Gary Manuel Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I got a scam email from Netflix. They wanted me to pay them money for stuff I can get free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to report it to Netflix as a scam but couldn't find any way of doing that on their website, so I deleted it. I suppose it could be a new marketing strategy Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Had the Netflix one. Also a 'TV licence' scam going round saying they haven't been able to take direct debit payment, and could I re-enter my bank details ........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it could be a new marketing strategy Dick Most email services have an option to flag a message as a phishing scam, which also deletes it from your inbox. For those who don't know, a phishing scam is when you receive an email asking for details such as a log-in or bank numbers as a response and the mails are almost identical to an actual company. As posted above, the sender address is usually a slightly off variant to fool the casual reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
