I currently have a Netflix basic account. I want to to take advantage of the free Netflix offer from T-Mobil. Do I transition my existing account to be billed to T-Mobile or do I need to setup an entirely new Netflix account?
Log into myT-mobile and add Netflix on Us via manage add-ons. On the T-Mobile app, select Account and manage data & Add-ons. T-Mobile pays Netflix directly for you. For customers with an existing Netflix account, it may take 1-2 Netflix billing cycles for your billing to transfer to T-Mobile.
I'm using Google home with a chromecast to stream Netflix shows for my blind mother who of course can really only use her voice to control it. It will work for about an hour then state that Netflix is not linked at that I should relink the account using the Home app, but of course when I check the Home app the Netlix account is listed as linked. This happens constantly and sometimes will correct itself or a reboot of the chromecast may help. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
I don't have a Netflix account and never have done. I have a Gmail address which I have never used for public communication. Suddenly I started getting email to this Gmail address from Netflix - not a "Welcome to Netflix" email or one requesting address verification, but what looked like a monthly promo for an existing account. This was addressed to someone with a different real name, with that name not similar in any way to the Gmail name.
After a few of these messages I decided to investigate by going to Netflix and trying to log in with that email address. Using the "forgotten password" option I was able to get a password reset email, change the password and log in. The account appeared to be from Brazil, with some watch history but no other personal details stored and no payment information.
Soon the emails from Netflix started to ask me to update payment information. I didn't, of course, and then they changed to "your account will be suspended" and then "your account has been suspended". The "come back to Netflix" emails are still coming in occasionally.
I don't see how this could possibly be a phishing attempt - I carefully checked that I was on the real Netflix site, used a throwaway password not used on any other sites, and did not enter any of my personal information. I also checked the headers of the emails carefully and they were sent by Netflix. So is this just a mistake on somebody's part, mistyping an email address (although it's surprising that Netflix accepted it with no verification), or something more sinister?
(Note that the above steps don't include any "password reset" step for Jim to access the account; that's because the email from Netflix includes authenticated links that won't ask for it. The attacker wants the victim to click on the email links instead of visiting Netflix manually, this is what enables "Eve" to log back in to the account in step 7. Or, since Netflix emails authenticated links, possibly "Eve" already has one.)
The above situation is partially caused by Netflix (understandably) not recognizing Gmail's "dots don't matter" feature where email sent to [email protected] and to [email protected] end up in the same account. That doesn't really matter in your case (given that if this is how you're trying to be scammed, step 1 was skipped entirely), however.
The most probable situation is that someone used an arbitrary Gmail address (yours) in order to sign up for a free trial, or mistakenly tried to change their email to the wrong address (maybe to have a friend/family also get emails).
This would not be a "hack" or even a phishing attempt, just using any available address. This does mean that your Gmail address could not be used for a free trial at Netflix, so there is that negative impact to you.
As a side note, by logging into someone else's account, you have violated many country's "unauthorised access" laws. I would not make a habit of doing this (or telling others on public sites that you have".
I get dozens to hundreds of e-mails from legitimate companies (car dealers, LA dept of water and power, Macys.com, cell phone activation notes, the payroll company ADP, and Nationwide insurance) from people with my first name and an initial matching my last name.
The worst was in early 2019, when I received medical records (Lab results in a .PDF file) - a clear HIPAA violation, since e-mail isn't an authenticated or encrypted communications channel. The "medical records" person, who should know the law, was the sender of the e-mail.
In my case, none of them are nefarious, but represent clueless users or even worse, clueless sales clerks (such as Lenscrafters in Maryland), the Apple store in Manhattan, and others too numerous to mention.
I got emails from Netflix too saying that my account was cancelled and that there was a sign in attempt somewhere from the US... except that I live in Canada, and have never made a Netflix account in the first place. I went directly to the Netflix website and was able to speak to a representative, and they deleted the account. There was no payment information either. I don't understand why this happened, either someone has a similar email address yet without the dots, or perhaps there is some sinister reason, but I wouldn't know. I've wondered if someone might do this hoping that the other person would fill in their payment information, thus enabling the account.
I am new to the paypal. I am having problem how to link my bank account to netflix as they required credit card or debit card which it is usa but i am from canada so how that work when i click on netflix and need put paypal but they still want credit card or debit so how that work so can you explain how?
It sounds like you need to link your bank account to your PayPal account and then set up your Netflix account. You can add your bank account by logging into your PayPal account, click on profile, click Bank Accounts under Financial Information (If you do not see this step, Follow the instructions below), click Add, enter requested information and then click Continue, review the information and click Add Bank Account.
How about the fact that paypal seems to keep not fixing my account when i had mine linked to pay through my bank account all was fine till this month then all of a sudden it changes to my credit card i did nothing to change it and you guys at paypal blamed it on me when i did nothing to change it and its still not fixed yet even though you guys keep saying it is.
I have already linked my bank account to Paypal and it is verified. Everytime I try to set up the free trial with Netflix it asks for my Credit Card or Debit card info. I don't have a credit card linked to my Paypal account. My nephew has his Netflix fees coming out of his bank account and I want to do the same. I just can't get it to ask me to set it up using my bank account instead of a credit card.
I signed up for netflix using my paypal account however it keeps asking me for a crdit card. I dont have one because I only use debit and I cant afford any more debt. lol. 8 bucks a month is affordable. why doesnt netflix add a call my cellphone feature when setting this up and just get the account number and allow us to pay that way. I dont think a prepaid card would be wise considering it costs 4.99 to use once per transaction. if thats th case, netflix just wants to rip us off.... is that the case? I hate th fact paypal and netflix havent made a "partner" payment option whereas netflix is so big and everything.
how do i set up my debit. i have everything confirmed but still it asks me for credit card.......... if it doesnt work im afraid it will charge me in a month for a netflix account i cant even use.... my friend has hers set up and im just wondering why my debit wouldnt work ....
I have already linked 2 of my Bank Accounts to my Paypal profile & there is enough money to pay the monthly fees for my Netflix membership of $8/month. How will Netflix receive their $8 per. month--Will it be taken of the balance in my Paypal account or will it be charged to the card they are demanding I provide them with?
When I called "Kristi"/"Christy" over at Netflix she could not tell me how I would be charged for the monthly fee. She said all they receive is an email from Paypal saying that the money will be given to Netflix. This correspondence never explains how.
I do not want the monthly fee coming from my Debit card. I want the monthly fee to be taken out of the balance on my Paypal account. She told me my question is for the people at Paypal. So, Will it be taken of the monthly fee to maintain my Netflix account ($8 per month) be taken from my Paypal account or will it be charged to the Debit card they are demanding I provide them with?
First of all, I am sorry you are having so much trouble getting Netflix set up. I did go directly to the Netflix.com website and went through the sign-up/check-out flow and was able to select PayPal as a payment method. I was then directed to sign into my PayPal account. I do know that Netflix requires an instant payment which would require a credit card to be linked to your PayPal account. When you add a credit card to your PayPal account this does not mean you have to use the credit card as the funding source.
I am very glad to hear this. & yes, it is a complicated process but I think Netflix should be made aware of how payment will work. This seems to be a common question & I do not know why no one explains this to them.
