Police Warning: Don’t Fall for this Netflix Email Scam
One of the biggest clues would be that (spoiler alert) YOU DON'T HAVE A NETFLIX ACCOUNT.
Then again, I'm wondering...are there actually people out there who don't have Netflix accounts? Apparently there are. A few.
Ohio police are warning people about a potential email scam that disguises itself as a communication from Netflix. The email says that there's a problem with your billing information and then, of course, asks you to click on a link.
Clicking on unknown links can install malware on your computer and/or send your personal information to the bad guys. This should go without saying because, well, it's 2019, but DO NOT EVER CLICK ON STRANGE LINKS OR GIVE OUT YOUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
Enough said. Don't be a statistic.
