Netflix and no chill: Warning issued to public over current online SCAM

If an email marked 'Netflix cancellation' lands in your email inbox, take a deep breath and ignore it, ladies.

While the thoughts of someone putting an end to our nightly TV binges sends a chill through most of us, the company have assured customers that the email which is currently doing the rounds did not originate with them.

According to the Independent, the email informs customers that their account has been cancelled and requests they click on a link and input credit card details in order to reactivate it.

It has been established that the link directs customers to a phishing website, so your enthusiasm to 'reactive' your 'dead' account could cost you your savings.

"Phishing scams are, unfortunately, very common and often exploit well known brands. Internet users should always be cautious when they receive an email request any personal information or credit card details.” said Nicola Watkins, a spokesperson for Netflix.

Customers have been asked to contact Netflix at phishing@netflix.com if they receive an email which raises concern.
