Netflix Email Scam

[Klubmasta Will]

i can't believe i almost fell for this. i received the following email just now:

Your Account Cancellation

everything looked legit. i clicked onto a site that looked like the real netflix site and i almost sent them my credit card info.

then i realized that i used a gmail email account to set up netflix, and the email was sent to my work address.

it's a clever scam, because anyone who has a netflix account that receives the email will instinctively think it's a legitimate email.

f*ckers!!!

Did you "login" on the screen you landed on?

If so you'd better go changing your passwords everywhere.

As for in general, anytime I get an email asking me to login to an account of any kind, I check the link to see where the destination is. If it's not the owners domain I don't click.

i did not login, as i caught myself in time.

i use different passwords for almost everything anyway.

so many people out to scam each other!
