The message claims that, because of a problem processing your credit card, you must click a link to update card details to keep your account active.<\/p>\n<p>However, the message is not from Netflix and you do not need to update credit card details as claimed.  \u00a0The message is a <a class=\"norm\" title=\"Phishing Scams - Anti-Phishing Information\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hoax-slayer.com\/phisher-scams.html\">typical phishing scam<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Clicking the &#8216;update link&#8217; will take you to a fake webpage designed to look like the genuine Netflix site. Once on the fake page, you will be asked to provide your account login credentials, your credit card details, and, possibly, other personal information as well.<\/p>\n<p>Online criminals will collect all of the information you submit on the bogus page. Armed with your stolen details, the criminals can commit credit card fraud in your name and gain access to your Netflix account. If they have been able to harvest enough of your personal information, they may also be able to steal your identity.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, phishing scammers <a class=\"norm\" title=\"BBB Warning: Netflix Phishing Scam\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bbb.org\/boston\/news-events\/news-releases\/2014\/03\/bbb-warning-netflix-phishing-scam\/\">regularly target Netflix customers<\/a>.
