spyware software can prevent computers from being infected - it detects and removes threats before any damage is done. If you have already opened malicious attachments, we recommend running a scan with Combo Cleaner Antivirus for Windows to automatically eliminate infiltrated malware.

Another variant of "Netflix" email spam campaign. This one claims that Netflix was unable to collect the monthly payment and encourages users to re-enter (update) credit card details and other personal data:

Netflix was unable to collect a payment because of one of the following:
- The method of payment on file is no longer valid or has expired. - The financial institution did not approve the monthly charge.
To resolve the issue, update your payment method. Download form attached to this email and follow the instructions.
Once your payment information has been updated, you can continue enjoying Netflix. If you're having trouble updating your payment information, you may want to reach out to your card issuer to ensure the card information is up to date or try an alternate method of payment.
Netflix will also automatically retry the failed payment periodically over the course of your billing cycle to help you get back to enjoying the service.
