The email is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/phishing-scams-anti-phishing-information\/\">phishing scam<\/a> designed to steal your personal and financial information.<\/p>\n<p>If you click &#8220;Update&#8221;, you will be taken to a fraudulent website that contains a fake account verification form. \u00a0 The form asks for your name and contact details, your credit card numbers, and other identifying personal information. \u00a0 After you submit the bogus form, you may see a message claiming that you have successfully updated your details and lifted the account suspension.<\/p>\n<p>But, online criminals can now collect the information you supplied and use it to commit fraudulent transactions \u00a0with your credit card and attempt to steal your identity.<\/p>\n<p>Netflix customers have been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.net\/tag\/netflix\/\">repeatedly targeted \u00a0in such phishing scams<\/a> in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Be wary of any email or SMS that claims that you must follow a link to rectify a supposed problem with your Netflix account. \u00a0 Always login to your Netflix account via an official app or by entering the address
